    The Son of Peace

    The Taqtirun Lesson
    Military action

    The Minores are forced into the conflict in Pendahar when a decorated general of their army is killed by assassins from Tifwa Akn posing as Shuri rebels. Seeing past this ploy, the Minores declare their allegiance to Tifwa Akn and invite their finest military leaders to a celebration that ends with their deaths. The event draws its name from the town of Taqtirun, in Areqim province, where it occurred.   A tentative alliance with Shuri is hammered out in the wake of the bloodbath.

    Desert Envoys
    Diplomatic action

    Envoys from Shuri and Tifwa Akn, warring nations, ask the Minore ruler to support their land claims. In exchange, each vows to open trade with their nation and, more crucially, to provide free passage to L'ai Alaq. Concerns of the ministers of Qildab about the fighting bleeding over onto their streets stay the Minores' involvement.

    Qildabmania!
    Cultural event

    Archaeological research reveals commonalities between Qildabic and south Tyrilan cultures.  Fascination with all things Qildab spreads across Minore territory and beyond.  The figure of Death from ancient Qildabic religion revives interest in the Tyrilan cult of the dead, and underground groups meet to practice a reconstructed version of the old faith.

    Vupir Aperrah
    Life, Identity

    Vupir Aperrah, young son of one of the diplomats brokering the trade deal with Qildab, is secretly taken under the wing of Hex wizards and gains their tutelage while overseas. Vupir has the Gift; only his father's influence has kept others from finding out. Under Minore law, even latent magical ability is criminalized. Tales of when his kind ruled the world ring in his ears as the Hex grooms him to be their proxy in Tyril. He is 11 at the time.

    Trade re-established along the Ruby Road
    Financial Event

    After Eannelk forces release Drakoyan territories, trade with Tyril resumes under the aegis of the Sunset Empire. Though old deals must be renegotiated, Minore coffers eventually reap the rewards.

    Trade Negotiations with Qildab begin
    Financial Event

    Now that the borders of the Minore's territory extend to the sea, the ruling family of the Uvan Empire strikes up trade relations with the nearby continent of Pendahar. Its largest nations, Sassam and Najamur, hold exclusive contracts with the Southern Federation, so the Minores set their sights on Qildab.

    Minore Dynasty begins
    Political event

    The Minores inherit a swathe of southern territories from the Pivoyats, but break from tradition in refusing to marry into the tribes they now rule over. The relationship is very much one of Conqueror and Conquered, and the population is governed with an iron hand.   Though they deny mages full rights of citizenship, the Minores seek to exploit magical talent more where their predecessors did not. Prison camps for mages are opened in new lands below the Fourth Meridian, and experiments are occasionally conducted here.

    Riangh Wars end / Pivoya dynasty over
    Military action

    The House of Pivoya finds itself ill-equipped to hold their newly acquired territories given the toll of the spice war on the house coffers. Their interests are overtaken by the competing Minore family.

    The Hex is expelled from Enk' Ishr
    Military action

    The Sons of the Serpent at long last oust the Hex from Enk' Ishr, and indeed, from the continent of Gnosit. Half of the dark mages flee to nearby Pendahar, half to Tyril, site of the vast empire they once ruled.  This divide evidences a schism within the Hex between the former group, whose members remain single-mindedly dedicated to returning Khajuro to this plane through magical mastery, and the latter, which believes that regaining political power is the best means to this goal.

    Reign of the Stone Peacock ends
    Political event

    The Peacock was the first ruler since the Silence of Magic to try to incorporate those with the Gift back into normal society.  Despite the unqualified success of his state projects and overwhelming popularity with the common people, these proposals put a target on his back.  Local lords labelled the Peacock a "mage lover" in smear campaigns which ultimately caused his downfall. "The Peacock's Blunder" remains a key metaphor to this day in Uvan culture. Its moral: good intentions are less important than vigilance.
