The Northern Arangothian Army, led personally by Perlim Larkspin moves against them and eventually drives the Riders out of Ruthmarna, but not before much damage has been done.

	'''VAMPIRES''' - Erik Dovestar, vampire and advocate of vampire rights, is captured by the Lord Chancellor Thomas Bourne himself after a duel and imprisoned.

Dovestar is recaptured but escapes once more under mysterious circumstances. Bourne, and his office's feelings against the undead are made abundantly clear during this often physical and philosophical clash, which would become known as 'The Dovestar Affair.'

	'''AN AIRSHIP''' - Although a few airships had flown through Drachean skies previously, they had always been extremely rare and had not been seen for years. The arrival of [[The Black Sheep]], airship of House of Maessen and Sons, marks the first long-lived such specimen, used in 'Taipan' [[Resque Maessen\|Resque Maessen's]] often morally questionable (but especially lucrative) economic dealings. This has included privateering for the Alesian-Ellurian side in the Southlands war, slaving, and increased contact with Xiunhai-La and Nipangu. His airship, as are almost all the world's, is of Xiunlan design. Xiunhai-la is an eastern nation of aviators, which with Nipangu, whence come the katana blades, make up what is known of this world's ~~orient~~.

	'''KORTHAI PIRATES''' - The [[Humans#Korthai\|Korthai]] Pirates, long operating around Arangothian shores, declare war on slavers. They are also on the side of Aslar in the Eastern War, sinking Ellurian ships. In the next few years, they would become closely allied with Arangoth through their leader, gaining a home port in the Transdarianian fief and city of Mhernettla, east of Drache.

	'''ORGANIZED CRIME''' - 'A few months ago' Kreshak (The Demon Mask) and Coldhands, two of the city's most powerful crimelords were arrested by the first incarnation of Arangoth's secret police, of which there would be a number of incarnations. The takedown, ostensibly by 'vigilantes' coincides with a huge crackdown on crime and vampires by the Guard, the Border Patrol, and the Secret Police. Some say Drache's organized criminal underworld has never fully recovered - though crime on the whole has not reduced to any large degree. The exceptions include Ladies Oiachi and Eclipse, who would emerge in the future as crimelords. Other figures remain subtle and unidentifiable.

	'''THE SOUTHLAND WAR''' - After an unprovoked attack by an Ellurian fief on the Aslarian port of Selrose Bay, war breaks out between the recently and violently unified Elluria and the long peaceful Aslar. Drachean Dizzy 'Tashli' Longtongue, a kender, is still King of Aslar by lottery but is due to be sacrificed in a few months to make way for the randomly chosen successor. Fourteen year old Queen Laravel of Elluria does not have a great deal of control over the entirety of her nation, which has fought numerous wars in the past decade or so. Aslar is considered the more powerful nation, but has not been at war for two centuries, while most Ellurians are well-blooded. Arangoth declares its neutrality and The Raven's acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, the halfling Lord Julian Greenhill, orders Aslarian and Ellurian ships out of harbour for fear of being caught up in a conflict. The fierce Korthai, landless nation of pirates, ally themselves to Aslar and begin sinking Ellurian ships.

They are often aided by Rings of Truth. Abraxas ul-Caros is the first of these.		'''MAGISTRATES''' - Around this time the Chancellory creates a new kind of Magistrate.

There is some consternation among fans and bookies that famed Border Watch Commander Jaonos Mistwinter and noted bounty hunter Jinnai Halfmoor, considered two of Arangoth's top archers, are both missing from the contest. Ange'lice wins the tournament and is popularly applauded (overcoming prejudice against her parentage) as the finest archer in two lands. Tallasia Casiatin is runner-up.

	'''VAMPIRES''' - Erik Dovestar, vampire and advocate of vampire rights, is captured by the Lord Chancellor Thomas Bourne himself after a duel and imprisoned. Guardswoman Kellan Mistwood-Von Stahl is complicit in Dovestar's later escape, and is subsequently dishonourably discharged from the Royal Guard by Bourne. Dovestar is recaptured but escapes once more under mysterious circumstances. Bourne, and his office's feelings against the undead are made abundantly clear during this often physical and philosophical clash, which would become known as 'The Dovestar Affair.'

	'''~~DROW~~''' - A number of ~~drow~~ attempt to assassinate King Arlok, but are prevented by the actions of the Royal Guard. The assassins and conspirators are quickly tried and executed, their heads set on display in the Market Square. Public sentiment is roused even further against the dark elves.

	'''DISASTROUS FIRE''' - A presumably natural fire rages in the Old City and destroys much of the Red Lantern District. The Regency Council starts to rebuild with work crews returned from the countryside, but near empty coffers are strained heavily. A number of buildings are renamed in honour of deceased Councilors Shannon Devereux and Sarnem Vansippa.

	'''ROYAL GUARD''' - Captain Cassidy Mistwood steps down for family reasons, being replaced as per custom by Arms-Commander Lucius Von Stahl, her brother-in-law by disgraced Armsman Kellan Mistwood-Von Stahl. Captain Von Stahl's fame stem from his good organizational skills and reputation from years of hard work. He dispenses with all the Mistwood specialist divisions and only retains the Aerial division. Guards themselves recognize a small distinction between 'New City' Guards and 'Wharf' Guards. Triolus Pyrder, wharfer and Guardsman decorated by the King himself, is made Arms-Commander in charge of the Wharf while a second Arms-Commander in the elf Ilthanas Lanthalasa is also promoted.

	'''ELVENDEEP''' - The Second Elvendeepish Civil War begins. Its roots are traced to the unresolved issues of the first: Governor Silverbow's controversial acceptance of ~~drowish~~ refugees; and his placing the nation under the sovereignty of Arangoth. Rogue Deepish Governing Council members, apparently aided by ~~drow~~, take the capital and sole city, Elfspire. Many Drachean elves return to their homeland to fight. Asking their new sovereign King Arlok ul-Dorn to not interfere with his province's troubles, the liberal Silverbow/Mistwood faction, representing the chosen government, is eventually victorious after months of warfare. Governor Topaz Silverbow resigns afterwards.		'''ELVENDEEP''' - The Second Elvendeepish Civil War begins.

	'''GRAIN DOLE''' - The Grain Dole, Drache's saviour from famine, is altered by Council law. State grain is now offered at a responsible price, prompting private businesses to meet or beat that price to keep business. The famine is over, but Transdarianian production is not completely up to pre-Cult levels, especially with poor weather the last few years.

	'''THE MIST/THIRD UNDEAD HORDE''' - A ghostly ship docks in Drache shortly after lightning hits the mist, unleashing a horde of zombie warriors on the city. They attack the Iron Gate and the Forest Reserve, defended by the Royal Guard and various sundry heroes. This first attack prompts the Lord Protector to declare Martial Law in Drache for the duration of the crisis. Several units of militia are raised, mercenaries hired, and the Alesian soldiers in the city organized on its behalf. It should be noted this is the third (!) horde of undead to threaten Drache since its founding.
