New Powers and The Vanguard's Rebirth

1. Due to the cost of repairs throughout Anorthile, King Andorain II decides against fully rebuilding the Gates of Anorthile.
2. With the najiros population beginning to grow again, many descendants of the original Vanguard remnants begin to contemplate rebuilding the order. The few surviving remnants, most of whom were mere students at the time of The War of Calamities, came together and laid plans to begin rebuilding The Vanguard.
3. Being the only group of trained and practicing najiros in The Feralands, the Vanguard have little difficulty warding off most who would bother them. However, they also have a hard time befriending people in The Feralands because of the tainted reputation of magic after The War of Calamities.
4. The Nesar Theni was of particular interest to The Vanguard, but it lied in the hotly contested territory surrounding Nandorthel.
5. The Sómstrynd Clans were formed by four, older families of the old Lamniemalos Kingdom: Clan Holnas (the ruling clan), Clan Beran, Clan Hafecas and Clan Wulfas.
6. The ruling Clan, Clan Holnas, takes Holenburg as their capital.

The Siege of Léomael and The War of the Mountains

7. Three major decisions were decided:

   • With the growing much stronger, Dithair encouraged that they begun attempting to rebuild The Feralands and restore The Anointed order in those lands.
   • It was decided that the Anointed Kings would set up a new state in each region to provide stability. This would include overthrowing some of the non-Anointed states (such as the petty rulers in Gorandel and the tyrant in Ironrend).
   • In terms of the Siege of Léomael, it was decided that they would aid the city in their war and bring them under their protection.
8. House Westanwind protested Ácholt becoming the lord since he was a non-blood heir nor had he married into either house.
9. House Westanwind took deep insult and the Windrae Alliance was essentially broken, with neither side willing to deal with the other.
