 * Events:
 * Western Land: Ships continually don the coastlines of Iberia to discover new cities, travelling past Ceuti further in.
 * Colonies in the Farlands: Kaevashafen is maintained by vessels transporting food and other necessities from Snaelland resupplies and from Leirvik. Settlement policies are made to encourage expansion and population. Efforts are made to maintain peace between settlers and natives, and trade is incentivized between both parties.
 * Norse Identity: Norse culture and religion is continually propagated on Sørstatt lands, and shrines and temples dedicated to Norse gods are rapidly built across Vestkyst.
 * A Heathen Faith?: As word of an unknown faith spreads gradually across the Empery, a decree was issued, ordering prosecution on people not following the Norse faith in Vestkyst unless they either join the Vestkyster Guard, pay a certain percentage more taxes or move to Kaevashafen.
 * Northern Assimilation: Sami and Gothic tribes on the Vestkyster border are offered to join Vestkyst proper, promising better living conditions and safety.
 * Military Training: Part of the raid pool (10-15%) are given proper military training to fare better in inland wars.
