 * Events:
 * Yuen Çin and the Heavenly Republic: Yuen Çin was brought up in a military family, but eventually found his calling in the word of God, and became a priest in his rural hometown. His eloquent speeches and mastery of words later got the attention of the Patriarch of Constantinople, who appointed him to the Diocese of Chiko, the largest Yin-Tsu majority city. Upon the decline of Daevite power, Yuen Çin saw the writing on the wall, and had decided that the time was ripe to both restore the independence of the Yin-tsu nation that had been denied them ever since the Kingdom of Tartary, on the tail end of the Roman Empire, as well as usher in God's Kingdom on Earth: a devout, churchgoing nation that valued the Word of God above all. Throughout the 1340s and 50s, he would lead the Yin-tsu as their Heavenly Messenger into rebellion against the Altaic Khanate, hoping to usher in a new golden age of peace and prosperity for the Yin-tsu, as well as a golden age of spirituality and connecting with the Almighty.
 * Beginnings of a Nation: Much of the trappings of a nation are created at this time. The Palace of the Messenger is constructed in Chiko, to serve as the residence of the Heavenly Messenger. New, distinctly Yin-tsu coins are also issued, instead of continuing to use Byzantine, Vedenan, or Daevite currency. Law enforcement is also recruited from amongst the people, and sent out to towns and cities, in order to bring the rule of law back to the Yin-tsu territories.
 * The Ecclesiastic Network: To better acquaint the people with the glory of God, churches are constructed, so that even the smallest hamlet of just a handful of people could have a church to call their own. Priests are encouraged to preach to the people in the vernacular instead of in Latin whenever possible (i.e use the vernacular as much as one can without being labelled a heretic by the higher Church officials). Clergy, as well as families of clergy, are also offered tax-exempt status for their households, as well as Church property.
 * Diplomacy:
 * ​​​​​​​Vedena: We're both Orthodox Christian, we're a republic, and we'll give you the ability to base your fleet at our ports if you help us. Please help us gain independence from the Wicked Daevite.
 * Svartheim: please help us, we're both Orthodox
