 * Wars and Conflicts: (1 longship = ~80 men)
 * Second Invasion of France: 
 * March on Paris (ongoing): 80 longships land on Rouen, and along with Sørstatter forces, follow the Seine to the Sørstatter-French border before leaving and march by land, circling around any possible fortification they may put on Paris. Another 100 followed the Loire (a river in Western France to IRL Orleans and march northwestward to Paris. Both armies are given orders to set seige on the city and burn everything on sight, while also capturing prisoners. As the siege continues, orders are made to ensure that Paris' surrender would come as quick as possible.
 * Raid on the Low Countries: A fleet of 50-70 longships are sent to Amsterdam and along the Meuse to Liège to cause havoc, and in the case of Amsterdam, set siege.

 * Diplomacy:
 * Sodor: Join us and no one will get hurt.
 * Germania: The time is right. It is now or never to invade France.
 * Events:
 * Western Land (?): Using Oveido as a stopover point, the longships don the Lusitanian coast, keeping records of whatever lands they found.
 * Colonies in the Farlands: Vestkyster vessels reached the "lush green land" part of the Hinterlands. As the news travel back to Bergen, vessels of colonists are sent towards the place to set up the first colony in "Skogsjord" ("forest land", but actually just Newfoundland) due to the lush land ("Skogsjord" is still considered part of "the Hinterlands" and in extension part of the same landmass, as per contemporary Vestkyster and Snaellander beliefs). The colony is named Kaevashafen ("Kaeva", the dynasty + "hafen", German for "port") and is located on the easternmost point of "Skogsjord" (info added for mapping purposes).
 * Colonial Redirection: Setters in Aravik are redirected to populate Kaevashafen due to more hospitable conditions.
