 * The White Men from the Sea: ​​​​​​With the tribes of the Monahtanuk and the northernmost Powhatan clans being taken over and sometimes removed from their homes by the strange men from the sea, tales have circulated about this strange tribe. According to many a northerner, the strange pale men, who call themselves "Graikos", are from the far eastern edge of the world, and lived in a majestic land of great mountains and calm seas, with cities as great, or perhaps even greater, than the most majestic of the cities of the southern land of Osnerol. They were apparently driven out of their home by a race of men with heads of metal and arms of spikes, and they had in their possession ships a hundred times the size of our largest canoes, and strange beasts the size of deer, and fast as the wind. Enough curiosity for these pale-faced "Graikos" had built up so that a party of 15 brave and adventurous young men were willing to make the trek to their domain. On a hot midsummer's day, after giving offerings to the spirits and to Pocahontas, they began their journey. This was to be the first real contact between the Roanoke Clan and the Elysians, and would change the course of history in the Americas forever...
 * Precursors to the Cult of Pocahontas: As the Accursed Plague begins to slowly subside from our lands (for now), and spread beyond our own borders, compounded with news of the expansion of the strange white-faced tribe, forcing our northern brethren out of their villages, our populace begins to further believe in the sanctity of Pocahontas as a protector of the Roanoke Clan. The beginnings of the idea of the Omospondia Barbaroi (as later coined by Elysian historians), the belief in a divinely-ordained task and destiny for the Roanoke Clan to unite the disparate clans of the Powhatan people and lead them to glory, can also be traced roughly to this period. These two ideas were the foundation of what would later coalesce into the Cult of Pocahontas, a religious movement heavily influenced by Hellenic/Elysian paganism and, to a lesser degree, Orthodox Christianity, positing Pocahontas as the head goddess of the Hellenic pantheon (Zeus here is relegated to the status of "Protector of the Whites").
 * Expansion: We begin expanding outwards, calling nearby clans to join us, promising them safety from raids from rival clans, as well as safety from the Accursed Plague and greater luck and prosperity via God-Weroansqua Pocahontas, Deliverer of Health and Extinguisher of Pestilence.
 * Diplomacy: 
 * ​​​​​​​Powhatan clans and tribes: Join our wise counsel, and you too, shall recieve the blessing and protection of God-Weroansqua Pocahontas, Deliverer of Health, Extinguisher of Pestilence, yadda yadda yadda.
 * Elysia: ​​​​​​​hi white people, we come in peace (for now I guess)
