	Soon the Reach approached the Crown as night fell. The Kurathene soldiers were exhausted from the hot days sun, and without a drop of water in sight, were struggling in thirst. During the night, the barbarians encircled the Kuraths Reach, and hollered and yelled all night, driving the fear of The'~~Ton~~ into the hearts of the weaker willed legionnaires.

	As the sun rose on a sleepness night, the Kurathene army could not see where their enemy hid. The plainsmen were experts in their territory, and hid in small groups around the hills. The Barbarians were waiting.		As the sun rose on a sleepness night, the Kurathene army could not see where their enemy hid.

Backed by teh knights of the Order of the Hammer, the Kuraths Reach legion was to strong for the Barbarians to withstand, and a seige was eventually initiated around the village of Pol.

	In the Epillus/Liandra region, the army of Euphus Praetlyn and Nathan Blackhammer arrived at the camps along the border of Julaspium.

	- Nathan dies~~, popular~~ support from ~~populace~~ to ~~keep~~ his ~~family in power~~. ~~Nobles~~, irked at the heredity ~~laws changed~~ from elective vassalage ~~to Salegenic Proteginency~~ try and force ~~a recognition of~~ title to Euphius		Shortly after the rebulding of Lake Blackhammer begins, and the establishing of citizenship laws, Grand Duke Nathan Elliot Blackhammer dies.
	~~- Nobles take sides with~~ the merchant classes ~~over political situation~~ and ~~rights~~ to ~~heredity. Fearing~~ Euphius would ~~modify~~ the Feudal Contract and ~~Merchantilist law~~, ~~both noble~~ and ~~merchant classes rally~~ support ~~behind Nathans Wife. She~~ is ~~proclaimed official~~ Grand ~~DUchess~~
	~~- Nathans wife,~~ Grand Duchess ~~Chrystal Isodoria begins~~ rebuilding ~~project~~ and economic restructuring, ~~reaffirming rights~~ to ~~local merchants~~ and ~~increasing Mercantilism~~. ~~Fuedal COntract reaffirmed~~		Popular support is poured from the people to maintain his wife, Chrystal, as the true claimant to the title. The nobles, still irked by the changes to the laws of heredity, from an elective among the vassalage, try and force the title to be recognized back to Euphius, claiming Nathan was a usurper after all, and not the rightful heir.
	~~- THe impovershed~~ Blackhammer ~~family~~, ~~thanks~~ to ~~Nathans giving away~~ all the ~~money, run into serious~~ economic ~~trouble.~~
	~~- Chrystal Scedes her title to her daughter~~, ~~Auwenilda~~, ~~and~~ begins a campaign to marry ~~her young daughter~~ to a rich noble, to ~~save~~ the ~~family line~~.		Eventually, however, the wemic nobility and merchant classes rally around the Blackhammer family, fearing that Euphius would change the Feudal Contract and remove the Merchants Rights.
	- Auwenilda ~~leaves Pylatea~~ to ~~honour~~ her ~~fathers wish~~ that ~~she undergoes~~ a ~~religious~~ pilgramige. ~~Gabriel Blackhammer granted stewardsship over Pylatea~~.
	- Euphius, and ~~his supporting nobles,~~ begin campaign to ~~have~~ Gabriel ~~recognized~~ as ~~proper~~ heir ~~in Auwenildas absence~~.		The merchant prince, Calvus Gilonem petitions to the nobles, and convinces them that granting the title back to Euphius would lead furthe to a change in the Feudal Contract, and ending in total regal supremacy, as well as an elimination of the General Assembly, so Euphius could restructure the land to his likeing.

			The locals, outraged at this prospect, begin to stir revolt against Euphius and his backers. Also, many of his previous allies fall to the side of the locals and Merchants, and begin to support the Blackhammer line

			Soon, Chrystal Isodoria Blackhammer is declared the Grand Duchess, as Euphus, seeing a full revolt on the horizon, gives up his claim once again, and submits.

			The new Grand Duchess resumes the immense rebuilding process and begins a total economic restructuring with the assistance of the Merchant Prince and Steward, Calvus Gilonem. Rights are once again reaffirmed to the Merchants and craftsman, and the Feudal Contract is resigned among the nobility.

			Trouble still seems to curse the Blackhammer line, however. They are basically bankrupt, after Nathan offered the estate to rebuld the city. Through all of the economic restruction, financial disaster looms on the horizon for the family, so the Duchess begins a massive political campaign to marry the daugher, Auwenilda to a rich noble. However, to make sure the money goes into the fiefdom, the noble must also become the claimant of the title.

			Duchess Chrystal declares Auwenilda as the heir apperant to the title, transfering across from the rightful heir, her son, Gabriel. This means that when Auwenilda takes title, her husband would effectivly be given the title of Grand Duke, and as the male, complte control of the fief, and the mans forutne would be that of the blackhammer line. Under the laws of inheritance, marriages outside of the family became "adoptions" so the new noble would effectivly take the name of his wife, and not the traditional way.

			To devote her time to this task, Chrystal cedes her title to Auwenilda immidiatly, and begins her travels. Auwenilda is corronated as the Grand Duchess.

			However, Auwenilda was under and oath to undertake a pilgramige on the death of her father, and she decided she will not forsake the oath. She leaves for her pilgramige, and give her brother temporary title, as 2nd Grand Duke.

			Immediatly, Euphius and the General Assembly begin a campaign to convince Gabriel to Usurp the title, as he is the rightful heir

			Once again, chaos looms for Pylatea.

	~~- A small '~~thieves ~~guild'~~ of smugglers ~~establishes among~~ the ~~barbaric colonists~~. ~~Lockdowns occur~~ to ~~prevent increase~~ and ~~spread of crime~~.		Even though order was returning and law was again prevailing, the rush estabished a criminal element in the city, pushed harder by the granting of Merchants rights.
	- Malekite ~~raids from~~ the mountains. Blackhammer ~~is sieged~~.
	- Nathan, ~~fearing his defeat~~ and ~~death withdraws~~ to Hammerkeep, ~~and forces the Assembly~~ to ~~accept~~ a law ~~of Proginency~~, ~~thereby granting~~ his ~~wife~~, and ~~the following children~~, ~~as direct heirs to title~~.		Many disgruntled ousted prospectors, and indigenous locals feeling they are not getting their fair share, establish a "thieves Guild" of bandits and smugglers, to funnel the wealth into what they beleive to be the rightful pockets.
	~~- Battle of~~ Lake Blackhammer. ~~City retaken from barbarians.~~ Nathan is wounded.
			The crime began to escalate to the point where Nathan declared martial law among the colonies, and soon established the Blackhammer Watchman as a guards regiment to act as a judiciary to the residents.

			The army is weakened by the transition, and as more trouble decends on the small colony of Pylatea, the Malekite hordes living deep in the Galdosian mountains begin to stir, trying to seize the chance and exploit the chink in Pylateas armour.

			Soon, the King Orgoron the Maneavolent sends his armies, and after some minor skirmishes with Kuraths Reach, pins them inside the city and lays siege to the Colony of Lake Blackhammer.

			Fearing defeat against the strong armies of the Giant King, Nathan pulls his army and residents out of the city into the hammerkeep, and calls the troops from around the Fiefdom to lift the seige.
			As the nobles arrive in Hammerkeep, he announces something else... a change in laws of inheritance to a strong Primogrniture, meaning his children will directly inherit all titles. He establishes a Semisalic law, so even his daughter can claim title, and also, his wife.

			A little upset at the declatation, the nobles nonetheless sent forth their armies, and soon removed the malekites from Lake Blackhammer.

			Nathan, not one to fear the front lines, is seriously wounded in the battle, and many begin to fear his death, and what will happen when his still living wife claims the title of Grand Duchess...
