Update 2: Years 51-75
The nation of
Aagödia has faced both adversity and prosperity as the year progressed, bringing great change to the queendom. Construction began upon a great collection of buildings, known as Serephina's House of Detoxification upon the river. Using the river's natural flow of water, the building is to provide clean bathing quarters not just for the wealthy but the masses as well. Despite this growing achievement, the people have been rendered unhappy by a growing famine in the lands, which resulted in many hundreds of people starving in the streets, while the nobility feasted. This has grown resentment both in the cities and the farms of the nation, as the people become riled. The setbacks of famine to the nation's population have still been offset by the founding of the city of Grold on the coast of the Keralian Sea. Populated by migrants and former nomads, they have recognized the glory of Aagödia and joined under the unified government.

The tumultuous period ongoing in Surmum has not been without its consequences in the Bunrun River region. The new nation of
Eannuma has emerged near the Gilasha Mountains. A city of a tribe of Eannumites who did not join with the Karubites in the creation of Surmum, the capital of Noptro has grown to notable size. The Eannumites have gained support from other local tribes as they begin to build a kingdom of their own, threatening the status quo of stability within the larger Surmum nation.
Eannuma Stat Changes
+5,000 Total Population from growth
The city of Drellen has met with greater prosperity and formed the kingdom of
Enfel, otherwise known as the Kingdom of the River. This new political body upon the Plavant River has grown due to the growing town of Volen joining into the new kingdom as the Klaplant have increased their slave raids around the region. Threatened by their mutual enemy to the west, the cities of Volen and Drellen have joined in alliance and common cause to prevent themselves from being conquered or enslaved as others have been.

In the northwestern part of the Keralian Sea region, the new nation of
Fimbulvetr has emerged from chaos. The Fimbulvetrese have established a kingdom upon the coast, near the great woods of the north. Attributing to their establishment as a entity has been a bountiful harvest from local crops, which has led to extraordinary population growth, nearly doubling the nation's size in a mere twenty-five years.
Fimbulvetr Stat Changes
+24,000 Total Population from growth
The
Honacian nation has further benefited from the boons of the Bunrun River over the past few years. The population has continued to grow naturally thanks to the fertile production of crops in the area. A key to this period's growth of Honacia has been the establishment of the new city of Jukit. The city has grown up over the past twenty-five years as a small fishing and farming village along the coast of the Keralian Sea. The community has become increasingly prosperous and filled with Honacian migrants. After building a small temple to the Honacian gods themselves, they soon joined the growing power on the Bunrun River. Despite this success, there has been some clash among the People of the new city and of the old, which has overall reduced faith among the class with the government.
Honacia Stat Changes
+13,000 Total Population from growth
+15,000 from addition of Jukit
The People Loyalty decreases to Wary
The kingdom of
Klaplant has become the most populous political entity within the Keralian Sea region over the past twenty-five years. Over one hundred thousand people now pay homage to the king of Klaplant, slaves and free farmers and craftsmen alike. The large farming population as well as increased slave "migration" to the nation have resulted in this growing prosperity. The enslaving efforts and development of the fledgling army have led to the Nobility gaining further and greater influence over the people. Unfortunately, the farmers and slaves have reached critical levels of dissatisfaction and it is believed among many that a rebellion could be on the nearby horizon.
Klaplant Stat Changes
+31,000 Total Population from growth
+3,000 from captured slaves

The past twenty-five years have been quiet but modestly prosperous for the kingdom of

The oligarchy of
Neek has continued to maintain its proud traditions and develop its culture over the past twenty-five years. The growing population has led to increasing deforestation of the island and in return has led to a large supply of lumber fueling the community's heat and construction. A new major development has occurred as well, as a remote site has been established to commune with the gods. The so-called Oracle of Neek is a moral woman chosen by the oligarchy to be the ambassador to the gods in a secluded region. She has been sought upon to search out the gods' blessings for the greater glory and prosperity of the Neek people.
Neek Stat Changes

A barbarically cold new theocracy has emerged in the dense forests of the northwest, known to its inhabitants as
Rowacha. The new nation revolves around a series of huts generously known as the capital city, called Moskyava. The Rowachan people are said to be a sturdy bunch, eking out an existence in a truly hostile environment, particularly during the winter. The farmers face true problems however, making barely enough to sustain themselves, and most of the population remain toiling in the fields, which are kept limited by the densely wooded region.
Rowacha Stat Changes
Farmers Loyalty decreases to Wary
The clans of
Ruhin have continued their growth into prosperity along the Rhend River as they continue settling upon its banks to the south. With encouragement of the clan leaders, more have moved to a new town known as Reh, founded as a sister settlement to the capital of Ruh. The clans which have formed have created a distinct identity of their own, and one more urban than those they left. The smaller Reh population have quickly begun to view themselves as superior to the Ruh, as a more developed society.
Ruhin Stat Changes
+21,000 Total Population from growth
Reh Clans faction emerges
Farmers size decreases to Medium
City-Dwellers strength increases to Weak
The story of
Surmum continues to remain a divisive one, as the monarchy struggles to maintain some balance between Honacians, Karubites, and Eannumites. They have received some aid by the exploitation of forests within the Gilasha Mountains, providing wood for further construction. Exploration into the mountains, while yielding new materials, has still led to the discovery of the rest of the Eannumite tribe. They have established the city of Noptro and created the new kingdom of Eannuma, offering a new opponent for control of the land's fields. The monarchy has attempted to appeal to the failing support from both Hondallab and the Karubites by constructing new temples in both primary regions. The Karubites have reconciled with the government over this noble gesture, leading to improved support from that faction. Unfortunately, the Honacians of Hondallab have viewed the effort as blasphemy, which has led to the city being pushed to the brink of rebellion. To make matters worse, the Eannumites feel that the monarch of Surmum has ignored their own religious faiths in favor of others. Combined with the establishment of Eannuma, it seems that the Eannumites are filling with resentment rapidly.

The people of
Sylvania have been faced with continuing dissent among the main ranks of the people. The rabble rousers who have previously caused trouble have grown in strength, sowing seeds of discord among the Sons. They have called for the gods to cast down the Fathers, who they believe to be blasphemers and in full disfavor with the pantheon. The call for rebellion grows with each passing year throughout the whole of the Sylvanian lands.

The
Tau monarchs of this past period have seemed quiet to many, and corrupt to others more. To some, it seems as though they have been lax in their duties to the gods and the people, failing to provide all that is needed. Though growth has continued within the nation, some warning sides of dissent have begun to materialize.

The
Tau-Ren have grown in size as of late, thriving while their brethren to the north seem to stagnate. The population size continues to grow as Thunbloof becomes the second largest city in the Keralian Sea region, second only to Plen. Several levies have been returned to the fields, pleasing the farmer-folk, though this has brought about some concern in the higher classes of society. Some believe however, that they may well be appeased by the construction of the new Megalith Totems. Constructed out of newly acquired marble, the new efforts are to glorify the gods and the Tau-Ren way of life.
Tau-Ren Stat Changes

The people of
Waluka have mostly managed a quiet existence upon the Wakiki River, but some problems have emerged of late. Dissidents have been seeding anger among the Slaves and this has raised the concern of rebellion against the upper classes of society. The Lower Class has also been affected by the increasing dissent, and some of the nobility are concerned that a full blown rebellion could emerge if the issues are not resolved and the dissidents exiled.
