The Purge ends with the death of the Emperor and the succession by his son.

An invasion undertaken by the Bright Ministry's Inquisitor Dominum was led on the far eastern shores of the country of Trandrafia. Though it was ultimately less of a success than desired, the Empire still hold a colony port on the shores and participate in skirmishes against Trandrafian military to hold what land they have been able to claim.

A form of drow construction attempting to bind part of the souls of the dwarves they imprisoned within humanoid construct forms is found within Khaghammer. Several are beyond help and put down, others are integrated hesitantly into society. All research found of this process is ordered to be destroyed...

Death of Emperor Magnar the Meek by sudden sickness, Emperor of Aestara.

Imperial assassination attempt on Dracian leadership is thwarted, but leads to the death of Drake Cormund, Umbral of Dracia and Headmaster of the Ruby Atheneum, and the later discovered disappearance of the Ventaer Regis Goles, Ambassador of Dracia, leaving two empty seats within the Hexad Assembly.   In retalliation, a few days later, a Dracian strike force attacks the Imperial blockade. Though ultimately a victory, explosives on the ships caused many casualties.

The Champions of the Norns succeed at their quest, a cult of the Void is thwarted and the Long Winter breaks.

The Ministry office in Havencrest is attacked by unknown terrorists. A few reguli survive, but the fire spreads to nearby buildings and houses before it is quelled.

Aestara officially declares war on the rebelling region of Yotenar.
With this declaration came the next and greatest wave of religious and legislative edicts. Most gods of the Imperial Pantheon were declared either illegal to worship or changed in their importance and station among the state religion. This edict was supported by the highest priests in Aestara and began the most imposing religious reforms, causing many to speak out against the edicts.

With the encouragement of their new God-Emperor, the Aestaran forces in Vanheim gather to assault the city of Vanheim. With many of the Dracian militants ordered to return to Dracia, the city is overrun and taken from its new orcish rulers, forcing their retreat into the nearby mountains and forests. Tellurian Meghan Veres was killed by an inquisitor defending a Dracian airship while General Zyfe-Nin was gravely wounded before retreating.
God-Emperor Sigmund joins his army in Vanheim shortly after their victory and marches with them to sack the city of Faer Orthad. After a brief seige and grueling battle, the city of Faer Orthad was smote from the face of the land by the divine power of the God-Emperor as the mages attempted to escape.

After a year of setting up new manufacturing facilities, training more workers, manufacturing powderarms, and training a special company of soldiers, the Aestarans field their first powderarm company, the Storm Cannon Company.
