The Taldan General Coren of the Third Army of Exploration founds the city of Corentyn near the future site of the Arch of Aroden completing the conquest of southern Avistan.
Ulfen raiders in longships conduct hit-and-run attacks against the western coasts of Avistan, advancing as far as the region now known as Cheliax.
Construction is finished on the Arch of Aroden by the Taldan city of Corentyn. It connects the continents of Garund and Avistan and is dedicated to the god Aroden.
Cheliax is founded as a western frontier province of the Taldan Empire.
The Even-Tongued Conquest comes to an end, cementing Cheliax as an independent nation separate from Taldor.
The Chelaxian army lays siege to Absalom for the first time and, like all before, fail to breach the city walls. Undeterred, the army heads southwest, making gains in Garund, and takes control of the Arch of Aroden. This gives Cheliax unprecedented control over the Inner Sea region, as it controls access to it from the west. Cheliax holds the Arch to this day.
Under the leadership of King Haliad III, the Chelaxian Empire begins an extended period of expansion to the north. It starts by invading Molthune, although Varisia and Nidal will eventually fall as well in the conflict that becomes known as the Everwar.
Halleck IV, Emperor of Cheliax, commands Field Marshal Jakthion Korvosa to found a colony in the as-yet untamed wilds of Varisia. Admiral Mercatio Kiameleu, longtime rival of Korvosa's, asks and receives a similar charter.
Daidian Ruel and his group of former soldiers and friends become very effective in hunting down Path of Grace cultists in the Chelish capital of Westcrown, but the cult's influence within the city results in many being quickly released from custody. In response, Ruel and his group resort to vigilante justice and more extreme methods. Widely praised by average citizens, they earn the wrath of the Westcrown Dottari and Ruel is arrested in Sarenith. Freed by his followers, Ruel flees the city only to return to plead his case before King Gaspodar in an impassioned speech. The king recognizes the necessity of setting the city to order before the prophesied coming of Aroden, and pardons Ruel before commissioning him to establish a new knightly order. Ruel accepts the king's commission, but refuses to allow consecration by the church of Aroden. The faithful of Aroden denounce his order and name them the "Hellknights", and the order's legacy would later be revived as the Order of the Rack.
