1183 Krill the Dragon Charmer visits the monastary The Refuge Deep, seemingly immune to the plague which had infested the outpost. He is of the Order of Krill, their leader, a group of mages from the northlands of the Dwarves. He visits his friend, a priest of the Refuge, Ragot Alexander. Abbot Brock, the head of the monastary came down with the plague while Krill was yet there. Krill heals him after Brock sells his soul to the devil. For protection from the disease, cursing their gods for allowing such a sickness that only evil could cure.

1189 Scinton the Wonderous researches spells to make cattle larger and hardier. Alexander's cattle are huge and tasty, fattening up quickly. Cattle ranching becomes a major cash industry in Alexander. The ACA (Alexander Cattle Association) is formed to keep the secrets of the cattle for Alexander only.

The rapidfire crossbow can be of two varieties: a handheld model that does d4+1 and a shoulder mounted model that does d8. A third, military version, is introduced as well, firing heavy bolts which do d12+2, have a range of 500 yards, and are mounted on a swivel mount ideal for trains and cart. They are much too large for a man to carry, though wheeled versions may be pushed by a man.

1419 -Armored car introduced. 4 men can fit into it, one of which is the driver. A rapidfire ballista is mounted to the front of it, which does d20 and has a range of 800 yards, complete with a scrying sight, usable by the everyday man.

He uses the Circle for advice as to what to do, as indicators of the will of the people. He gives more and more power to the Circle, but maintains veto power on all they do.
