Political event
With the High Thane's continued absence from governance and the emerging Slythernak threat, Lord Krondar of Port Kolin formally announces she is assuming full administrative authority over Port Kolin and will coordinate Bretawald's national functions "in the High Thane's name." While framed as temporary necessity, this creates a de facto dual power structure. Port Argen's leadership objects but offers no alternative, as Grimirsson continues to focus on naval exploration.
