The long game

Revolution

It began with an Orc Chieftan and a Human Chieftan forming a bond and subsequent alliance. Others soon joined, thus began the great Erayax revolution, completely restructuring their political establishment (as loose as it is) and, particularly their military structures.
  For the first time in their history, espionage, for want of a better description became a serious arm of Erayax operations.
  This would slowly build from scratch starting in 7 AE. By 198 AE and possibly despite several leadership changes the Erayax boasted a serious and effective network throughout the then Kingdom of Geldheim. Always looking to undermine, disrupt, delay or destroy. So skilful were they that some major events in the early 200s were thought to be either unlucky or poor management without a thought for interference. 198 AE is regarded as the year they commenced their first campaigns of civil unrest within the Kingdom of Geldheim.
