• The Andoran Admiral Genise Ratorian begins offering Writs of Course to sailors in the city of Augustana, and encourages them to attack Taldan merchant ships. This lays the groundwork for the future establishment of the Gray Corsairs.

4079 AR in conflicts

• The armies of Qadira, consisting of more than 40,000 Qadiran and Keleshite soldiers, invade southern Taldor, beginning the 524 year-long war between the two countries known as the Grand Campaign.✝ The Qadirans record the successes of this conflict as the Ghevran Victories.
  • The Taldan city of Zimar falls to Qadira, its militaristic citizenry enslaved to prevent rebellion.
  • Qadiran scholar Asea Imbandi preserves hundreds of books threatened with destruction in the sacking of Zimar, including the Necronomicon. Upon returning to Katheer she reads the book and then dies of suicide. Her notes warn of the book's dangers, and it is stored behind protective wards at the Mysterium.
• The Jadwiga Harcatha (the descendants of Queen Harcatha, the former ruler of Irrisen) emerge from the Witchcaves and in a fit of insanity, begin attacking the settlements of Hoarwood. Karina, the current queen of Irrisen, sends her son, General Chernim Karina, to put down the crazed Jadwiga, and seals the Witchcaves.
