In the years following Jephdaphro's disappearance, power consolidated around Lord Mayor Ulysses. The 901st year of Jephdaphro's reign saw great change in Stone Bay. The kingdom opened its ports to the rest of [[Olvunter]]. As a result, immigration to Kara skyrocketed, with over a thousand people coming and going to the islands. Hundreds of wanderers settled in Kara, adopting Baymen traditions or synthesising them with their foreign cultures. The Kingdom of Stone Bay became a melting pot of cultures, resulting in the formation of institutions like the [[Church of the Deep]] and the [[Stendahl|Duchy of Stendahl]]. | In the years following Jephdaphro's disappearance, power consolidated around Lord Mayor Ulysses.

The former Court Mage revealed himself as a lich, and was consorting with the dark dragon [[Valynclex]] for power and control. Conflict erupted between Arimaex and Kara as a whole. The [[Battle of the Eternum Glades]] concluded this conflict, resulting in seventeen dead Karans, the neutralisation of Valynclex, and the death of Arimaex. | ||
Arimaex's defeat did not spell the end of conflict during the regency era. [[Dragone Collins]], a [[Nieseatian]] diplomat, was assassinated on Karan soil. This brought the ire of [[Macadier Maldore]], archmage and Archon of Nieseat, who levied threats and intimidations towards Stone Bay. Mountbatten defused the political tension by signing a non-aggression pact with Archon Macadier. For ten years, there was peace in Stone Bay. | Arimaex's defeat did not spell the end of conflict during the regency era.

Nieseat's occupation of Stone Bay lasted for one month. During this time, Macadier Maldore labelled it the "Colony of Orlan", and installed the then-Nieseatian loyalist Elmes Fin as its governor. Without its key leaders, what was left of Stone Bay's government was folded into Nieseat's three powers: the [[Ordenza]], the [[Halcyon Guild]], and the [[Old Blood]]. Only the Church of the Deep, led by Synarch [[Fafnir Deepcreek]], provided hidden sanctuary to Baymen loyalists. | Nieseat's occupation of Stone Bay lasted for one month.
