Erinaum begins to look to its Northwestern Frontier, and offers the heavily-Erinamese-influenced zone to become vassal states. The inner regions agree happily, but the outer regions will agree only if the regions receive better access to Erinaum's trade network. To this, Erinaum agrees, and construction begins on a large trade network, that if Avalonian agrees, Avalonian can also be connected to it, so long as they build the roads in their territory and in the wilderness in between.
The northern territories are annexed.
