Avalonian ships continue to travel both East and West. A convoy reaches as far as Aspidis, and another reaches where the coastline to the East starts to trend north. The vast array of goods moving through Avalonia brings in plenty of revenue and knowledge. The initial building of the Avalonian library is expanded as it becomes clear that it will soon be full, and the growth of the population of Nazgar prompts the construction of another layer of fortifications outside the city to protect the people who will likely leave the more crowded areas - existing walls and towers, including the citadel of Nazgar, are made taller so that the walls become ever more daunting the farther in you go. Similar expansion is happening of Avalonia's island trading post.
Finding the soil and climate of Avalonia bad for growing many of the crops, especially fruits, that Avalonian traders have acquired, a stretch of land on the continental side of the strait connecting the Sea of Atensia with the Southern Ocean is settled to farm these crops. Local peoples are happy to lease the land out for a portion of the produce, but many Avalonians petition them to allow the construction of fortifications as a precautionary measure. The natives respond by ensuring the Avalonian farmers that they can handle any threats and will pose none, and do a little extra training of their army. The Avalonians are wary, but continue with their ventures.
