Erinamese forces choke out the last of the Bēlänese forces, capture Bētanca, and force Bēlänia's surrender. The king and his court are paraded around Bētanca and Erinaum.
As the war has come to an end, the clouds clear (not speaking of the Galaumian storms). The war has left Erinaum's army with fewer soldiers, though most of these people with incredible experience. Erinaum annexes Zēnia and Bēlänia. Within a few years of capture, Bēlänia's riots have been calmed to a considerable degree.
Ivēxür Erin VX issues the "Edict of United Ezbátu". This document states that all currencies in Ezbátu uniting under Erinaum be replaced by Erinamese forms of currency. It also states that Erinamese become the primary language. Insurgency or disobedience will force Erinaum to make the unruly into civil servants for a minimum period of 10 years. This is to the intention of spreading infrastructure to other parts of Erinaum. The road network is to expand to all united peoples under the gold crescent.
With this annexation, Tsekēnaum fears that Erinaum intends to annex it with military force, and it bolsters up its military of 5,000 to 8,000. Erinamese ambassadors are sent saying that under the edict, they will be given the option to negotiate peacefully, and that no harm and many benefits will come to the region including, but not limited to roads, precious metals, court positions, etc.
The Erinamese military begins training exercises to train new recruits and regulars. Successes of the crossbow in Bētanca result in it being spread through the archery divisions more often. Ways to improve it are now underway with Captain Nåvinie, head of the archery division.
