+//Notes//:
+After the defeat of the [[Dark Mage]] on January 8, 1105, Lord [[Norwood]], wielder
+of [[Kelva]], the sword of command, and originally a captain of Spindrift's
+ranger patrols, returned to [[Lendore]] and declared himself ruler until a
+suitable king could be found.  When he managed to unmask the new king, [[Uith]],
+as a half-orc hiding behind an illusion, he was able to sieze power quite
+easily.
+However, by May, he was forced to relinquish control over the rebellious
+islands [[Midore]] and [[Aldore]] to avoid a bloody conflict.  By September, the
+violence had been brought under control and the peoples of [[Lendore]] cheered
+[[Norwood]] as he accepted the crown of [[Lendore]] Island.
+[[Norwood]] appointed governors to rule [[Midore]] and [[Aldore]], and those men still
+hold power (though, at times, they serve at the pleasure of the old ruling
+families).  The massive wars on the Main Continent in the 1090's, and the
+unrest and chaos on the islands in the last several years have served the
+cause of peace quite well.  However, the fear of war has subsided since
+[[Norwood]] was crowned -- and the old rulers are beginning to demand more and
+more power.
+With the change in magic in early 1108, a new element of danger has been
+introduced.  While [[Norwood]]'s sword, [[Kelva]], appears to remain as powerful as
+before, he uses it so infrequently that rumors are beginning to spread.
+Also, wizards who once supplied the power base for certain wealthy families
+have now suddenly gone impotent.
