- War: Barony of Makar against Norland
The Barony of Makar was the agressor as far as I know. Norland's armies pushed them back, however, taking Egret's Rock, Uforth, Makar, Jerkel and Yule, before former BoM region Lamia defected to Eston and before Upper Tell was handed over to Eston, thus cutting Norland off from the Barony. Barony was promised to get the two regions back from Eston after the peace treaty, but Eston did not cooperate. This triggered the Barony of Makar - Norland alliance later on.

- Falasan - Tara war
Norland sends armies to help defend Falasan's territories. This marked the beginning of Tara's decline.
- Campaign against Tuchanon III
The first Eastern Alliance united front campaign against Tuchanon III, which was based in Tucha. Norland did not participate in the second one that eventually destroyed the realm.

- War: Norland and Barony of Makar against Eston
Veeery long story. The agressor was Norland, who had enough of the treaty that Eston had them sign after a war that Norland lost ages ago. Barony of Makar joined Norland in the hope of getting former regions from Eston and Norland back. After a couple of Eston defeats Talerium and Darka were drawn into the conflict on Eston's side. Darka pulled out later and the vikings asked for help from Minas Ithil. Both Talerium and Minas Ithil pulled out before the war was officially over. The event that triggered the peace treaty was the secession of Massilion in Eston (led by former leaders of Eston who wanted the continuation of the war they started).
Eston lost Upper Tell, Lamia and Fiddleford to Barony of Makar, Ashmoor, Moramroth, Belegrond and Barad Riel to Norland (latter two were handed over as a result of the peace treaty), Amdor, Amriel and
Elost to Minas Ithil. What Eston gained was better relations with Norland and BoM, due to the change of leaders and attitude in their realm. Norland handed over Yule, Jerkel and former BoM capital Makar to the Barony for their dedication in the war. Uforth was also to be handed over, but Sordnaz (dictator of BoM) decided to let Norland keep it as a symbol of good-will on the part of the Barony.

- Tournament in Brackhead (and also in jousting and swordfighting ^_^)
With the participation of 250 troopleaders Norland hosted her first tournament ever. People from all over the continent started arriving soon after the competition was announced. With the exception of Alexandra there wasn't one person who didn't get drunk. The main program of the day was usually to drink enough to remain drunk. Some claim they'd sobered up by the time the swordfighting and jousting started, but we have to wait and see the drug-test results.
The winner of the swordfighting competition was Malfix from Abington, Diruo of Minas Ithil being the runner-up. The most successful viking was Simone from the Barony of Makar, who beat Adrick, the best swordfighter of Norland in the quarter-finals, only to be beaten later in the semi-final.
The main event (jousting competition) was won by DrSeptre of the Barony, with Travis from Eston as his final opponent. The viking that got furthest was obviously DrSeptre, while the most successful Norlander was Palthos, who made it to the semi-final.
