=== Treaty troubles with Mount September ===
During informal discussions of whether Wesbury should join the [[Augustan Federation]], Orinnari noticed certain gaps in policy, notably extradition, which was important to Orinnari given Wesbury's extremely small claimssize, being only ~300 square metres in size. Not wanting to force anthe institution[[Augustan Federation]] to change its charter however, Orinnari figured the best course of action would be standalone treaties with surrounding nations. [[The Commonwealth]], known for theirits lax extradition policy, agreed to an arrangement with Wesbury, however Orinnari was primarily focused on [[Mount September]] sincegiven the concerning fact of it wasbeing the spiritual successor to [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic)|Mount Augusta]], as well as being the largest and closest population centre; that if Wesbury's were to be raided, the raider would most likely either be from [[Mount September]] or otherwise need to be extradited from [[Mount September]], thus negotiations began on 16th March 2021. Negotiations deteriorated very quickly however whensince Wesbury was refused a private diplomacy channel, forcing negotiations to happen in public in [[Mount September]]'s "#foreign-office" channel, allowing [[AllenY]], an esteemed [[Mount September|Septembrian]], saidto say without official position that the proposed treaty was fundamentally and irreconcilably incompatible with [[Mount September]]'s constitution<ref>https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/wesbury/mts-negotiation-1/</ref>. Just over two weeks later on 4th April 2021, Orinnari tried a different tact, to take [[Mount September]]'s internal extradition process as a given, but to construct a holding cell on an island that [[Mount September]] would claim, allowing Wesbury to securely store pearls while it begins to fix any damage caused by the prisoner. However, the requested exemptions to derelictions laws that were okay'd by [[AllenY]] were subsequently denied by [[RedDevel]], [[Mount September]]'s newly appointed diplomat, stating that [[Mount September]] has no interest in a mutually beneficial agreement and that Wesbury should be thankful that [[Mount September]] is even entertaining claiming the island to begin with<ref>https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/wesbury/mts-negotiation-2/</ref>. Negotiations haven't continued since.
=== Returning to Southshire, ''really really really this time!'' ===
=== Relinquishing Ashelor ===
Orinnari had been the Lord Protector of [[Ashelor]] since 30th December 2020 when the Royal Prerogative was re-instated with a few minor changes and named as the Lord's Prerogative, hinting at a Cromwell-esque republic which was ''totally'' not a Monarchy. But [[Ashelor]] was growing increasingly inactive. On 3rd February 2021, Orinnari suspended the election cycle due to lack of interest. Later, on 17th May 2021, Orinnari suspended the need for citizens to register to vote and the need for proposals to be seconded. [[Ashelor]] became so inactive that [[Icenia (CivClassic)|Icenia]] effectively occupied and annexed Old Bloom, however this was instigated by Truckman, a [[Bloom|Bloomean]] and [[Ashelor]] citizen, so the only issue was the [[Icenia (CivClassic)|Icenia]] didn't consult with or inform [[Ashelor]]'s government. Wanting to move onto other projects, Orinnari passed on the position of Lord Protector to [[7misun]] on 5th July 2021.
=== Relinquishing Wesbury ===
Wesbury was somewhat abandoned after Orinnari returned to [[Southshire]] and restored [[Oakhurst]]. In August 2021, Orinnari dismantled the castle he had built in Wesbury, intending to transfer the territory to an interested party should they make themselves known. On 26th August 2021, [[Dr_Oracle]] approached Orinnari about Wesbury. The territory was sold to [[South Augusta]] on 4th September 2021.
