===== Early Island Disputes =====

Although not originally surveyed in the 'initial claims map of Pavia', the people of Pavia soon discovered two islands directly to the west, just 150m from the mainland's shoreline. The then-Crown Prince, BritishWanderer I, immediately led an expedition to these isles, consisting of himself and [[Hitobashuru]] of the Semiography Bureau, hoping to claim the islands before another party did so. This matter was viewed as of importance as the isles themselves sit in direct line of sight to the town hall and planned city of Pavia, and any construction there was sure to impact the view and nature of the western coastline. Signs claiming the land were quickly erected across both islands, however their fears of another claimant were realised upon the discovery of a small hovel in a cave on the larger isle.

On the 6th of June, SeniorGryphon communicated that he was abandoning the island and moving to the - , - quadrant. As a result of this information, the Pavian government at the behest of BritishWanderer led another expedition to these islands, to plant three flags and more signage to reinforce Pavia's claim to the islands. Upon their arrival, they found numerous signs stating that the islands are haunted, these signs coupled with the dilapidated state of the lighthouse and surrounding terrain earned the larger island the moniker of 'Quiet Isle' for its eerie feeling.

The Lucassio Islands are the largest and closest set of islands to the Pavian mainland, with the island chain itself spanning nearly 500 blocks north to south. These islands are numerous and spread out over a large sea-area, making patrolling and effectively snitching a challenge, with the island chain becoming a security issue almost immediately after their claiming.

On the 19th of November, Pavia hosted its first '[[Farley wars|Farley War]]' an series of sportive war games, first done on [[Civcraft 2.0]], named after an ancient player of [[Farley50]]. The Pavian farley war was a success, with over 20 people in attendance the competitors enacted multiple team-based fights in iron armour equipped with stone swords.

The introduction of the refugees into the Pavian community arguably marked the beginning of globalisation of the Principality. A majority of the citizens, and the bulk of residents within the City were now either dual citizens or refugees. These citizens bought with them their culture, wealth and activity which boosted Pavia to heights previously unseen, refugee labour was instrumental in a number of construction projects and assistance in excavating defensive infrastructure and was of a general great benefit to Pavia.

Creepion I passed away on December 3rd, with his cause of death being disclosed as "poisoning by an unknown source”. Creepion enjoyed the joint-longest reign of any Crown Prince up to this point with a reign length of 7 weeks. He was remarked as 'The Diligent' for his economic reforms and conservative policies in which he enacted effectively and efficiently, reorganising the entire economy of the principality. House Von Thusis redefined the powers that the Crown Prince maintained over the Pavian economy, and continued to centralise the nation.

With the death of Creepion I, and no deemed successor in place, the Privy Council would elect Gobblin II as a stable and trusted candidate to take ahold of the Pavian mantle. The immediate issues of Gobblin's reign was that of the Finite War and its increasing potential of consequences for the Pavian state.

With the situation having been stagnant for a month at this point, and the leader of the Temporal Isles held by an officially non-participatory party in Icenia, and later [[Arsenio Pact]], the war officially concluded on December 11th, 2022 and a ceasefire between Temporal Isles and Arnen was called.

After PhysicsGamer's release in an agreement which did not involve Arnen, dredd_kiji and ErrorL chased PhysicsGamer, attacking and killing him in Pavia. Following diplomatic pressure by Icenia and others, the pearl was released, but a war declaration by Pavia, Imperial Federation, the remainder of the [[Elysian Pact]], Temporal Isles, and Valyria spelled the destruction of Arnen in the [[Four Hour War]]. Kallos annexed Arnen's territories after dredd and Docker were pearled the next day, and dredd_kiji and DockerImage were sentenced to 2 months pearl time and reparations for damages both to PhysicsGamer during the initial killing in Pavia and to other parties involved.
