'''[[History of Elwynn#The Communist Revolution|The Communist Revolution in Elwynn]]''', also known as the '''Red Orchid Revolution''', marked a moment of abrupt rupture in [[History of Elwynn|Elwynnese History]] when the office of Prince, which had endured since the days of Elwynnese Independence was overthrown in a palace coup orchestrated by [[Ric Lyon|Aasmund Vigeland]]. As Vigeland was already [[Steward of Elwynn]] this represents one of the more notable instances in Elwynnese history of a self-coup in which Vigeland, despite having come to power through legal means, dissolved the Senate and unlawfully assumed extraordinary powers, not granted under normal circumstances. Other measures taken included annulling the nation's constitution and suspending the rule of law.

'''[[Operation Tymarian Sun]]''' was a pair of nuclear weapons tests conducted by the [[Imperial Republic]] of [[Shireroth]] at [[Ura'Bos]] in early 1641. They were the first Shirerithian nuclear weapons tests in modern times and the first non-Jingdaoese nuclear detonations since the Euran Holocaust in 1598 AN. The purpose of the tests was to investigate the effect of nuclear weapons on warships, and also to deter the population of dragons settled on Ura'Bos by [[Kaiser Raynor XII]] from spreading beyond the island that was set aside for their wildlife reserve.
  
After disposing of the nominal Prince, [[Daniel Simrani-Kalirion]], Vigeland declared his affiliation to the EWP and took on the title of  Chairman of the Presidium of the Standing Committee of the Supreme Council of the Democratic People's Republic of Elwynn. In so doing he became the Forty-Eighth [[Rulers of Elwynn|Ruler of Elwynn]].
 
 
Chairman Vigeland was eventually deposed in a counter-revolution led by the insane Tokaray al-Osman, who declined to revive the Coordinated State and thus left the way clear for a Kalirion restoration under Prince [[Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion]] and his Steward [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson]], the consequences of which are still with us today.

Iron Company coat of arms

The Iron Company (in Goldshire: Royal Iron Company) is a trading company and financial institution founded in 1638 AN (6229 ASC) by Ludovic Verion and Joachim Brunswick in Goldshire. The Iron Company is active in many different economic brances, from insurance and banking to trade missions. The Iron Company is chartered by the Lordship of Blackstone.

After Ludovic Verion, heir to the House of Verion, finished his education at Lewis College in Cimmeria, he moved to Goldshire. Under the reign of Queen Noor bint Daniyal, Goldshire had experienced a period of economic growth. Especially the Golshire mines were more productive than ever. Verion seized the opportunity and started the Iron Company by selling insurance to miners and mine owners. This proved a popular and profitable investment, and the Iron Company became a household name.

Not long after, Joachim Brunswick, heir to the Brunswick family that had made a vast amount of money in industry in the Syrelwynn valley, contacted Verion. The Brunswick run JM Group had experienced economic difficulty. The two agreed that the banking and industry branches of the JM Group would be incorporated into the Iron Company. Brunswick subsequently became a governor in the Iron Company.
