is built up into a strong and efficiently organised city by Ikus, his
army, and his council of ministers |

Establishment of the Trinsic "Council
of Honour" led by Mentazm which claims to lead the citizenry of
Trinsic. The relationship between Duchy and Council is uneasy but after

UO Fourth Anniversary
A faction of the Council led by Mentazm opens itself to corruption by

Council, they proclaim their treachery openly by murdering the
representatives of the Duchy and the other members of the Council
present. The Council collapses leaving the Duke as the unchallenged
ruler of Trinsic. Mentazm and his followers proclaim themselves the
Overlords of Trinsic, a claim recognised by no-one except themselves

Throughout the year Count Kamchack constantly challenges the authority
of Duke Irvyn. By the middle of the year there is a state approaching
civil war between the Duchy and the Trinsic Paladins of Honour. The
final straw comes when the Count marries Tarenessa despite the Duke's
refusal to sanction the wedding, and then insists on going to Minoc
although Baron Robert Dart has banned him from the town. The Duke hands
the matter over to the Regent. The Count resigns and leaves Trinsic
with a number of the Paladins following him |

is destroyed but the Knights Templar honour their alliance and drive
out the Drow and their henchmen |

Trinsic and brings the Trinsic Paladins of Honour into full alliance

some bandits |

UO Sixth Anniversary
Much of
the year is taken up with preparing for and holding a great celebration
to honour and remember all those who fought in the Minax wars when
Trinsic was taken over by the army of undead. However before the
celebrations begin, Orcs begin attacking Moonglow and ironically it
appears that they are working for Minax. Some Trinsicians go to help
Moonglow fight off the invaders.
The Minax Memorial Festival is a great success. Many veterans and
present day soldiers from all over Britannia, loyalist and non-loyalist
alike, attend the opening day parade, showing an unprecedented unity.
They are greeted jointly by Irvyn and Lord Helrick representing Lord
British.
