However, as the wars raged on and on, certain things became apparent. In terms of external affairs, their once faithful allies against the Greentide were not as chivalrous as Lothane had initially thought. Many of the orders had relocated their bases in Corintari-liberated land. Attempts to further strengthen the pact of Corintar and the Stalwarts showed the faults of the alliance. Internally, though Bluetusk had brought as much unity to his company as he could, the cracks were beginning to show. Each battle saw the deaths of hundreds, sometimes even thousands of men - sure, there were always enough willing locals to replenish the ranks, but it was simply not the same. How many of his troops have even seen Corin, much more fight under her like he once did? He knew not even a single name among them.
And thus, Lothane Bluetusk decided to do what no one had expected - to retire.
In his place came Captain Anca sil Canneinn, chosen to lead the company for his renown as a brilliant strategist, one of the best in Escann. As such, it was expected that he would continue Bluetusk's policy of simply liberating villages and driving monsters away. Maybe he'd even remind the fellow adventurer warbands to not step on foreign land? Alas, Anca had a far bigger picture in mind. He realised that, in order to face future threats, something bigger must come of Corintar.
Thus, he started his reign by investing all resources into administration and solidifying the company's rule, to prevent further incursions of the other adventurers into their lands. At first, these reforms seemed to go nowhere. Their rivals were quicker to settle down, the orcs were still terrorising much of Escann, and the Corintaris sat doing seemingly nothing. This caused much strife among their ranks, yet the Captain pushed forward with his reforms, and by Tearfall of 1464, nearly every single city, town, village and home the Corintaris liberated had signed a 'treaty of protection' with the company.
