Eleint, 1360—With virtual unknowns running the day-to-day activities of the Protectorate, the group falls into social and financial decline. Napftor and Vantas vow to put their personal lives on hold until the Protectorate is stable again
Marpenoth 17, 1360—The gnome Stutts finishes construction on a new wreckboat. A spelljamming helm is bought from a hippopotamus headed man in Silverymoon and installed. Exploration across the Realms begins again after Napftor instructs six members on the helm’s operation

Kythorn, 1361—The Elaziim brothers infuse the Protectorate with Lathanderite beliefs to keep it from stagnating in Waterdeep’s relatively calm atmosphere
-Napftor invites anyone to join the group who believes in helping others. The ranks quickly swell and the Elaziim brothers taught what they know best--the basic precepts of Lathander: strive always to aid, foster hope, new ideas, and new prosperity for all mankind. The brothers seldom speak Lathander’s name, for they know that even though the recruits are not active worshippers, they would still be doing the faith’s good work. Those recruits that can’t be housed at the villa are shipped with permission to nearby Lathanderite strongholds for training in simple and martial weapons and in “Protectorate doctrine”
Alturiak 6, 1367—Captain Haim dies of natural causes
Mirtul 3, 1369—3 more wreckboats provide easy transport to the growing ranks of the Protectorate. While the Elaziim brothers remain at the head of the group, they are rarely seen at its gatherings. The spelljammer activity attracts the attention of a spacefaring race known as the Arcane. It is on this date that the Elaziims are approached about buying a flying fortress for their organization. The Arcane are distributors of such structures and the Protectorate’s heavy use of spelljammers makes it a prime candidate
Mirtul 6, 1369—Napftor and Vantas order the sale of nearly every non-land asset the Protectorate owns to purchase the Arcane’s fortress. The new headquarters for the group is constructed by gnomes, dwarves, humans, and some other races not recognized
Mirtul 17, 1369—Construction of the fortress completed over a mile over Waterdeep
Mirtul 18, 1369—All Protectorate members in the North are gathered to the fortress for the dedication ceremony. The Elaziims shatter a bottle of elven feywine (much to the chagrin of all elves present) and name the place “Stonecloud.”
-Leftover moneys are used to purchase a few wreckboats and 4 larger spelljammers from the Arcane before they depart
Kythorn to Marpenoth, 1369—Word of Stonecloud and the Protectorate’s rebirth as an adventuring power cause many hopefuls to sign onto the group. Membership swells to well over 1,000 persons of varying ages and races. Stonecloud itself is divided into sections, focusing the present talents. These sections are designated the “clerical” wing, “arcane” wing, “physical arts” wing and the “guest” wing
Uktar, 1369—Protectorate pins are provided to all members, but only the upper echelons possess the magical versions worn by the Protectorate Prime (as the founding members were called)
Nightal 12-26, 1369—The villa’s upper floors are converted into one large “danger room” and is opened for a fee to the public to use. Quarters are moved into the basement
Hammer 19, 1370—First major attack on Stonecloud is successfully repelled. A cabal of low-level Red Wizards on dragonback attempt to enter the fortress to discover its secrets. A combination of spelljammers and innate defensive magics built into Stonecloud defeat and kill most of the attack force
Tarsakh, 1370 to Eleint, 1371—Red Wizard mercantile expansion is watched closely by the Protectorate. They match the evil wizards’ movements by erecting counterparts close to the wizards’ enclaves (with permission of the local rulers)
Nightal 20, 1371—A multi-tribe cloud giant celebration weakens the area around the entombed Protectorate Prime. The giants soon find the people and through strength of body and clerical magic, the original Protectorate and the Midnight Angel are freed this night
Nightal 23, 1371—The Protectorate Prime arrives at Stonecloud after being directed by the villa’s staff. Their identities are magically verified and a celebration is planned
Hammer 1, 1371—In Waterdeep, both the new year and the missing Protectorate members are welcomed with song and dance. The founding members reacquaint themselves with old(-er) friends such as Open Lord Piergeiron, Delrick Jhomes, Ebony, and the grown-up members of what was once the Junior Protectorate. Waterdavians who remember these founders hail their return as a sign of good fortune for the coming year
