Juha,
 
I must take issue with the events for the Shanari.  They are a bit out of date.
 
Firstly, the seeresses are all dead, or living in Mir.  Secondly, most of the Shanari have been uniting for 15 years or so under a theocratic federation known as the Commonwealth of the Shanariyya, whose new religion arose at the end of the Sinari wars and had been playing a major civilising role on the nomadic tribes.  A holy book, standardised law, a written script, new trade routes, a standing army, even a currency.
 
As for Kaeir, very few of the Major Houses actually pre-date the Taltheran conquest, so the question of them having "pirate blood" is actually quite improbable.  As for smuggling, which professional merchant does not?

Hi, this message opens year 1439. Again, action submission in two weeks,
and the next year begins just before Christmas.

Here are the events, and Vision number 3.

*Onagir [-6]:* The Scepter is stolen, and the King of the Wood disappears
with it. This happens at a bad time for the Onagir, as the Kings successor
is not fit to take up his duty (being 3 years old).

*Shanari [-5]:* A war breaks out between the eastern and western tribes.
For a long time, the tensions have been growing. Finally, the peace is
broken by a sudden attack on the Seeresses. Each side blaims the other
on the attack.

*Exquaestio [-3]:* Someone tries to steal the Book of Travels, killing
two andaran, and seriously wounding one. The theft fails, but the thief
escapes.

*Kaeir [-3]:* The representatives of Kaeir (Major Houses) in Tirrot,
Cedonia, are found guilty of illlegal activities (e.g. smugling), and
are expelled. While their actions were clearly for their own personal
benefit, this does not give a very good impression of the Kaeir Republic.
"The old pirate blood shows through..."
