Great Warring Island

Great Warring Island is the largest island of the Warring Islands. Its main settlement is Hempton Bay. Hemptonwic is another important settlement. In 1699, the Sea-Reavers occupied the island following the collapse of Nova England during the Warring Islands Conflict. Ordered by the Government of Hurmu to incorporate the island into a District of the Warring Islands united with East Barrow Island, the Minister for the District of East Barrow Island, Jamshid-e Osman, and the Commissioner of the Peace, Hans Danielsen, recognised the folly of attempting an act so far beyond the means of the Hurmu Peace Corps detachment in the region. Instead of rejecting the directive, Jamshid travelled to Chryse and presented himself to the Congress assembled there. Having secured an audience with the city's Archon, Ayesha al-Osman, in her residence on the pleasure island of Botha, he was able to secure a significant loan on generous terms in return for the bestowal of his favour. With this consideration, in the form of a letter of credit from the Congress addressed to the Society for Benevolent Investment, Jamshid was able to purchase the services of the reaver-bands established on the island through a conference held in the town of Hemptonwic on 13.III.1699 AN.
