 In which Badger...

• Joins the court of King Ericall of Alphatia to get a seat at the table of the Empire's colonizing efforts
• Participates in a tournament to determine the new lords of the colonies and the King's court, and gets 4th place, with the top 6 becoming the King's court - alongside the Bear tribe shaman, Orik the lazy warrior, Longtooth the cunning thief, Rutgr Dag the wild northland warrior, and Max the 1st the careful warrior.
• Splits land claims with the others in the new colony, maintaining his keep and getting claim on untamed land surrounding it, all whilst scheming ways to retain more land and maintain his independence from the King's onerous terms.
• Joins a journey in the Lost Coast, traveling south to a sea village and back again, adopting a riding horse Joe II.
• Travels to the strange island over the seas via boat called Neverland.
• Explores the Neverland southwestern peninsula, discovering some strange melodic chimes, a weeping ghost, a strange broken lich ward, and some mermaids whom he unsuccessfully tries to bribe and is forced to flee from.
• Continues to explore a strange, litter covered beach in the south of Neverland, taking refuge under a flipped rowboat as a massive thunderstorm ravages the beach, sees crabs come into circle of twelve with the strange chimes, discovers the nest of a blue billed pelican, wakes up at night to some flying biting shoals and peaceful walking jellyfish, watches as the flying shoals devour the mother and father blue billed pelicans within a short time before turning to the pelican chick, manages to burn the flying shoals and save the pelican chick.
• Takes the blue billed pelican chick, which he names Peli, and travels back to his boat and sails back to the keep.
• Has the coal mines around his keep run dry one month, and the next month makes a trade deal with Varisia to solve the coal shortage resulting in high profits and even a surplus, with a patriotic population of the keep and lots of population growth.
• Celebrates his 30th birthday at his keep with his new pelican chick Peli and riding horse Joe II.
