Fortunately for the Chélembians, the Ivínians were too busy fighting each other to make any serious effort at conquest, and all of them benefited from the island's free port.

-Chélemby's first inhabitants were Járind peoples who arrived c.1600 BT and established a henge culture similar to that in surrounding kingdoms. Little now remains of that henge culture, as it's structures were recycled over the centuries, but the occasional standing stone can still be found.

+The predominant script in Hârbáal is Runic, although Lakíse is widely used. About 30% of the Hârbáalese are literate; this is a very high proportion, perhaps due to the simplicity of Runic, which is a portable script that can be written with a knife on a piece of wood. While couriers elsewhere bear boxes of scrolls, Hârbáalese messengers carry bundles of sticks.

-Hurisea is a tempting target, but this would bring Harbaal into conflict with at least two Shôrkýni greatclans, quite possibly with Shôrkýnè itself. She would also face opposition from jarenmarkers, from Lankor, and from the Huriseans themselves. This complex situation seems to preclude such a campaign, although the Elendys quietly support the efforts of clan Ledensen in Hurisea.

-A few brave souls favor a campaign again Shôrkýnè, specifically a campaign against Alagon. The Duke of Ensel has quietly suggested such a campaign, which would not only serve to keep the Harbaalese away from Hirisea, where the duke has his own ambitions, but also keep the rivaal Pelanbys of Alagon in check. The Harbaalese have naval superiority over the Shôrkýni, but their army would not likely survive long ashore, and any such move would encourage rebellion by the Pelanbys of Pandona.

-The Hârnic Isles are another sphere where Harbaalese power might be expanded. Orbaal is one possible target, especially since Alegar II is regarded as a weak and ineffective king. A possible complication is that Rogna, Menglana, and Seldenbaal all regard Orbaal as a colony.
