This is a list of historical events that happened on Shartak during 2009.

January

• The new constitution of the Peninsular Federation, a political union of Derby and Port Breton superseding the slowly disintegrating Eastern Federation, was drafted by Baron Surcouf. The concept of a new ruling power in Derby was enthusiastically received by its citizens.

• The Greater Shartak Unification Coalition maintained its siege of Wiksik. An Island Alliance was proposed by the Kingdom of Skulls for the purposes of stopping bloodshed across Shartak including the attack on Wiksik, and resolving the competing claims to the ruins north of Durham known Fort Creedy and Great Southall. Negotiations over the Alliance treaty also served as a vehicle for the GSUC's claim to the ruins known as Chastity or The Pirate's Rest near the shipwreck. The Alliance was immediately rejected by the Pirate High Command and the Rakmogaki Collective. The treaty itself fell apart as neither side wished to give an inch.

• A small, loose and drunken coalition of pirates led by the Pirate High Command attacked Dalpok.

• The Rakmogaki Collective learn that one of their fabled treasures, the Obsidian Spear was carried away by pirates. The Collective joined forces with the Bone Gnawers to raid the shipwreck in search of the treasure. After a few weeks, the Pirate High Command attempts to intervene, abandoning their raid on Dalpok, but only fall to the overwhelming cannibal horde.

• The spirits of the ancestors reveal the location of their Sacred Space within the summit of Mt. Shartak, in response to the escalating violence among the island's inhabitants.

February

• A young ambitious cannibal known as Nihilo finds the Obsidian Spear. The cannibals quickly depart from the shipwreck after finding the treasure.
