Vriend Era

The Vriend Era is the current historical period, beginning in 1960 after the Middenvader Era. It covers the generation associated with De Vrienden and the period that developed around them. Later generations and events remain part of the Vriend Era unless a new era boundary is established.

De Vrienden formed in 1974 and developed into the five-member group completed in 1976. During the same period, the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen expanded outside Tanoa and remained a major political and military power until its collapse on 30 November 2024.

Background

The Middenvader Commissie met for a second time in 1959 in an attempt to settle the dispute between the two branches of the Schroeter family. The meeting failed, and Ferdinand Schroeter was found dead several days later. Schroeter Traktoren closed its factories and ceased operations in July. The two branches later signed a truce prohibiting the company from being re-established.
