Summer 937 AAL: Winds of War
It is now Summer. Three months after the end of the Iron Queen's reign, the Kingdom of Windheath is awakening after nearly thirty dark years under the Queen's rule. Albert Conricht, First of His Name, now rules unchallenged over the nation. His vassals all agree on one thing: the kingdom must expand its border and use its formidable strength to get more lands from its neighbors. Massive recruitment of troops has started all across the kingdom, and the intrigue of the court has lead many powerful nobles to watch the west with greedy eyes. It seems that the reign of Albert is doomed to be marked by war very early on.
What happened this season:
-Albert Conricht takes the crown of Windheath, the richest kingdom of the north.
-His brother, Richard Conricht, is named Marshal. Renart Lionel and Theor Blackshield are made generals.
-Edgar of Arborvent is named treasurer of the crown.
-The Duc of Dechire receives the duty of admiral.
-The Count Whitehaven is murdered. His daughter becomes the Prince's unofficial bride.
-Duc Edgar makes alliance in the west, along the border of Arendalis. The nobles who agree to give him their daughters for marriage also wish to join the kingdom, if the King and the Duc can protect them from the vengeful attack that would follow from Arendalis as soon as they declared independence. Two of these nobles agree to become Edgar's vassals.
-Renart is made Richard's vassal in an effort to make the army stronger and create a larger power base loyal to the king. The other general, Theor, refuses Richard's offer.
-The captain of the Northwatch Rangers, a man called Trent, angers Edgar and Richard - the two most powerful men in the kingdom after the king. He is sent troll hunting, which is a means to say he is sent in exile and not expected to come back.
-Fust of Tumblestone attempts to marry the young heir to a titular title in order to get his nobility back.
-A plague, somewhat virulent, spreads to the kingdom. It is seen near Dechire and the Crown.
-Ursa Emanhild, Blauritter and Duc of Spirituaser, starts plotting against other nobles in an effort to get more lands to the king.
-I think that's it.
[2] The Grey Death continues to spread throughout the kingdom. It is now seen in the lands of Theor Blackshield, north of the Crown. Unrest rises throughout the commoners, who fear that they will be forced to act on their own against this new threat.
