You agree to the counter-proposal.
Therefore, it is written, that Augas province shall deliver its revenues to Parsia for next ten years, and then Augas shall become part of Luathbas.
You and Tata write down this and extra copy, both scrolls having the same treaty in the writing of the west and the writing of the east below it. They you sign it; you by pressing your signet into molten wax, Parsian Grand Lord by pushing a painted stone square seal against the scrolls.
You are then let to return to Abur while trumpets around you muster the Parsians to begin preparations to leave. You then return to the fortress, where the garrison and commanders explode in cheers, as the war was over. Amongst the cheers, is the new nickname of yours, bestowed upon you by the rejoicing soldiers - "The Guardian".
Now was time to prepare to return home!
817 AD, Late Autumn
As you are about to leave the Abur Fortress, another messenger arrives from Luathbas.
Apparently, things aren't that fortunate back home!
The dwarves, who came to visit the tomb, went back to the Capital to complain that the ancient protective spells were purified, and that allowed some adventurers or other grave-diggers to plunder the tomb. As the Treasury couldn't pay the dwarves the money they requested, they 'cast a curse' and left.
Also, due to lack of revenues from war-ravaged Augas, the treasury is mostly empty, and the civilian population, riled up about this - and the army drafting earlier this year - is causing lots of trouble.
You decide to return to the capital immediatelly.
Congratulations! Houlandin II completed his first military campaign.
He will return home now and the normal flow of events will be resumed.
817 AD, Winter
Queen Mother and the advisor congratulate you on your successful campaign.
Back home and you already have to deal with another issue. The governor of the northern lands is complaining about the Hurthlings; second year in a row they're attempting to pay the regular coin taxes with vegetables and livestock (he let them last year, just once). He wishes for the King to decide what to do about it (and the governor provides few options).
After brief consideration, you decide to...
A) Extort proper taxation from Hurthlings.
B) Evict the Hurthlings unless they start paying with money.
C) Force the governor to accept their 'taxes', and then sell them at the market.
D) Offer to negotiate between the Hurthling chieftain and the governor.
