Actually, if he takes Aife and she doesn't mind then we're on track for a personal union of Dahnia and Luathbas, which would be pretty great. So C it will have to be, assuming it's matrilineal.

[Criptfeind]

But unless they have a Matrilineal marriage it's going to be a personal union with Luathbas as the minor partner, which I don't. Think? we want? It seems unlikely that it'll be Matrilineal since he's. Well, their king.

[birdy51]

Regardless, we would become the ruler of Luathbas, and take the King of Dahnia's role. Which, would be cool seeing as we are now a mass conglomerate!

It depends on the succession laws of both states but I suspect our stronger position makes this issue irrelevant - even they inherited our kingdom on paper, we will be able to keep our institutions.

That said if we are going down this route we need to get rid of Ceodwell sooner rather than later.

Our laws allow a female monarch, so we'd still control the country, and I doubt we care that much about the last name of our heir changing. Besides, he is actually already (somewhat) related to us. So the dynasty would be upheld.
...wait, no, he's descended from Sela and [some bloke], so I guess he belongs to the [some bloke] dynasty. Unless Sela arranged a Matrilineal marriage, which it seems like she might do. Er. Where's that family tree when you need it?
...do we care about the last name of heir changing? Is this CK2, where the end of the dynasty=game over?

[Criptfeind]

Even if it's not crusader kings style there's an issue here that we don't realllllly control what our characters do, we can just direct them at decision points. If it was possible to have Aife marry him but stay in our court as our heir, that's all well and good, but if we have to send her away to die in his court or get turned into a singularist or something, even if she was to come back at a later date once she inherits, that's not so good. She's pretty fragile, something that seems fixable, but we need to have her "on screen" to work on it, maybe. If she just goes away and dies in childbirth in like a year, that'd be a huge waste. But, it's possible we don't get that level of control. Which would suck.

Not to mention we some of you already made a deal with him. trying to back out now might hurt our relationship.

That said, hey, if there's the singularist god listening, you know how you could convert Luathbas right now? By curing Aife.

Don't give away Aife though.

You send a letter in which you inquire if King Antkuk is interested in marrying one of the other girls of yours as Eirike is simply not interested.

~~>891 AD, Autumn<~~

People of the south cry for help! The Damdamian Republic has invaded the borderlands!

A flurry of messengers and nobleman envoys report that four full units of Damdamian Army, totalling 16.000 men, backed by few thousand of cavalry and crossbowmen have crossed into Luathbas through the southern border. Scouts and spies alike report that the Damdamians have lots of supplies, siege engines and auxiliaries at their disposal, too. Already several smaller settlements have been captured and three outposts besieged as the bulk of the invading force is moving northwards.

Emergency council is convened during which the officers discuss all possible options. This time there would be no hesitation, an emergency mobilization is called at once. There are few other options, too...

As for vassal help...

A) Call upon King Beren and Duke Tven to provide troops.
B) Call upon King Beren to provide troops.
C) Call upon Duke Tven to provide troops.
D) Do not involve vassals yet, leave them for later.

As for foreign help...

A) Send an envoy to the Kingdom of Dahnia.
B) Send an envoy to the Gubta Empire.
C) Send an envoy to the Kashite Kingdom.
D) Let's not involve foreigners in this.

The officers look at the Marshal, who clears his throat, scratches his forehead and then looks at you.

"In such a dire situation, we would call upon our King to lead our armies against the superior foe. But as the laws and traditions have it, you do not need to get involved, Queen Elana. You son Ceodwell, as we found out, has quite a martial skill about him. Still, I shall ask on behalf all others: shall you lead us to victory?"

A) "FETCH MY CHAINMAIL DRESS AND SHIELD AT ONCE!"
B) "No, this is dire situation as you said, the royal family should not meddle with the frontline order."
C) "No, but my son Ceodwell shall lead you to victory!"

//Remember, no split votes, etc.
