You decide to lead your armies on this incursion.
3*
The attack is swift and also swiftly falls into disarray; the element of surprise is lost by an accident and your scouts failed to notice the actual numbers of the garrison at the mines!
6*
But that does not matter! You quickly regroup and strike into the enemy lines, leading your men to glorious victory against imperfect odds. The mines are yours, but quite a handful of Luthian soldiers escape.
Soon you will learn of consequences of your actions.
Maybe?
You post a large garrison at the mines, which are also fortified a bit. The new overseer of the mines says they should be able to fill the year's quota thanks to how short the fighting was and how early into the year it happened.
965 AD, Summer
Your youngest son, Feodh, catches the deadly swamp fever, which kills 90% of the toddlers that contract it!
6ffffffffffffffuuu
Alas, the disease was overcome by Feodh. Truly a demigod, the little one is.
965 AD, Midsummer
You receive a letter from Queen of Lametania; she got into a bit of trouble with the Damdamians and while she managed to pacify their wrath, they require a monetary compensation. Unfortunately the Lametanian treasury has been drained severely in recent years after their once profitable mining venues in Ironside mountains failed completely.
A) Of course we will send them some money at once!
B) Tis a bad luck and we ain't gonna do anything about it.
C) How about we send soldiers to protect Lametanian borders instead?
