It is a total 'surprise' for the criminal scum! Only few escape arrest and punishment, and no noble nor military man is able to mount any resistance to your purge. In the end, 33 men and women are executed, over 40 imprisoned, and 10 have their wealth taken away.
1097 AD, Midwinter
With slight delay due to the snowstorms, gemstones arrive at your treasury while silver is sent east.
Reports of victory come from land of Donuth; another of the warlord's son has been slain and his forces scattered. Elsewhere, a raider group of Methiant horsemen met and shared information with some Cydwyl soldiers; apparently they're smashing Donuth's family to pieces in numerous skirmishes. If your commanders did the tally right, only one of Donuth's children has so far eluded combat and is still living - Gaam, third eldest of late Donuth's sons.
Another report comes from the newly assigned overseers of the newewst territories; people flock to the banner of Methiant, easily lured with promises of lesser taxation and proper system of laws.
1097 AD, Late Winter
Due to continuous snowing and lengthy blizzards in the north, both yours and Cydwyl armies had to camp away for several weeks. Not that the Donuth loyalists did a lot during that time, either.
1097 AD, End of the Year
As you watch the snowstorm continue outside, a knock on the door grabs your attention. Here comes the Advisor, with Scrolls of Kingdom Status in his hands.
Happiness: 7
Population: 5

"Most blessed leader, our Army is at war in the north yet they're numbers aren't very impressive. Shall we send money to the Cloisters of Alldivines in exchange for troops, if they have any at ready?" You decide to...
A) Get some monk-mercenaries recruited.
B) Keep the money in the Treasury for now.
