You decide to send the Army westwards to fight the nomads on Eldrican's behalf. Tetan I's brother and you sign two copies of the document that entitles your Empire to half of Koi's silver output for twenty years after the war ends.
1145 AD, Mid-Autumn
The Army has joined Eldrican troops at border with Tirine, where the fighting was pushed to. Apparently already they participated in several battles, where Thundercats and Methiantese discipline proved a gamebreaker.
1145 AD, Late Autumn
A brutal battle left twenty thousand dead in central Tirine; the nomads were routed and they launched a campaign of scorched earth against peoples of Tirine as they retreated toward their home steppes. The forces of Eldrican - with yours in tow - marched outside the borders to punish and destroy the nomads once and for all.
Meanwhile, news reach your court from the south. Margrave of Rucus have managed to exploit and manipulate the political situation in the Empire, and have not only taken the lands of Kingdom of Ebirus into his fold, he also abolished the previously somewhat autonomous Lametanian duchies. Instead of four territories there, now there's only the Margraviate.
1145 AD, Winter
The fierce fighting continues, but Ogan and his hordes might've made a critical error. They attempted to take out Vabokam dwarves out of equation, apparently after learning they supply Eldricans with arms. Normally a sound decision, the horse riders were unprepared for the dwarven fortress' defenses, consisting of giant saw blades ripping them from the ground and reinforced pipe-cranes spewing out hot lava on their heads. During the battle of Vabokam, about five thousand nomads perished while only handful of dwarves died.
Meanwhile, gold and gemstones arrive at your Treasury. The silver is sent to Ankurvat dwarves.

Glassware made big profits. People across Methiant praise the high quality of the goods once more.
1145 AD, Midwinter
"Orcs?" The courtiers murmur as the messenger from the Ironbone Mountains takes off his hat.
"Indeed, m'liege! The greenskins, they're stealing sheep and burning down the mountain hovels! They were first seen in the Summer, but avoided us, but they grew bolder by the Autumn and now has begun to harass us."
A) "It's probably some starving nomads. Can't your militia do anything done these days?"
B) "I will hire some adventurers to get rid of them, no problem."
C) "Our Army will go and purge the mountains of the greenskins right away!"
