You decide to use the spies to bring down the spirit of the rebels.

A week...
5*
In just two weeks, the city surrenders. There's pillaging and massacring, but nothing excessive - not that much have left of rebel and Estanquanortan populace.
The ringleaders of rebellion are given no mercy; all of them are customarily executed by drowning with a rock tied around their necks. As the city lacked a moat, the drownings were done in Lake Estanquanorta, a short walk north of the city.
The rebellion is over! You can return home triumphiant, you just need to wait a day for your overjoyed soldiers to sober up from all the pillaging and drinking.
Congratulations! King Matin successfully completed this military campaign!
Late Spring, 449 AEC
Your return to the capital is welcomed by loyal citizens. Flowers are tossed at the heads of your soldiers while Priests and Priestesses annoint the victorious men with rose water and fragnant grease.
Your wife and your court welcome you, and you sit down on the throne of Kastoria, having been absent from the place for quite some time.

Soon enough news come from all around the Kingdom; your fast dispatching of the rebellion and merciless execution of the rebels have silenced the disgruntled peoples, while your loyalists feel that the nation is stronger than ever. After all, how could anyone dare rise in arms against you, if you win battles marvelously and decimate rebels without mercy?
'King Matin the Fearsome', the scholars and common men alike repeat the street-borne nickname of yours, and you happily adopt it. May it strike doubt in hearts of lesser men, who contemplate going against you, with either arms or plots!
Summer, 449 AEC
You receive a report from the governors of the cities in the southwest.
It seems that there's a bit of a surge in migrant arrivals from Xane-Peon. Many of Peonian peoples, with their insurrection being squashed and reprisals from the Regents (now calling themselves The Noble Council of Xane-Peon) being very severe, are now escaping across the border to Kastoria. They arrive in groups, and even whole families, bringing their belongings and livestock with them. Both private inns and clerical hostels for the poor are being overrun, and those without a shelter loiter on the roads, in the farmlands, and backyards of Kastorian peoples.
A) Vagrants and beggars! Expel them, lest they bring ruination to the honest Kastorian peoples!
B) It's only a matter of time until they disperse and relocate to greener pastures, so we can simply wait.
C) I can't turn blind eye to those who seek a new life in Kastoria! Let's prod the Treasurer to dedicate some money for construction of new homes and shelters.
