Continue blessing the Grodel Republic, in the hopes that they may do something of acclaim.
Just to clear any ambiguity if needed : the bless alone does not create event. The events on the "normal turns" are (mostly) random, and then randomly distributed to states. Though it is perfectly fine to bless or curse the same country each turn to trigger an event once the state is powerful / weakened enough.
Also, I will let it roll for few turns to see how it goes, but I fear that 10 in power pool to trigger an event is a too tall barrier. I may reduce it to 5 or 6, but again, we will see first. This first game is here to test after all.
Bless Engdal Duchy
Nice work on the map, by the way.
Thanks ! I use multi layers on Gimp, it makes it quite easier to modify the map, although it tends to struggle if I create too many text boxes in one session.

Year 1030 Year 1022 : After a decade of recovery, the
Logura Federation finally break the truce with the
Vidunese Kingdom to get its coastal city back, and more if they get on.
1 v 6 = Smashing Vidunese victory
Turns out they do not. Cornered between the vidunese troops and the walls of the city they were besieging, Loguran army is all but slaughtered, aside the totality of the federation's representatives.
In disarray, many loguran cities swear fealty to the approaching vidunese army, or proclaim independence only to be conquered a few months later. By 1024, the Logura Federation is no more.
Year 1024 : After decades of interfamilies marriages and diplomatic work with chiefs of the
Rodol Nomad Clan, the duke of
Baewen Duchy finally offers a peaceful integration into his realm, one of the most ancient state of the broken kingdom of Hyrun.
3 v 5 = Rodol refusal
The nomads are however still attached to their freedom, and declined the offer. Not so bad, considering the duke's envoy came back with all his limbs.
In a gesture of appeasement, the duke give to the nomads his tundra lands, which are scarcely populated and quite worthless anyway.
Year 1027 : Seeking guarantees in the wake of vidunese's conquest, the duke of
Dalguri Duchy manages to marry his daughter to the son and heir of the
Vidunese Kingdom, to the great displeasure of the rival kingdom of Divusene.
3 v 6 = Marriage in favor of Visunese (which apparently is full of pep this turn)
Dalguri's duke will later kick himself for this, as the marriage did not kept the duchy's independence, but instead firmly attached it inside Visunese's sphere of influence. Officially an ally, the duke is more like a vassal... To his king.
Year 1030 : War has broken out between
Larinise and
Briven kingdoms, for the control of the old Hyrun's capital, Selentia ! Both kings immediatly gather soldiers, but larinise ones cross the border first.
4 v 1 = Larinise first victory
Trapping the Briven's forces, the larinise army manages to deal a crippling blow to their foes a few days of walk from the capital. The Briven king is able despite this to get back to his capital.
The siege of Selentia begins.
