At this point, the main crop of Halisvust is Vlandian Nobles.
So, I control the peninsula from Ostican to Rovalt. A modest little fiefdom, for certain, and still learning to make both cities loyal and profitable.
However, the war with Vlandia has continued unabated, and every time I turn my back, ine of these Butterlords is raiding Halisvust. Me, being Battanian, easily corral them in the forest and crush their smaller raiding force, then try to go on my merry way... only for Halisvust to be raided yet again. Due to it being a very handy peninsula, once I can scare them past the village, the noose is already taut.
At this point, I think I have single handedly captured the entire royal family, most nobles, and basically all of their mercenaries and minor houses. Rovalt has become Hotel Battania for the weary Vlandian lord. I'm going to have to start charging for floor space, let alone double bunking them all. They've sued for peace four times and the council has politely ignored each and every one.
All because they keep raiding Halisvust.
