People are going hungry in both Rettlewood and Thysan. We need our nobles to get those region producing at their maximum capacity for their current population. And the whole takeover became chaotic because it was not organised. But well, who could imagine that the region would fall for the takeover, even though for the last two days we had abandoned it. 
Haha, yeah...Its rather odd how the takeover continues even if the region is abandoned. Got to do with how much they want to join the realm. I remember something similar happened to Hyperion(?) in Caerwyn - he started a takeover in Lavendrow I think it was, then left the region. The takeover continued, and the region converted. People were angered by the takeover, because it had not been sanctioned (etc), and he just denied it, because he wasn't in the region when it converted
On an aside, I've never seen undead try to take over a region before, and so quickly! Only ever seen monsters try it, and that was after quite a while in the region.
