Are you guys not so keen on the merger/annexation/"surrender"/whatever? Is it just Pierre's plan for the most part?

You overestimate how much we value these regions.

What do you mean by "he still has it officially"? On the Dwilight realms listing, is Leopold listed as the ruler?

Oh. Ok. Would have been a bummer for him to lose the throne in the first real battle of the war.

The way some were talking, with a "regent", it sounded like a placeholder thing. Since we currently have a placeholder magistrates case going, that wouldn't have been good.

I'm sure I do. One realm's trash is another realm's treasure, though.

Hardly trash, just not ours.

It's more like a second-in command thing, or Marshal thing, like where a general is captured, the next in line leads till he is freed,  there is no title changes or placeholders or anything, its just the council taking charge in his absence, since we need to recover from our losses and there are questions like: Where do I get my monies to replace the troops I lost?  What do we do next? ect...

Plus its doubtful that situation will come up as King Leopold is a hero, and a cavalry commander to boot, so he is the first to go into battle, so there is a good likelihood that he may not survive this war, as we are facing a larger army, and are unable to link up with our allies, so we have to face the brunt of Astrum's army as long as possible.

With the dangers of this conflict in mind, it is practical to have someone in mind if King Leopold falls, otherwise our next king may be....

In my experience, heroes tend to come in two categories: Those who die immediately, and those who live for decades. If he survives a coupe more battles, he'll probably go the distance. Although, the RNG likes to be devious and cruel. He'll probably die in the next-to-last battle. :p

Or killed in a minor monster clean-up in between campaign.

He could always go for the Thorson approach: Swear to kill a particular noble even if it takes forever, then subsequently die the next turn.

Damn RNG. Overlord wounded me over and over but my character survived all that. Would dying in a duel as a hero be considered as a heroic death?

Well, that is if Kas can get the majority to of Niselur to vote for him, if he runs for the position in the event of that happening. As I do not hear him speak much in the realm, I don't think its likely he would be able to garner the votes necessary to beat whatever challenger may appear.

I think if we did, the alliance would suddenly break apart, and Niselur would break into three pieces.  Oh and the Zuma would attack us :)

Heh, it was a joke, my character has already been on the receiving end of one of his crazy spurts.  He did run for Banker, but no one voted for him for some reason.  The Banker we have is super competent, and we have had no food problems during winter.
You guys forget that Karibash's unit of 149 men, 21% of the Astrumese infantry, left after suffering ~40 casualties determined to hunt after King Leopold.

It was explained in my rp that got cut off and which i didn't save. But don't worry, retreat rate is at 80% now so they'll fight to the last man.
At least this war has brought a lot of nobles out of hibernation, and brought the eternal north peace to an end.  King Leopold will be remembered for this at least.
I found it weird that despite being these bloodthirsty warriors in your rp, your unit retreated so easily.

I think Kas withdrew after awhile. After all, it is Qadan's given mandate apparently that he shall always be the Banker and a Duke of Iashalur/Niselur, even after he sided with Turin against Leopold during the revolt, lol. It will feel somewhat weird not having him as banker. :)

I guess a good banker is worth the weight in gold.  I haven't seen what a bad banker can do.  If any other realm knew how good he is, then they would want him for themselves.
