Come to think of it, there was some guy in Shadovar who tried to take over Sallowtown by his lonesome and failed. Then he got banned by Edelstein. Was it Hericus? For some reason I think it was Hericus.
But that goes to show, those people on the islands have been trying for Sallowtown for a long time, intermittently though.
That was Bowie. Hericus was literally banned within 2 minutes of joining the realm. I don't know what the hell he was thinking when joining a realm I was judge of, my family stopped !@#$ing around when it comes to his a long time ago.
Military action against Shadovar was required because the last city of a realm can't switch allegiance, and because that city was blocking a few more regions from joining in. Some in Shadovar just didn't want to leave prematurely but offered no resistance. Mathias seemed kinda sore to lose rulership, but came in when Shadovar died because he was just powerless to do otherwise, imo. Power crumbled from underneath him because the judge was stupid enough to ban a duke strong enough to conquer the rest of the realm, without asking the ruler for permission.
