I would also like to point out that the fortification thing happened when a portal was opened there, the army being moved back to Fronepu was also the result of a portal being opened, etc. It's hardly the GM's fault if the nobles fail to police their commoners into using portals responsibly. A running theme with all of humanity's set-backs have been portals, however not all of the portal openings have been to humanity's detriment. One of the openings moved a bunch of monsters from the south to Thalmarkin, who were much more capable of dealing with said threat.
