That little scrap of land far to the north west? Does that count? Will it become a realm? Not sure what's happening there, but the south at least is free of them.
The character that joined was Gnaeus. i forget his position but it was ruling council. Initially, Rania wanted to convert him (just to stick it to Jomorosh). Unfortunately, I think the player was going through some OOC stuff and did not respond to her. So...banned.
