Lord Vermiculus ponders what the head of House Vigilum says, it makes a lot of sense. Finally he makes a decision, "You men stand before me by the graces of the very man who brought you here. I wanted you and your families dead, but he thinks it's better to exile you. So I shall do that. But, I cannot let your treason go unpunished. You are all hereby exiled, your lands forfeit and your names meaningless. Your families will remain here, so that if you ever return to these lands, I will send them to you, one piece at a time." The guards take them men to the docks and pop them on a ship bound to the north. The families are removed from their estates and put into the fanciest inn in the capital. Their lands given to Houses Nobilis, Fregit, Opulentus and Avarus, four new Houses that supported House Vermiculus in its claims.

The new houses get their affairs in order and become new houses (hopefully) loyal to Vermilicum. However as soon as the dust settled, a new issue... or maybe an opportunity arose.

A letter had come from the new queen of Wolastra, a rebel army had arose to dispute her leadership since she was a woman and all, her small army wouldn't be enough to defeat the rebel army and as such, requests help from lord Vermilicum.

If he does aid her, she promises that she will become an ally to the king of Tar Sequinus and supporting him in his endeavors.

However, some of your advisors treat this with skepticism and find this suspicious, however, if this is true, then the borders with Wolastra could finally be secured.
