1.777 Snowrun, Falkreath, Rift Valley, Reach Four-Coloned Baron
The crisis of the Stormcloak disrupted the lord's adventure to the "Northern Kingdom" Labrinthian.
In fact, from the perspective of the lord, the ultimate goal of this multi-party collaboration involving the Silver Blood Family of Markarth City, the Forsworn, the Stormcloaks and the Orc Tribe is not the Reach Territory, but the Skyrim of the Falkreath Territory.
The gateway to Helgen. The orc tribe of High Rock has been coveting the Falkreath Territory for more than a day or two. Otherwise Falkreath wouldn't be famous for death. It has the largest cemetery in Skyrim, with buried people from the Mythic Era to the Fourth
Countless warriors fell in the Era. In history, the orcs of the Wrothgar Mountains also tried to capture Falkreath more than once. The most famous one was during the Tianchen War in 2E 583, when the Reach Deathhorn tribe and the tauren attacked Skyrim.
The front refers to Falkreath first.
In other words, as long as Ulfric Stormcloak is willing to exchange the vast forests and lands of Falkreath for an alliance with the orc tribe in the Wrothgar Mountains, this turmoil that can shake Western Skyrim will greatly weaken the empire.
The forces in Skyrim. You must know that among the nine territories of Skyrim, most of the lords who aspire to the empire are from Western Skyrim. At present, Lord Falkreath, Sid Gale, has a cold nature and rarely participates in the political affairs of the territory. Everything is managed by the steward Nanya.
The Imperial Legion led by General Tullius has been stationed in the Lord's Longhouse for a long time, and Special Envoy Skunnar commands most of Falkreath's garrison. Therefore, in the view of Ulfric Stormcloak, this young lord is not at all
It’s worth mentioning. However, Baron Ximu, who rebuilt Helgen, is a serious problem. Therefore, the best way is to use the hands of the orcs to destroy the Skyrim portal. In this way, half of Wu Chen’s power will be weakened, while maintaining a semblance of harmony on the surface.
.At least until there is no conclusive evidence, Baron Brookwood has no direct evidence to accuse Ulfric Stormcloak of blatantly violating the "Lords' Covenant".
Think about it, if Reach and Falkreath were captured by the Forsworn and Orc forces, the entire Western Skyrim would no longer have the energy to participate in the civil war between the Empire and the Stormcloaks. Even the last Dragonborn Creek would have to be prepared to prevent the war from spreading.
Baron Wood did not dare to act rashly. It was only natural for Ulfric Stormcloak to send his army north, capture Solitude, and proclaim himself the High King of Skyrim.
I have to say that uniting the Forsworn and the Orc Horde is indeed a good move.
It's a pity that the arrival of Faline, the head of the Richland, made the lord break the situation early. So he did not hesitate to use the profits of two silver mines to support the Richlord Igmund. This is also a wise move: let's ask Baron Ximu to cut the chicken with a knife.
, "cannons to kill mosquitoes", if you just want to deal with a group of rabble, is it necessary to mobilize so many troops? Obviously Baron Ximu must have discovered a deeper crisis behind it.
Therefore, it was not the Forsworn or the Orc tribe that the Lord used two silver mines to fight against, but the mastermind behind it. Ulfric Stormcloak naturally understood this move.
"Master, as expected, you will be granted the title of Baron of Rich." The housekeeper had already thought of it in advance: "If you do not plan to obtain a property of equal value in Markas City, Lord Igmund will generously grant you the title."
I’ll give you a piece of territory near Ximu.”
"Sunshine Manor Fortress." The Lord smiled.
Fort Sungard, also transliterated as "Fort Sungard", is a fortress on the eastern side of the Ruichi Hanluo Mountains on the west bank of the Great Lakes. It guards the West Skyline along the north-south valley road of the Hanluo Mountains leading to the East Skyline.
The choke point. It is located in the transition zone from the Tundra Plateau to the Snowman Tundra on the edge of the Karls River Canyon in the Reach region. It is located at the intersection of the Reach, Snowman and Falkreath.
Important key strategic points of the province.
As long as we acquire this ancient castle with a long history that can even be traced back to the First Era, with the current strength of the lord, we can guard the safety of the entire sky. With our own efforts, we can become the strategic buffer zone between the east and west sky and the north and south sky. Not only
It can separate the civil war between the nine lords of Skyrim, and can also resist the Forsworn's eastward advance and the orc tribe's northward advance.
Precisely because it is a strategic location, it is undoubtedly a hot potato for Lord Rich Igmund who is not strong enough to defend the fortress of Sunshine Manor. He took the opportunity to entrust it to a "Xueman, Falkre" who has over 10,000 households in his territory.
"Si, the three barons of the Rift Valley, the three lords of Ximu, Helgen, and Crow Rock" are like providing help in times of need, the icing on the cake, and a wonderful thing!
In this way, the lord will become "the lord of the four lands of Xueman, Falkreath, Rift Valley, and Reach, Ximu, Helgen, Crow Rock, and Sunshine Manor."
As for the choice of housekeeper for Sunshine Manor Fortress, it is no surprise that she should be the Redguard female housekeeper Faline who was appointed by Lord Igmund as the Reach envoy this time. It is precisely because of the intersection with the Lord’s old adventures that the female
The housekeeper Faline was entrusted with the important task by Lord Igmund. Of course, regarding the accumulated conflicts between the always outspoken Red Guard housekeeper and the young and energetic Lord Igmund, it is also the best choice. You must know that as
A Red Guard must have extraordinary abilities to obtain the high position of a lord's head. Moreover, the Red Guard mercenary group that will be exchanged for two silver mines cannot be handed over to a Red Guard who has outstanding abilities and is at odds with the lord.
Housekeeper. This is a risk control that every lord knows. So why not "throw yourself into the arms" of the Red Guard housekeeper and be a "favor"?
Just by looking at the strong physique of the ancient-blooded Nord female warrior who is not inferior to the "descendant of the old king", we know that the housekeeper Falin is a powerful five-star warrior. She also has extremely rare management talents. Being both civil and military both internally and externally has always been a rarity in the territory.
Talent. The lord will definitely accept it happily.
The situation was completely beyond the expectations of the lord and the housekeeper.
After receiving Lord Ximu's promise, Lord Igmund of Rich immediately made Wu Chen Baron of Rich. After asking his vassals for their opinions, Lord Igmund established the entire Han River east of the old Holodan Hotel.
Lord Rich, the newly minted Lord of the Fallen Mountains, is here. This is almost the entire "Cape of Kars" from the Reach to the eastern horizon. Of course, although the area is very large and the diagonal length is almost 300 miles, it can be cultivated.
The valley is even smaller than the White River Valley. Moreover, in this valley known as the Lost Valley, there is also the ghost song witch queen Alana and her unyielding guardian sisters Avila, Fevilla, Ferena, and Her.
The Lost Valley Fortress guarded by Ensten, Sheila, Levin, Mayfleet, and Verela. There are also the female chief sisters Mafulin and Felasa who are also from the Ghost Song clan and occupy the Cradle Stone Tower.
This also means that Lord Igmund has rightfully granted the land around the Lost Valley that was already occupied by the Lord to Lord Rich. Of course, there are still some useful things. For example, the Bile Canyon Mine (
Bilegulch Mine), which produces very high-quality Orichalcum. Except that it is occupied by a group of orc bandits, it is not bad.
Orichalcum is green in color and very hard, stronger than steel, and has elusive properties. Because orichalcum is often found in friable shale, it is easier to dig. The sediment does not contain slag, so no beneficiation is needed
But orichalcum is notoriously difficult to smelt. Continuous low heat must be used to prevent the metal from becoming brittle and cracking. The iron is often used as a binder, according to famed blacksmith Gurzbog gra.
-Gulog), pure orichalcum is lighter and stronger than its ferroalloy. Although both are heavy, there is a clear difference in weight. The Orks' reliance on heavy plate armor makes pure orichalcum smelting important.
.
Orichalcum weapons stay sharp longer than most weapons forged from conventional metals, and are remarkably resistant to rust and chipping. Its unique color is equally noteworthy—not as gaudy as high elf glass, nor as
As boring as iron or steel.
All in all, as long as you take this Bile Canyon mine for your own use, the lord will obtain pure orichalcum ore that is scarce among the orcs of Skyrim.
