Palace should only really take two. Plus we can try to integrate them while we build it.
At a civilization scale, what does painkiller give us? Improved surgery due to less thrashing?
Any parting made would very likely not be amicable, because Divine Stewards would proc from us losing land, as well as Lord's Loyalty for what would be perceived as treachery.
wait ... you want to integrate them into our bureaucracy .. while we are in the middle of reorganizing our bureaucracy?
That, and a potent trade good
Pain itself was a major killer in early surgery (it leads to shock and heart failure.) Doctors would practice doing surgeries for speed to limit the amount of time the person was in extreme pain, because that would improve survival rates. We're talking serious surgeries in under a minute. It's basically impossible to practice good sanitation or to be careful when you're going at that speed.
Probably true. Though I meant kind in a return to our oldest roots "You have grievances against us. Those grievances are justified. We shall make them right. You are right that we are not being proper stewards for the Stallion lands" if it was done right it'd even challenge Divine Stewards in such a way as to possibly prompt a trait evolution.
We need to remove their army. Without it, breaking away becomes a lot harder.

Hmmm.
