Stefan ain't dead. The disaster roll wasn't high enough for that.

Oof, those rolls were subpar. At least the 4 triggered on a task we couldn't actually fail, but still.

The White Stag. A legend if there ever was one, whose beauty was so magnificent and rare, that even catching a glimpse of it was cause for a hunter to celebrate.
But you did not see a hint of the White Stag while you were away. It eluded you at every turn.
But you were content with another sort of hunt. One hunt that was…. Mutual for everyone involved.
And Zima was far more magnificent and beautiful than even the White Stag. And that's a fact you will always believe until your dying days. Anyone who says otherwise will be thrown in the stocks.

Eh... It depends what we do during the mini turn really. If you want her to stay safe and not go on campaign, you have to get a good dice roll. If you make her stay until she is no longer pregnant, it involves a lesser dice roll.
Will it prevent her from personally leading her army?
If she goes, that might have a negative impact on her health and the health of her children.

Well, they are no longer going to be sticking knives in our emperor or us now, since they are dead or traitors, and we can have assassins shank their asses if they try to come back.
