Actually, what is the inheritance laws set up for the empire? Does the eldest get everything? Split between the sons? Evenly or eldest biased? Do females get equal inheritance rights as males? And in case of extinction of the main family line who is in the line of succession? Eldest living family member? Closest living relative (e.g cousin)? Or is it all elective by a group of powerful nobles?

Sombra is dangerous, but he's also arrogant. The best moment to attack him will probably be after HIS next attack.
Fixed artillery and fortifications will give us a considerable advantage on the defense, and he'll probably attack us with everything he has to stamp us out once and for all, leaving himself vulnerable if we win without too many losses and are ready to counter-attack.
Also if we're lucky the yak's shamans will alert us if/when Sombra is about to attack again, and our spies are doing a good work as well.
I would have gone with the archive action instead of the princess, by the way. We need some new trick after revealing everything we had in the last battle. We won't always have a convenient avalanche at our disposal, and the only upgrades we have right now are gun-cotton (less smoke, more bang for equal mass) and grape shots (better vs infantry). Usefull, but not as game-changing.
Flamethrowers and cannons should be good counters against the Windigos and the crystal monsters, but the flying ships won't be much use cause of the blizzard (though it MIGHT be usefull instead as a mean of travel to the Qilin, and maybe as a bargaining chip if they don't already have something similar).
Hopefully the Qilin will have some info about Windigos and Umbrums. They're supposed to be the experts after all.

If we are lucky, we help the Quilin with better transportation and they help us in our winter problem.
If we are unlucky, they say no AND copy our idea but using fire to get hot balloons.

@Questor Would it increase the mission difficulty or decrease the number of other targets they could hit if the S is for Sabotage agents were instructed to set the corpse piles ablaze as well? Sombra's literally-work-them-to-death mustache-twirling evil doesn't make much sense unless he's actually getting something extra out of those deaths — such as, say, the bodies needed to construct abominations.

He's never encountered a foe that he couldn't defeat through the application of overwhelming force and his nearly unparalleled magical might. You're the first enemy he's faced that he actually needs a strategy to defeat.

That wouldn't change things up too much, though the corpse-piles are a low priority target in comparison to the mines.

The question is if his pride allows him to devise a plan against the Griffins other than 'get a bigger stick'? Because pulling fancy strategy, sabotage etc against us would mean that he is not powerful enough to simply crush us with his magical might and enslaved forces.
And as noted, Sombra has something of an ego.

They're very nice sticks and stones.
Also you know what they say: "sticks and stones will break his bones"
As i said, he is a less than competent general. Even if he starts trying to use actual strategies now he'll still have basically no background or experience in how to warfare. He won't suddenly turn into Naponyleon.

Also we have no idea how long he can sustain the blizzard and how hard/costly it is for him to do so. In his land the Windigos do it for him, but I don't know if they can do it in our lands as easily. We DO live in harmony (more or less)
Sombra: "and it's also faster and easier that way usually. It only costs a few thousands slaves more, it's not like they're good for much else. I have more anyway.
He is but one pony after all, and he never studied tactics.
He should have actually BARELY have been an adult when he killed princess Amore and enslaved everyone.
