Wow, it looks like SWF have really Fallen on their faces here and Burned a lot of Bridges for this round of strategus with their Cavalier attitude towards diplomacy.  The Tundra Knights offered to Kutt them a deal; A new fief and the Hospitallity of a powerful faction but they instead chose the Chaos of war.  Reputation means everything in Strategus and is far more important than a single fief.  When the war is over SWF will be lucky if they can pick up the Remnants of their resources and live a timid life Amongst the Shadows.  The little guy doesn't get to demand things.
