The Battle for the Strait

The parias of Target Gra Country come north on schedule. So do the envoys, with grievances long enough to wear out the chamberlain of our Target Cas Country Court Title. Yet south of the Sierra Morena the throne still stands, and the Reconquista that began at Covadonga remains unfinished while Target Gra Ruler holds court in the Al-Ḥamrā'.

This last stretch will not be the work of one campaign. The bishops have wanted a crusade for two generations. The great houses, more practically, want a chance at the conquered grants that will follow one. Our task is to keep both pushing in the same direction long enough for the throne in Target Gra Country to crack.
