It was a long time coming but finally the Maelor dynasty will get the chance to take control of one of the most powerful forces in this playthrough and rule not just above dukes but above kings. This has the advantage that I now have a huge amount of vassals and thus a vast military force at my disposal, bolstered by a seriously hefty amount of alliances.

The downsides however are just as numerous if not more so. Most of my actual power is centralised far away from my new seat of power. The amount of power this seat currently holds is weak as while I am stronger then any individual vassal, if they team up against me they'll vastly outnumber my strength and be able to push forward their demands. Also I am not the youngest ruler which means that any problems I have now are going to be magnified once my heir takes control. 

While it may be a moment of celebration, in truth this may be the only time there is relative peace in my family line in the foreseeable future. It's likely that very soon, this is all going to go horribly wrong.
