An interesting role reversal.

A long time ago, I was doing a Nord playthrough. We were at war with both Swadia and Vaegir. I took over the Vaegir city of Curaw.

Unfortunately, the fighting was rather bloody. By the end I only had about forty men left, half of which were unconscious. Still, the city was mine, and I figured it would not take long to regrow my army.

Then suddenly the Butter King himself rolls up with an army of over 1000 Swadians (no exaggeration - I counted.) He immediately besieges the city.

I'm thinking: "Curaw isn't so far from Sargoth. Ragnar will surely come to my aid."

And guess what the next message I received was?

"King Ragnar is holding a feast in Sargoth. He invites you to attend."

The message I received after that?

"King Ragnar has decided to give you Curaw."

Mere seconds later, the Swadians attacked, and I had to hold them off with only 30-40 men. Needless to say, my reign as Jarl of Curaw was short-lived. When I finally got out of prison, I renounced my oath to Ragnar and rode south to join King Graveth of the Rhodoks.
