Bluffing your way

Threaten Duncan with the wrath of the King of Norway. If he even thinks about attacking, you will return with a mighty Norse army. He will be made to regret it!

intro and mission

Surrender gracefully

Accept that the lands in the north should be part of the kingdom of Scots. You do not want any more blood spilled fighting for it. You could then put all your efforts into Orkney.

The element of surprise

Strike him before he strikes you! You are from a line of powerful leaders and fierce warriors. You will not be driven from your own lands. Join forces with your neighbour, Macbeth, Mormaer of Moray and destroy your mutual enemy.

Duncan sends many armies northwards. He plans to destroy all powerful leaders in the north.
