Over your lifetime, you've succeeded in strengthening the Gaelic community.

Through marital and political alliances you've gained land and titles. You are the first 'Lord of the Isles', a title which shall be passed on to future generations of the Clan Donald.

You've managed to keep out of any major political struggles by altering your loyalties to suit. When times are troubled, and you cannot trust anyone, it is true that only the fittest will survive.

Adaptablility has been the key to success in this mission. Well done.

The struggle continues for many years, until the reign of James IV, when the Lordship of the Isles is finally 'tamed' and dissolved by the House of Stewart.
