I'm not really going to trust armed men who've seen a lot of fucked up shit during their time in the army, no matter how nice they were before the war. Also, specially since they haven't had some for quite some time. Case in point, the Battle for Berlin 1945....
They're not really that far from the border. xD They're just stealing shit here and there and abducting village ruling nobles here and there to get Terheridon's attention. We're more of a nuisance then a threat actually. xDDD
Yeah well we got nothing until one of the duchies become an Prussia-esque state and starts beating up and robbing it's neighbors. Until then however, we still have our fabulous mountain beards. :D
