[Izulde]

Unfortunately, while the subsequent ruler managed to gain enough territory to qualify for creating the throne, his vassals soon outpowered him and that stupid duel event fired again. Once again a loss, and down to a single scrub county (Mezen) because the game wouldn't let me inherit my prize county with chosen heir (that part followed correctly, but I don't understand why it defaulted me to the worse of the two situations - other than it was eldest son?)

Anyway, I was so disgusted by that, I quit. The duel mechanic is stupid and it seems like there's zero reason to ever do it. Either you die and lost everything or you instantly become Craven.
