The kings certainly must have helped them out, given that a number
of them died as a result! But I don't think they could really compel
the tribes to obey if they didn't want to (in the Torkani history at
my website, the tribe refuses to do so at one point). So, not really
a
royal deployment as such, but at least with royal approval and, at
times, moral pressure.

Depends what you mean by a 'major part', I think. Not the
majority,
I suspect - though its a while since I've read KoS, so I could be
wrong.
