Might have to travel a little ways away from Sartar for something good in 1614 - however, Greymane of the Solanthi has his First Great Raid of the Holy Country that year.

I think actually the Grazelander War may have cost Fazzur a fair amount of support in Mirin's Cross - not enough to take him down, but enough to erode some of his reputation amongst the court of the Provincial Overseer. And Fazzur is better at war and dealing with barbarian tribes than at court politics.

Let's see, one side is the Grazelanders, led by Jarsandron Ten Herds, and later joined by Ironhoof and the Beasts. The other side is the kingdom of Tarsh and the Provincial Army. Both are likely to hire mercenaries. Although I think the Tarshites pay better.
