OK, so by then the Lunar power is obvious to the most obtuse and the foreign king Rikard Tiger-hearted has been replaced by the Esvulari king Bandar Tiger-Bane. By this time, many Hendreiki are giving up any hope that Broyan (who most believe is their true and lawful king) will be able to hold out, let alone defeat the Lunars. Some warriors might still try to come to Broyan's aid (but few can get through the Lunar lines) - most are just readying themselves for the worst.

Sure, although by mid-late 1620, those supply caravans will likely be few and far between. Maybe Broyan and his chosen warriors survive on divine splendorbread and widebrew.:)

Some might. It depends on what they can get away with. Remember, central Heortland has been (and is still being) ravaged by scorpionmen from the Print, which tends to distract a lot of the fiercer folk...
