"In the North, victory is achieved with sword and axe. It's different with you southerners. You're not so good as warriors, but you're crafty and better with magic. Your army has very strong mages. That makes you strong... for southerners anyway. The other mages have seen it too. It makes them come to beg for protection. Priests of Nethys want to open their own coven under your wing to share the knowledge."
