Thank you Father. I wish you could be there for the initial attack, but if Lothar can't take it this year, you'll take command.

The reason I chose to strike quickly, is that some of the garrison is outside the castle. Better to take it lightly defended, and Lothar does have a decent amount of catapults.

Once Palermo is taken, I plan to offer terms to Sicily, most likely offering them Cagliari. We'll see if they're wise enough to take it.
