Turn 2

Prince Magnus at the Isle of Mann gathered his war council as he received the orders from his mighty father. There will be war and he will play and important role in it. His father gathered one of the largest fleet Norway ever say in the last hundred year to reestablish his controll over north of Scotland and the Hebrides. Prince Magnus' task will be to lead the forces of the Kingdom of Mann into Ireland to reclaim settlements like Dublin, founded by the Norse people.
When he looked over the council he saw eager faces, this was their life, this was their living. There were only a very few questions asked. The fleet will be ready soon, the army can embark any time.
According to norse traditions Prince Magnus named his heir in case he might die in battle. He chosed a noble Knud of Qaanag, a talented but young man, from a family with high connections so that other will accept his lead without hesitation in the unlikely case he will die.
The meeting did not last long, the prince displayed confidence through the whole meeting, but deep inside he had his doubts about the plan of his mighty father.
