After much effort, the imperial provinces eventually reached a loose alliance, whereby they remained autonomous in peacetime, but all Prince-Electors would unite against a large-scale Chaos invasion.
This outcome did not surprise the Emperor, as half of the imperial provinces were already directly threatened by Chaos. He merely needed to apply some pressure and rely on the support of the High Elves to secure approval.
Regarding the Bright Council, the Emperor knew it was unfeasible, so he simply didn't mention it.
Instead, Emperor Carl proposed supporting the Satusha pirate Airenas-Salt Water Hatred in her raids against the Norsca and Northern Barbarians along the coast. This notorious pirate planned continuous raids against the Northern Barbarians to fulfill her vengeance and the will of the Sea God Manannan.
Airenas bore immense hatred towards the Norsca people, vowing that her revenge would only cease once all Norsca people were dead.
