With South Calzone and Avalonia no longer battling over Turtle Island, its inhabitants are made aware that Avalonia has been retaken by glorious revolution. Only when proofs of this are made is it revealed an unknown part of how the island was able to resist foreign invasion as long as it did: during the Civil War, it became clear to the true King of the Britonic States that if he and his family were to remain, it would mean death for them, and so he, his family, his closest political advisers, and a few thousand loyal soldiers secreted themselves away to Turtle Island, where they helped the Belanese and the Avalonians there resist attacks.
The defenders of Turtle Island are viewed with due awe and respect by pretty much everyone. Promises are made to repay their loyalty when the state is able to do so.
Learning that the true King lives and intends to reclaim the throne, the acting royal family and its followers in the Britonic States call to their sister kingdom to the East, which was a token supporter of their rule, to provide refuge for them. Upon the reclamation of the throne, the True King is informed, by a representative of the sister state, that the traitors' fates rest in his hands; he has them repatriated and forces them to swear a blood oath to support the rule of his line and be nidering should they break this oath (nidering = lowest of the low; William the Conqueror, despite being hated by Saxons, was able to draw up considerable armies from them by stigmatizing those who didn't show up nidering, to give you some idea of the force of this oath). The Britonic States become part of the New Union.
The Council promises reforms in how things are run to make things more stable in future, and to prevent military takeovers.
