The imperial envoys told a bit of a lie to Stormhelm, instead of under a hundred refugees, 49 fully loaded ships land in Stormhelm, that is around 20k people, the vast majority of the imperial aristocracy and their servants. These people are all extremely rich having sold everything they owned in Skåland. They start buying up weapons factories and sell the weapons at a higher rate than the native companies would seeing how Stormhelm will need them for their war. They also still have a large navy in Stormhelm, and lots of weapons, for now they are loyal. 14th of January 1906
