(Since they married in the beginning of the year and now their child was born it should be near the end. One more timeskip and the year will change.)

Greidil's pregnancy had progressed much in the past few months while she was held in the tower. No one was allowed to see her except for the maid that brought her food and changed her chamber pot. Like they had planned she faked moving away to Riften while in fact she was taken back into the city later under disguise. Engar was a bit too ashamed of going to see Greidil so he stayed away from the tower.

Windhelm's guards had regained almost all their past numbers and the rookies were now getting acquainted with their jobs. Crime was steadily going back down in the city.

Engar had buried himself in work since he found out about Greidil's pregnancy. He and Alfbrand had figured a way to grow Windhelm's strength. "We must expand." Alfbrand told him. "Your ancestors ruled all of Eastmarch, you must do so as well to stand a change against our enemy up north. Winterhold has expanded their reach in the past few years and their Jarl's ambition is to conquer Windhelm."

"Where do we start through?" Engar asked his steward.

"Amol is located a ways south of Fort Morvunskar. It is a small trading hub that controls all trade caravans coming from Whiterun to the east." Alfbrand suggested. "But its Thane will not give up his title willingly. There is also a small mining town in the south of Eastmarch, Darkwater."

"Darkwater is too far south. Without Amol it would be too hard to maintain a hold of it." Engar said. "We might be able to take Amol but we'd have to be smart about it. I think I should discuss this further with Toralf. He might know how to better take the city."
