(HDS: A mangonel is a form of catapult, based on torsion springs.

As for all this warlord business: this is a high fantasy setting (i.e. based on the Middle Ages). War is endemic to this sort of situation (one of small city-states vying for power). Also, I'm (sort of) friends with Falkreath, and Bruma is over the Jeralls. If anyone attacks me, they'll be a long time in the coming (unless they're Whiterun... obviously.)
