Protect her small escort on the road, then use the capital’s support to survive the civil conflict and force both claimants to submit 2. Star of the Poles — Jogaila and Jadwiga enter Galicia to rescue the queen’s mother and face the fortified principality of Halych. Win support from nearby towns, strengthen the heroes through combat and healing, and break Halych’s defenses before it can take control of the region 3. Duel of the Dukes — Jogaila and Vytautas contest control of Lithuania in a fast-moving civil war.
