I can't really see him doing anything all that useful in Murandy with Tarmon Gaidon around the corner. And since Murandy is very territorial, with most of the locals paying tribute and loyalty to individual lords and ladies rather than the nation, it seems like way too much effort. Any unity there may simply be the regional lords/ladies agreeing to assist the king in certain matters...not necessarily following his orders and building unity.

If this is where he is, I will be very unimpressed!
