Well I started my game, and immediately after Janusk shows up my sovereign spot a female dressed in blue robes. Ofcourse I recruit her on turn 2, costs a whopping 14 gildars. Then I try to propose her, she declines as I'm not famous enough.
So, I spot a bear cub and some spiders and we whack them to oblivion, level up and then she agrees. Cool. I then begin to inspect my sov's spouse... Let's see: She's royalty, got the looks, ok stats and a special ability... DOMINATION. I mean come on, I can't help but chuckle! A wife with domination, haha! 
Reminds me of my own life, so I rename her Laura. 
In addition of the ability being cool flavorwise, it kicks ass. So I imbue Laura with essence, as using domination costs 3 mana. What it does, is in short; it prevents an enemy unit in combat from counter-attacking whe struck in melee.
Years pass, and I finally meet a (neutral?) drake sovereign named Snafu or something loitering around a (neutral?) village with a same name. He threatens me, so ofcourse I attack him with my army which includes my sovereign, dominatrix-spouse, 4 wimpy scholars armed with bows, spiderling, 3 bears and a fire giant. Thanks to the domination spell, I kick the sorry gecko's butt with only losing one bear... Only to see the drake flee to the adjacent tile, where his village is, while his combat rating is multiplied by ten as it looks like there's an elemental lord there. Bug or not, looks like the village is off limits for now.
My sov now has 4 children, the eldest being 19 years of age. When do I get to see him as a unit?
