Starting a Kingdom from a Baronetcy

The experience of being a baron in a remote corner of the world? Poor!
Being poor is one thing, but having to face barbarian invasions with only a few dozen soldiers?!
In addition, there's the inevitable internal strife and treacherous politicking among the nobility.
Uncertainty in the leadership, internal and external crises.
Noble infighting, regents consolidating power.
Barbarian invasions from the north, peasant uprisings.
Gods awakening, dragons resurrecting.
If you don't want to die, climb!
Climb higher!
