Variant: pick up a lycos amulet with your battlemage pretender as you conquer your first independent province (can't cast battle spells anymore)
Variant: pick up a Knife of the Damned with your melee pretender (and start collection afflictions).
Variant: pick up a lycos ammy with your demigod-sized pretender (and morph into a wimpy werewolf).
Bottom line: a few independent leaders types sometimes wear cursed items, learn who they are, and avoid meeting them if you still have free weapon or misc slots.

A cheaper way might be to 'buy' priestesses directly from the Arco player, if you have a common border.
Shame on the Arco Pretender that sells his babes!
I always disliked this particular use of the domination spells for trading (regarding nation specific commanders, that is), because of the dilution of the differences between nations.

This however I have no problem with. Of course, retaliation is to be expected in this instance from the pissed neighbour.
