[2.4.2 BETA] Vassal Khan went independent somehow

[Jorlem]

Somehow, between this autosave and this save, one of my vassal Khans went independent without waging war or doing anything that I could stop. I'm not sure how it happened, unfortunately. I was focusing on freeing my son from prison, so didn't notice exactly when it happened. (Aren't I supposed to get an alert or pop up when one of my vassals becomes independent?)

As a followup, I went back into this save, and noticed that I am still the blood brother of the khan that went independent. Still not sure how it happened, but this is preventing me from retaking my lost land.

This is actually WAD - you clan has subjugated an Empire and has therefore gone independent. If you take a look at the first save you've got an empire in the Khiva region (Arslan) which your clan is at war with.

Ah, is that the reason? Even so, shouldn't I get a pop up or something explaining what happened?

This is how it's always been, vassals with claims to titles the same rank/higher than yours will always go independent if they manage to usurp one of those titles in any way (wars/inheritance). I agree the the information could be made more clear though.
