As ByzCrusader said, probably the Aiel War, since we'd need less event support to make it work and it can be used as a basic gameplay test mark. If--and I do stress "if"--we do bookmarks prior to Malkier's fall, it will be playable as normal. Otherwise there will be some sort of reclamation mechanic for it.
have a look at the Britannia: The Winter King mod and their event-shifted de jure territories, it's exactly what you want
No. It should be possible to re-claim Malkier even BEFORE Tarmon Gai'don. If a Shienar army had been able to somehow defeat the Blight near Tarwin's Gap, they would have given the land to Lan without bliking, as they are honor-bound to do so.
the events are triggered by the creation of titular titles, which then turn them de jure. In the Britannia mod, this is used so that for example the British and the Saxons can have different de jure layouts. The way I see it working in the WoT mod is that Malkier is de jure part of The Blight, but if a character of Malkieri or Shienari culture (or however you're going to divide up cultures) holds Tarwin's Gap, they can create the titular Kingdom of Malkier, and then the event triggers to make Malkier de jure. This prevents the Dark One from creating the kingdom of Malkier himself when he holds it
Yes, this is possible. By giving them a titular duchy with no landed titles they can move from place to place at will and yet still be titled and have their own courts. We were thinking of using this as a Forsaken mechanic, although the ins and outs of that haven't been finalized yet. How this would help the situation in the Blight I'm not quite sure.
We have one now, it just got set up.
When TOG releases it'll probably be an event chain somewhere in the DLC content. It allows landless nobility or those with claims on titles to gather up armies to take land. We can use it to model Lan rallying the Malkieri very well--in fact, the game will probably do it for us without us having to raise a finger.
