But what have Lad gained from having Naron?

They have lost quite a few soldiers in different types of massacres and liberation attempts over the years...
But that had nothing to do with Naron. The Black Wolf was from Xiria and the pirates were from Alenz Hills. If they hadn't attacked Naron then they would have attacked Lad. So Naron provided security, manpower (spawn city), as well as resources, and access to the sea.

So very correct...I don't think anyone realized that Naron was worth all the trouble the Empire went through for her and more.
As for takeovers in general I don't know of any (not even my own) that have really worked the way the were sopposed to, and other then Purple Tortuise I don't know of any that lasted more then 5 years and didn't accomplish much if anything during that time.
As for why they happen: For sh*ts and giggles for the most part I would guess, perssonally I like seeing how long I can keep someone alive that has the world against them. And when it comes to violent takeovers, well, if no one pays enough attention in a place to keep the ground free of steel weapons, iron shields, and keys then you gotta expect them to happen. How long and how many did it take to root that crazy woman out of Klojt?
