A chain of unfortunate accidents (the son of Duchess Manund falls into
enemy hands and accidentally dies -> the allied dukes become furious
because they had a bad morning anyway -> etc.), could lead to escalation
of the war. Another likely disaster would be famine (due to draught or
pestilence).

Slightly more sinister choice: an underlying sheet of Darkness surfaces,
mixes with drinking water in some of the cities, and drives half of the
population raving madmen. (lesson: don't drink water, drink wine).  
(business opportunity: some enterprising young men/mages store the water
in tightly sealed bottles for future use...)

The choices are: war, famine, or the Black Well Water (tm). Joel, you're 
the GM, so you get to choose :)
