At dinner that night, Alzar is greeted by an offer from the locals to take over Saffir and the surrounding area and to add it to his County. Alzar agrees. Alzar uses the gold and platinum to finish the castle, and then gives the remaining to the town.
The castle has 17 weeks left to be finished. It’s smaller than some of Alzar, but very well built. Alzar meets some of the local businesses like the Blue Feather Tavern and Mendel’s Alchemist Shop.
The loyalists of Krasily have fled and Alzar checks out the garrison. They have 12 full grown griffons that have been trained to be used in battle, plus another 15 soldiers that can use them. There are a few horses and such as well, and Alzar checks in on the barracks and such. He uses his County’s treasury to help build a new temple as well, and then find the old priest of the local one, named Yancey, in the jails beneath the city hall.
Alzar annexes Saffir and the surrounding hex, as well as the small coastal strip, about one to two miles wide, to the east for about 25 miles of here. Alzar sends notice to King Ericall, but does not ask permission, he merely explains what happens, and that the people officially asked to join his county. This is an enfeoffment.
