Alzar heads to the feast and meets with King Jarvik of Oceansend, and gets in some nice time with him. Alzar has more respect for Jarvik, but Jarvik is older, and has been a leader for a lot longer.
As the feasts winds up, and entertainers shift and the tournaments end, there are a lot of fun things happening here and there.
All 18 candidates were given Baronies around the kingdoms.
As the feast comes to an end, Alzar begins to hire local soldiers, some boats, and supplies to take over. He has been teleporting there and back every day to set up various outlets. There are no major buildings in any of these areas, no forts, towers, fortresses, keeps, castles, and so forth. A few of the villages have simple palisades, and that’s about it. This is true wilderness. These people have had large amounts of emigration over the years due to a lack of protection and defenses. Now the death rate will hopefully subside, and this is a nice place, along the coast, to relocate. In fact, the place Alzar has chosen as his capital in on the trade route into the Great Bay, and is one of the points of defense there. It’s a good location for future trade and expansion, and he’s already had people working on expanding the docks there and building an inn.
The feast ends, and the first month has ended. Oaths are sworn. Before he heads out and picks up castle building supplies, he gets some advisers and engineers form the King that helped with Alpha, because he needs to make his hoard a lot more defensive in nature than the other Barons and their first buildings, due to the strategic and military importance of the project.
Alzar is using his innate ESP ability, and his spells (such as Detect Lie from the Bright Barrier) and such, to ensure loyalty among the people he hires.
