Some are settling in just fine, like Darry, Jean and Tyne. Darry has found his place in your nascent court as the representative Swifthawk Lord of Eindward, while Jean has found his place as new captain of the castle guard, and Tyne has devoted himself to restoring the church here in Bexley. Montez however easily becomes restless without conflict so occupies himself with patrols beyond Bexley, looking for any few remaining survivors as well as repelling elven scouts who keep coming back. Rene meanwhile is having difficulty adjusting because of his known and noticed quasi-god nature, and Zeni and Keely simply cannot adjust at all.
Fortunately the former, unwelcome though she is in town, is willing to act on your behalf traveling between towns. For now back and forth to Eindward for whatever you want or need, since she is familiar with that route. It's unfortunate to keep Zeni at a distance like that, but fallen in love with you as she has, she can tolerate a continued hermit life if you are part of it in some small way. As for Keely, well you'd had the desire to try and experiment with her disease and now have that chance. Among other ideas, one such was to perhaps mark or brand her in some way... well as painful as the idea is and best not to beat around the bush with such a method, so to speak, you feel confident that marking her with the divine symbol of the ankh should serve well. That method on its own may not have been effective, but using your own personal ankh taken directly from the underworld, using that to brand her... does seem to cure the plague in her, or at least seal it away within. Between that and your healing power, you should be able to help her finally overcome the disease you think.
Ah, but in the meantime you encounter a first real matter of leadership. Eventually, probably at the repelling of the elven siege, a group from Hewe makes the approach and seeks audience. A fellow border town under similar constant attack (albeit by the dragons, rather than elves), they were mainly coming to investigate if Bexley had fallen to the enemy, due to the lack of refugees they had expected. How they may come to perceive or accept the way things have changed here though, you in particular, you may have a hand in depending on how you react.
