In the meantime though, in these past weeks you've kept your eyes and ears open to potential talent. Mortals worthy of your personal attention, like the little group you gathered from Eindward.
<span class="mu-s">"We have only the books of the record room, within the castle, but in my own possession I have some historical texts of Menaji culture. By your wishes, your grace, I have based the renovations upon them."</span> addresses Henri, the educated young man. Though he has difficulty hobbling about with his cane, he is capable of directing others to difficult and delicate work. Furthermore he is interested in what knowledge you possess, and what books you might be able to pen.
<span class="mu-s">"Huhuhu... yes'm pretty lady..."</span> chortles Mary the ogress, a hulking brute of a woman. A farmer by trade, though usually she had been relied upon by folks in town for any odd jobs in need of massive strength. It's easy for you to charm her and she's willing to do whatever you want or need of her. And woman she is, being that ogres are not considered inhuman. Something of the younger sibling race to humanity, similar to how the inhumans have sub-races to themselves. Like the elves have their dark, and wild elven kin.
<span class="mu-s">"My place is the wilderness. I come to pay my respects to ye, on order of yer man Montez, but there's no place for me here."</span> mutters Claus, the forester. It used to be that he was the appointed huntsman for the nobility here, but after the elven invasions he simply remained out in the field and fought them in his own way. Similar to Montez, he isn't well suited for peaceful dwelling, but he's willing to follow your appointment if you have something(s) in mind.
So you have some new subordinates you could make use of as you see fit. Along with the others you are already managing. And to management itself, you could use the services of a chief advisor. Especially if much of your time is personally going to be spent working in the field to bring your divine favor to the land. A nobleman seems the best choice, if he has to be able to govern in your stead, so as much as you're reluctant to rely on him more... Darry seems the better choice available. He at least knows the ins and outs of socials and politics of this culture and these times, and he's shown capable of organizing and corralling people, appeasing and keeping people pacified. You would have opted for Sir Tyne, ever-reliable as he is, but because of his association with the church you feel that will be a cause for trouble, or at least confusion for people to have to balance your apparent godhood with the presence of the church.
So for now you can let Darry to manage things in your stead, when you need not be concerned with every minor detail or happening within the realm. You've got bigger matters to focus on, such as your personal investment in the land, the prospect of a partner or partners, and making a good impression to send the men of Hewe back with their arms full of supplies and support.
