Quoted By:
For now, the ore would be stored in a depot close to the village smithy, where it could be accessed for future crafting. You would be economical in your use of such resources, for you knew that there would come more war out here, in the heart of the desert, where the realms of man could only keep a cursory glance at most; you could keep in hiding and build up your strength and forces before coming out of hiding.
But for now, the cloak of sand dunes and bandits suits you well; your warband has been able to stamp out the remaining resistance to your rule, the dead have their heads on pikes, and the living now languish upon the cross. Now thou art the master of the immediate vicinity, and all in the villages and other settlements now pay you tribute.
Their captain is now in audience with you; his skin is hardened and baked. His eyes were squinty and flinty from camping in the desert sun. He had returned to you in triumph and had thrown the jewels of the seditious village elders at your feet.
<span class="mu-i"> <span class="mu-r"> ''Thou hast done well, captain most leal; thy service to thy god and thy nation is commendable.'' </span> </span> You announced it before your 'court', though calling it that when it comprised about four people might be going a bit too far.
But with the warband once more ready for action, you can begin to act upon your ambitions in full.
