LINCHPIN (3)

After the coronation even the fighting spirits of the lords in the east and west dulled down and probably at last they made their mind to acknowledge Arial instead of fighting a losing battle, and prolonging the devastation.

They became Arial men and honoured by the gifts that Arial granted them as they received again their lands and nobility titles but Arial had said to these lords that he will redraw back the borders and the name of each region to be consolidated into the new Empire.

Other chief men from the south also submitted and received their lands and honours again. 

It became Arial policy in his early rule in a region so foreign to him to act as Emperor even where he had no means of carrying out his Imperial orders.
