The investment

I then thought of a good way to increase the army of winter hold I hired people to be recruits to the guard. Their wood be a Fort built at the road out of winter hold.

They would conduct taxes for entering winter hold and conduct checks of the merchandise coming in.

This would be 30.000 gold for a small border camp Fort.

I got reports to me in the capital city of winter hold that high elf ship are on the way.
