The unstoppable army of- Exolas, 
The superpower of the east- Adhania,
The mercantile confederation- Sybarsis, 
The religious fanatics- Iyizarid, 
And the ever-present- Barbarians of the Barren Forrest,
All want something from each other.
In this ocean of sharks, follow a small carp as it struggles to leap through the dragon gate and establish a dynasty to outlast them all.

Alexander did not disagree over the extent of the challenges Uzak faced.


He would admit that he had set quite a high bar for the man, commissioning quite a few very large and long aqueducts simultaneously, and ordered the construction of a fair few number of large wells and fountains.


Alexander eventually wished to set a well for every hundred men in the city, and even though the current plans were much more modest, it seemed with the limited resources provided, Uzak was having a difficult time managing it.


And this was not his only sticking point, as aside from the lack of men to do the tedious digging, which the stonemason had frankly grown sick of, there was another point he kept Alexander hankering about.


"My lord, about the thing we discussed earlier, couldn't we use lead to make the water transporting pipes under any circumstances?" Uzak again made the request.
