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.

Alexander's much lower offer of the goods to the Adhanian nobles was of course to be expected.

Why would these nobles get the same privileges as the original?

And thankfully all of the news ones understood this, accepting the conditions without raising any objections.

Many were even pleased that they got anything at all.

But though the Zanzan nobles were able to be handled with such ease, the Tibians one proved far more difficult.

Even just gathering them in time proved to be quite difficult as even though Alexander had set the deadline to before September, many of the nobles were unable to arrive in time- be it due to the poor roads, the problem of raising enough cash for the ransoms, the attention demanded of them for the spring harvest or just simply receiving the call from Alexander late.

So Alexander could do little but patiently wait for the nobles to gather.
