Waking up inside the ruins of an orphanage, Alexander finds himself chained and sold to slavery.
A modern metallurgist, trapped in ancient times, watch as he tries to play with the cards fate dealt him.
He will make plate armor, invent paper, build roads, teach governance and many more, as he tries to carve a place for himself.
But how can such things not attract jealous eyes?
The naval superpower- Cantagena,
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.

Herald of Steel

As Lord Janus was unable to accurately answer why Lady Miranda had chosen to ally herself with the Heeat family, Alexander could only make educated guesses.

Perhaps her family had previous dealings with them.

Perhaps they had reached some kind of deal with regard to the family's debt.

Or perhaps they were the only ones willing to make a deal with the Margraves in the first place.

Whichever the answers were, Alexander would have to wait till he met the lady of the house.

For now, though, he returned his attention to Lord Janus, who was still answering his questions,

"As for Miss Linda's husband, Lord Parker, I'm afraid I have already told you all that I knew, my lord. Recently, I have been busy managing my own fiefs, so have not interacted with the family much."

"But I can tell you about why the family is leaving the Marsh Ducal family. Following their house's head- Lord March's death, the Marsh family is currently in tatters."
