Lord Janus's Fief

Alexander arrived at Lord Janus's fief, around 150 kilometers northeast of Caira in about two and a half days.

During their voyage, Alexander ordered the ships to stay literally within a kilometer of the nearby coast, just in case the weather suddenly turned bad. And this precaution let them avoid most of the trouble other than some small rough patches of seas.

The ships safely moored themselves along the slanted shores, letting Alexander quickly peer out of the decks to lay his sight on Lord Janus's fief for the first time.

It was akin to the ideal bucolic fief one would imagine when they thought of about the country- vast, open, swathes of land with only wooded highlands, periodically dotted with a few hatched huts off in the distance.
