Visiting The Port

Alexander felt the concerns about the trading guild to be premature.

Whether they were a credible threat or not, they were years away, and so rather than decide their fate right here and now, felt he could wait and see.

So, instead, he turned his attention to figuring out how Perseus's failure to take Zanzan had affected Tibian society.

"About that….I did try to find out in a roundabout way. I asked the son if the people there would not like because of the recent war, and all the deaths."

"And his answer seems to be one of relative ambivalence, saying most of the people might not be happy to see me but would not be too aggressive either."

"It appears that though the nobles and the people are not happy with the loss, they are also not in any mood to rebel or even oppose the king."

"Most people seem to have never really thought taking Zanzan was possible, and so even when the king returned with only half his army, they just shrugged and accepted it."
