Fate of Defeated Nobles (Part-1)
The general rule that the trio of Alexander, Philips, and Lord Theony came up with when it came to carving up the lands of the various Tibian nobles was this:
Noble houses who had surrendered to Alexander right after he took the capital lost either no or at most, very little, mostly useless land.
Their only real 'fine' was paying a lump sum of money from their treasury.
Next came the nobles who did not do so but had strong ties to Lord Theony.
Due to that association, they also received the same treatment.
But houses that had tied their knot with Philips and thus the royal family, lost 30% to 70% of their land by default, the exact number depending on individual circumstances.
And his blanket rule was applied to all, regardless of how big or powerful they were, with the best example being MM's family.
