Winter Months End The Third Year

Regarding the doubts Alexander had about the intel Lord Theony provided to him, they were quickly erased.

It made no sense because predicting what Alexander would do with it was so hard.

And even if they could, much of the information here was so precious, that the reward would not outweigh the loss.

As for suspecting the veracity of all the information, well fortunately, Alexander had a secondary source to verify many of them- Lord Ponticus's collection.

So Alexander had reasonable confidence to believe the unverified ones were also true.

And it was from them that Alexander learned some things more precious than nuggets of pure gold.
