A village can't be a village without people and Alayna wanted the place to look very lively as soon as possible.
There were so many things that she needed to do before opening the village to the public. As she was the owner of the village, no government in the future will take this place from her. the village was like a small independent country and whatever rules she comes up with were all legit.
Alayna had great plans for the village and the first thing on the agenda was to buy slaves that will work solely for her and help improve the overall welfare of the village.
These slaves will become the first villagers of Athalia and as long as they work hard and contribute well to the village, she will give them back their freedom and let them live freely.
She was also expecting that the village itself will attract a lot of people over and she couldn't wait for that to happen.
