Marshal Loren received a promotion, encompassing not only his military rank but also his noble title.
The title of Baron Frederick inherited from his mother was promoted to Earl by King Louis, but he didn't receive any lands with it.
This was not due to the king's lack of generosity, but because Marshal Loren had half-dwarf blood. Even though the king trusted him greatly, giving lands to a person of mixed blood might cause unnecessary waves in the future.
Besides, silver dwarfs already have extensive ancestral lands in West Lan Kingdom.
Despite Marshal Loren's profound hatred for his irresponsible dwarf father, as the grandson of the supreme duke of the Silver Dwarfs, the "hereditary lands" he owned in the mountains near Silver Fort were much richer than those of an average human earl.
