Neonidas had been occupied for several days with organizing and changing the city and lands governed by Marquis Alexsaz as he saw fit. Some vacant positions needed to be filled, and as far as Neonidas could remember, one of the barons attached to the Marquise Alexsaz was quite talented and would later play a small role in the story . After some research, he found this young baron. The baron was the lord of a village established around a lake, a little outside the city. After sending him several letters, Neonidas demanded that he serve him in exchange for an elevation of his noble title.
