## Greater Sevendor

In recognition of *Minalan’s* lawful conquest of the five domains of Greater Sevendor and to reward him for blunting the Gurvani invasion of Alshar, *King Rard* awarded two new domains to Minalan and elevated Minalan to a Baron.

> *“In the coming days we will no doubt have need of his sword and staff again, but for now it is my pleasure to honor him, both with these fair lands,” he said, handing over two scrolls to his herald, “but also by raising him in title. Henceforth let Magelord Minalan called the Spellmonger be known as Baron Minalan of the Barony of Sevendor, inclusive of all of his domains, present and future, and my representative over them as subjects.”*

The domains outside of the Sevendor Vale became known as Greater Sevendor to the residents.

## Amelwood Wood

The domain is small strip of wooded land that lies in the rolling foothills of the Sashtalia Confederation, it has a small village and a rustic manor, once it had a thriving lumbering operation, but when the local domains reduced their need for wood, times became very difficult for the people. Minalan and Alya visit the domain during Enchanter where they reduce the taxes their new subjects have to pay; they also discover that the Ameli have many talented musicians. Minalan decided that he would like two Ameli musicians to attend Sevendor Castle at all times, to be paid for by the Barony. During the visit Alya demonstrated her skill as Baroness, by not only being able to confidently converse with many of the local people, but also gain their respect and cultivate their loyalty toward Sevendor.

## **The Wall of Gold**

Both Baroness Alya and Baron Minalan were concerned that Sendaria’s war with Sashtalia would bring the conflict to the borders of Sevendor. During *Enchanter* Minalan tasked Sir Festaran to negotiate with six bordering domains in Sashtalia and bought their loyalty out right, as Minalan states,

> *And that’s how I bought my way out of a war and increased my barony by a third. It became known as the Spellmonger’s Wall of Gold, and it proved decisive in the outcome of the war. It was designed as a cheap way to keep me from having to go to war.*
