With the plans drawn up for the new land ownerships Odenus sat back. It had been a long three hours and all of the great houses had wanted to put a fortune so as to gain the largest possible property, in the end two of the houses had large plots of land to the north and east whilst the other families had to suffice with the rest broken up into holdings. Promises also had to be made of more land to be given when other islands had been landed. However the other tribes would be wary of such fast growth and so he drafted a message to be sent to all tribes. The message read as follows.

[quote]To the glorious leaders or representatives of the western tribes.
We, the Draki, have a long and noble history in these waters, our flotilla used to be the true power and trade bustled from all ports. However with the rise of the Marian Empire our islands and our navy was taken from us. We call you to Starharbour to feast and make merriment whilst we explain to you the plans we have for the islands. We hope to hear from you shortly and make preparation for your arrival.
Odenus Setrupus, chief of the Draki.[/quote]

With the message finished he rolled up each one and sealed it with wax in the royal seal fo the Draki, A dragon rising out of waves. Next he looked over the plans for raising of new ships. Currently the fleet numbered only 5 triremes however with these plans passed and the new resources brought in from the expansion the fleet would be quickly grown to 20 tiremes and a new Quinquereme style ship to act as a flag ship. FInally two new tanker ships were to be crafted as this would allow for the mass transportation of goods and settlers onto the new islands. Each new order was sealed and signed before a courier arrived to take them away. It had been a long day and Odenus was exhausted he was about to douse his lamp when there was another knock on the door. Three knocks. State business, shifting in his chair Odenus shouted enter and waited to see what other pieces of paper required his attention.
