Rites
The Besieged Keep
The refuge you and Raed had carved out was growing famous, which is a sanctuary for the homeless, the unprotected, and those without papers. Word spread, and what began as mercy soon looked like a prize to be taken. Gangs, nobles, and Cultist all began to sniff around, unhappy at losing the easy prey they once used at will. Trouble was coming from every quarter.

In the end, it all still came down to money.Bribing the high constables, buying extra land, hiring mercenaries to maintain order, sending accountants, engaging negotiators to smooth relations... and finally paying a hefty tax—this place had practically become a noble estate under the Sultan's law.
Raed didn't know how to properly thank you. She understood that everything you'd done went far beyond what any one person could consider an act of charity—and no matter what motives you might have, she was willing to stand by your side.

Action:
But you hadn't quite used the right approach.You summoned Raed and told her: the vagrants didn't lack money—they lacked genuine, local support... and she had a way to solve that problem. She had simply forgotten one thing: that she was a princess.
Hearing this, Raed erupted in anger, but quickly calmed herself. What should I do? she wondered. If it's for the sake of the vagrants, I'll do anything!
