"Additionally, the newly formed noble council claims it will join the Baron Alliance led by Viscount Winchester."
"They have also announced that for the time being they will cease all city trade, abolish the guild system, and cancel the citizenship of all."
Lady Alice explained, "In the vast western territories of Ambros, most are towns and villages, while the eastern territories are dominated by mountains and plains. The Baron’s territories are dominant there, and it is these Barons who have come together to form Viscount Winchester’s faction."
