Frostbound

With our decision made, it wasn't hard to stake our claim on the area we wanted. Bing among the first to chose helped matters and those in the same ring as us didn't care to fight us over it as they had other spots they favored. No one outside the first ring was given much of a chance to challenge Marcus and I over it.

Some tried to holler or shout but they were ignored.

I waited to see where everyone else who made their way to the front picked but didn't stick around for the masses.

I would get an updated map later as I had better things to do.

The Admiral and a few of the other Faction Leaders that fell under his banner chose to defend the South. Liam, the suspected Baron from Boston, and Zuri, from New York, chose sections close to The Admiral putting three Baron level people in that one cardinal direction.

My fellow Canadian, and her accompanying duo chose the West with Sections all right next to each other. Jayla from Mountainside in the center with Travis and Devin on either side. Nick, with his fancy lightning robe, picked the North along with Vernon from Orleans and Vanessa from Eternal Flame Falls.

We had another Baron level join us and he had picked his section with similar reasons as our own. Patrick Staffords, along with the rest of the Great Lakes alliance would be in the East with us. They picked a section further to the South and there were a few Factions that would squeeze in between us, but we wouldn't hold the East alone.

The last of who I suspected were Barons, Mikayla Stuart, from the Heartlands Alliance, and Irwin, from the aptly named Bayou Faction, chose the Northwest and Southwest.

With those people having chosen, it was the rest of those who gathered to do so but that wasn't all. Another reason I wasn't touching the role of 'organizer' was that he would have to go around to every Faction and Group that wasn't invited to the meeting and tell them where to go.

They'd most likely be used to fill in gaps or reinforce weaker factions with a bold enough leader to attend even though they weren't Nobles or had significant strength.

There was also the need to coordinate everything and that was a massive undertaking in its own right. Marking out on the site where one section started and ended. Double checking everywhere had either the same amount of people or an equal amount of strength.

Even though my trust in people wasn't high, I doubted the Admiral would blunder his chance to gain recognition. That fact he was so heavily pushing for it and he would utterly fail if he messed up was more reassuring than if it was only death on the line.
