After a while, the five courtiers entered Faustus' quarters. "You called for us, my liege?" Scitus, the steward, asked.

"Yes, Scitus," Faustus said. "It is time we discussed what's next. Anvil may have bent its knee, but the Gold Coast does not yet answer to me. That needs to change."

"How do you suggest we do that?" Marshal Audax spoke.

"If we take Fort Strand, Crowhaven and Gweden, we will control all important locations along the Gold Coast," Faustus said while pointing at the three places on the map of western Cyrodiil on his table. "The smaller settlements will follow along with them. They will not even think of resisting if there are no cities to hide behind."

"Are you sure that's wise?" Chancellor Flavius said. "The rulers of Kvatch will not like such expansion in their direction."

"Kvatch will have to deal with it. It is not their territory anyway."

"Very well," Audax said. "I propose we take Fort Strand first. It is the closest, and a fort is a useful strategic location to control. After that, we can push on towards Gweden. I shall send 300 of our men."

"Also send twenty of the Golden Dragoons with our forces. Their presence should shatter the morale of the defendinf soldiers," Faustus said, before gesturing towards the door. "Thank you, gentlemen. You are dismissed."

The courtiers bow, and leave the room.
