I ended up swearing and oath to Sultin Hakim when the Sarranids were at a low point. So many lords had defected, and the sultanate was reduced to one city and and a few castles. I was soon made Marshal, and as a loyal servant to the Sultan I started reclaiming land. First city and a few castles I asked to be given to me, they were close to each other and in the sarranid homeland and a good power base for myself. Started taking more cities and castles even launching an invasion into Khergit territory. I have been asking no rewards, because quite frankly, we need more lords in the sultanate, that I as marshal can marshal . But the Sultan keeps trying to give them to me anyway, i refuse them, hoping that he will find a new lord to grant them to, but no luck, he is insisting that I should take them. There are other emirs in the realm, i am not sure why he is not granting it to them so they can at leas the responsible for the defense of the cities. Frankly it is getting tiring be responsible for every garrison. Is there any way to help the sultan attract new lords and get him to gran them land?
And dont tell me to rebel or anything, that Oath may not mean much to any of you, but I took it seriously.
