The large stone roundhouse, with its thatched roof and aged surface was rarely what most people thought a king receiving tribute from all over the world would live. Brought in by luxurious carriage and forty armed warriors, the tribute was delivered strait to the door and brought in by the soldiers. The roundhouse’s giant doors are firmly shut against the autumn chill; a single man sized portal was opened to allow entrance. Upon entering, you step into the Great Hall which takes up fully half of the roundhouse and can fit 200 people. On display is the wealth of the world. Tapestries and carpets, sofas and pillows, tables and sculptures from every corner of the world laid out side by side. Though chaotic at first glance, there is a beauty to it. The warlord’s throne sits opposing the door on the far side of the hall. The gifts are set in an organized pile to the far right corner away from the door. Upon entering all footwear is removed, and women are seated on couches next to the luxuries waiting to be viewed.
Today Erik is busy with paperwork and going over it with a beautiful raven haired scribe. She sits behind a massive, ornately carved, oaken desk. He does not seem to pay the guards carrying the tribute or the escorted women any heed.
