Devaguea saw everyone off, and finished the negotiations, or what there were of them, in person. He did reveal that he was planning on announcing his ascension to royalty soon, and asked if they wanted to be part of the nation as the last to join before it was a true kingdom, or the first to join once the 'Lands of Mystery' became an actual kingdom with an actual name, rather than the placeholder that had been in use for five years. He then had to explain that the original name had been him trying to be humorous, and everyone had taken it literally.<br/><br/>He immediately suggested renaming the small town Numestown, though he did mention that it would likely take a couple months before he could shove his borders far enough to get to them. They did have more than thirty miles of barely explored terrain between his closest border and them, with the ancestors knowing what lived in the lands and few others.<br/><br/>The returning group and soldiers made a leisurely trip back to the capital, with the only known major problem in Lake Silverstep, Devaguea just wanted to get home, curl up on his nest in his lair and sleep for a week. Sadly, he would get maybe a couple hours before he had to get up, but it was nice to dream. Still, a good bit of the walking was spent chatting with the newest addition to his group, Lady Rusilkia Runemantle. Still a countess, but his kingdom wasn't going to use traditional ranks of nobility.<br/><br/>Once back in the capital, he reached out to Talia for an update, expecting a favorable report as the extra groups should have arrived already. Once that was done, he was selling the many, MANY magic items he had brought back, and getting ready to see what he could get for himself and others.
