March rolled in, and so did the reports of only minor issues in his kingdom, though they did get a couple reports of barbarians moving across the borders in large groups, but they were moving toward Pitax. Further reports said they appeared to be standard barbarian raiders that weren't engage in raiding, which made Devaguea's scales itch. Still, he moved some of the troops that weren't actively tasked to the northern cities, and focused the kingdom on fortifying the northern borders and cities. That this also reinforced him from any raids from Pitax's direction was merely a bonus.<br/><br/>Sadly, despite the fact there was still snow on the ground, it was also time to get the mapping done in the northern highlands. He wanted a fort built out there soon, and if there was anything useful out there, he wanted to know about it.
