Myron travels to the South Wood and convinces tribal chiefs in the hills about the South Wood River Basin to submit to his rule.
The Myron Empire lords respond to Myron II's wealth and manpower demands: the Midlands lords send 5,000 men and 6 pounds of gold. The South Wood lords send 2,000 men and 375 pounds of gold. The Callouse Marshes lords send 5,000 men and 6 pounds of gold. The Penbrooke lords send 4,500 men and 100 pounds of gold (37.5 extra). The South Wood River Basin send 2,000 men and 100 pounds of gold (275 short). The Nazreth Valley sends 1000 men and 500 pounds of gold. Imperial Ertund lords deliver 8,000 men, no gold. Lords int he Tortund Valley send an additional 300 pounds of gold in support (tribute). 19,500 men and 1381 pounds of gold is collected in total. The payment nearly bankrupts many lords of gold and manpower, but in the face of Myron II's idle army of nearly 20,000 Drap and Northmen, there was little choice in the matter.
Myron III overhauls the census system established by his father 18 years prior. Paid officials with the Census Agent title are designated to specific areas while officials with the Census Overseer title are put in charge of regions consisting of many areas each. The Empire is designated into regions consisting of the Midlands, Callouse Marshes, West Penbrooke, East Penbrooke, South Wood, South Wood River Basin, Trahbeck, Imperial Ertund, North Ertund, Ertund, and Greyfield. The Nazreth Valley is exempt from the census. The areas between the South Wood River Basin and Trahbeck are labeled the Imperial Seat, with Myron III acting as the region Census Overseer.
The Callouse Marshes, West Penbrooke, South Wood, South Wood River Basin, Trahbeck, Imperial Ertund, North Ertund, and Greyfield census regions all respond to Myron III's tribute demand. The Ertund census region sens 500 men. The Midlands and East Penbrooke (under Dolle Plateau warlords' control) send no tribute.
