One of my notions is that Noish-Pa ends up being a better administrator of Szurke County than most other Dragaeran nobility. I get these visions of him lowering all his Teckla traditional tribute percentages to a mere fraction, resulting in a happy, healthy, prosperous region with a booming population and high tax revenues due to a robust economy. He'd probably pour all this extra wealth back into benefits for the commmoners, kicking the cycle into ever higher spirals. When Vlad comes back to claim his estate, he may find that he's become *very* rich indeed. But hey, there's always the chance that a jealous neighbor in a nearby county might try to stir up trouble for him, so things may not be all sweetness and light. Majikjon
