Dividing the Spoils

Traditionally when integrating new lands the right to tax certain areas or use their pastures for grazing is divided among those of our leading clans who helped during recent wars. There are however two clans vying for the rights to the prestigious state. One has served us well for many years but does not actually have much of a presence in the area. The other has a strong local presence but is otherwise without much influence and power in our federation.
