Considering his contributions to the GRHH, including the construction of the county of Alos* and improvements to the southern nether lines, along with those to the server at large, I grant Alexander the rank of Count and all the privileges that accompany it.
With his new position, Alex chose to found an independent settlement in the south of the Empire as shown on the map below.

We journeyed a great distance over forested land,

placid sea,

and rivers, so many rivers,

to finally arrive at our destination,

a small village on a verdant plain sandwiched between grey crags and red spruce forests.

We wasted no time in securing the villagers against zombie attack and building a nether portal.

Now if there are no objections, Alexander would like to continue with his development. May his lands grow large and prosper.
