As soon the Roman legion of 100 000 men were allowed to stay in Illyria under the command of centurion Proximo, they settled them self in the barracks outside the capital city. All of them had only come to secure the land, as also to make sure no uprising would start. However Proximo would not stay with the soldiers as stationed they were outside the city, he himself would stay inside close to the roman lady named Felicita. As he often was to guard her, he at times probably would check on the men from time to time, but as he would not be there at times another would have control. In turn the legionaries would guard the base night and day, checking if everything was alright. Around the barracks a wooden wall were built, along high towers that kept watch over the land.

Vanora ventured out of the castle one clear afternoon, eager for the first breaths of fresh air. She saddled up her golden horse, Morning, and galloped off into the royal grounds. As Morning's hooves beat rhythmically on the ground Vanora shook out her long dark tresses of hair in the wind, feeling more free and unharnessed than when she was locked away in the castle. As she galloped she saw something on the horizon... A camp of people? Vanora needed to get closer to see. They didn't look like enemies.. Finally she approached, feeling very brass and confident. She didn't speak but only looked onto the people in the group.

Inside the garrison the Romans had started to make them self comfortable, it was not the best they had seen but it would be improved. With wood and other equipments which was taken along, they sonly started to set it up. A wall of tree pikes were ordered to be set up around the barracks, although the ground was difficult with all kinds of stones that laid below. With some time of work it would be possible, thought time it would take. Proximo who still was in the camp, saw the lady watched from distance. He had not gone to the palace yet, specially since much were to be done. However with the sight by the woman in front of him, he waved and spoke."Hello there, may I help you with something?"He asked, wondering why she stood watching them.
As the men inside prepared everything to get wealthy and look good, they figured that if water was needed then everyone would need to go somewhere else to get it. Probably either inside the city, or the river close by. However much water they already have taken along, as also food was brought in basket and wagons.

Vanora looked down on the men from her mare. "What business do you gentlemen have on these grounds?" she asked softly, but with a stern undertone. The men looked gruff and worn like soldiers, but one could never tell. They were stationed as if they were going to stay a while, and Vanora needed to know if they were a threat and if she needed to inform her father of these seemingly trespassing men. She just hoped they would not scoff at her commanding tone and give her reason to wield her blade. That would be a catastrophe....or so it seemed she thought sickly.

"Peacekeepers my lady, we have been stationed here to watch over these lands for better reinforcement."Proximo shouted kindly back in return as he walked to meet her, wondering who she was and why her questions were so demanding. Was she some sort of a high ranked woman, or just a worker who walked by. He did not know, but with words he would figure. As he approached, he stopped before her and spoke on."My name is Proximo, and these are my men. What is your name, if I may ask?"Proximo asked, interested in what she was doing there and what she wanted.
