How do Aldred and his companions keep the army from becoming a serious nuisance to their rule, starting fights etc because 200,000 fighting men with nothing to do is a serious problem? How do they deploy them; split them up and they become a tempting target for one of the Royal Satraps to attack but keep them together and they could lay waste the land and cause famine. Next I would have some religious movement appear amongst the Sharnu; a sort of return to the old times. Perhaps, once the Sharnu worshipped a nastier and more powerful god but this worship was later outlawed and the capitol city left to fall into ruins and moved to the present place (like happened in the reign of Ahkenarten, father of Tutenkhamon in Egypt). Now, huge numbers begin making pilgrimages to the old capitol in hope of bringing back the old order, lead by a mysterious "prophet" who whips up anti-Vallorean sentiment and yet who cannot be killed without causing an outright rebellion. Finally, the remaining Royal Satraps will not just accept the rule of these foreigners, yet openly opposing them would be foolish, and so they try to form alliances with each other, with the Giants of Marghan and perhaps the dwarves as well. The PCs must stop and divide them before they form a force powerful enough to undo the occupation.</blockquote>
