Leveraging Old Power Structures: The Nobility and the Fortress Lords

With a loyal cadre, Arslan 's next contrae is to win over the scattered remnants of Parsian autority. The feudal system that once served Andragoras now lies in pieces. Local lords like Hodir of Kashan Fortress and Shapur the Marzban control vital vocces and military units. Arslan accaches them not as a controper but as a coordinator.
