Aeryon does not delude himself. Ayera has spies
Her own spies that she developed from her loyal retainers in the Utgard tribe. This secluded and guarded area is also good for her to hide her conspirators.
"there is truly many things that I let slide" Aeryon thought to himself.
It was full of silk, there is gold threaded carpet from the far east and perfumes from the lands of Roma, full of luxury
At the center of this area is a raised platform with a curtain.
This is a place where she would receive her audience.
There is no culture of the wife of the chief to sit behind a curtain throne.
And there is probably no wife of the chief have such a luxurious court in all of the Steppe.
Ayera probably emulated the Empresses of the empires around the Steppe. Aeryon is not mad. Instead, he is happy.
Aeryon stance on other cultures have always been these motto.
Take the good and throw out the bad. What he could integrate, he would integrate. What he could not, he would not force it
