Rolan walked out of the battle and saw the terrified humans. In his mind, why would they be here? In such a place.
One old man, who was seen as an elder, approached him and thanked him.
"We are indebted with our lives to you. In turn, we offer allegiance. Please become our Lord!" he said in a shaky voice.
"Eh? Lord?" Rolan was surprised.
Rolan had arrived in the game and found a village. But! It was not a bad offer!

"Yes! Thank you so much! May we ask our Lord's name?" the elder asked politely.
"I am Rolan Alduin," Rolan bowed slightly.
"We should celebrate! Though we don't have much," the elder said in worry.
Rolan chuckled, "Don't force a celebration if we become starved as a result. Save up the food and we must survive."
Soon after, Rolan asked what was the current situation of the elder. They entered the tent where Rolan would rest in the meantime. They called it the Lord's tent. He was shaking in his posture as he put his weight on his staff.
"We have one day of ration to feed the village. After that, we will starve. Also, the village numbers are in the 200s. We will try to hunt for food," he said to him.
"Also, we only have houses. There are no other buildings currently," he said sadly.
"Please use these three boys to your liking. They will assist you," the three boys entered and introduced themselves.
"I am Frederick, one of the grandsons of the village elder Redrick,"
"I am Roderick, the eldest grandson of the village elder,"
"I am Eldrick, the youngest!"
"We will serve our Lord Rolan!" they chorused.
With the three, they soon were trained by Rolan in basic combat. They showed promise in their training.
It was then, Rolan gathered each one of them. All were commanded to line up.
"Everyone! I will evolve you all, so rest assured all will be catered!" Rolan said to them.
Yey!
Wohoo!
Yes! Finally!
They were happy and in glee. Some almost leapt in joy. Others even wept impromptu.
One by one, he cast Evolve on them and they all glowed. From their class as villagers, they became Tribal Villagers.
As Solomon explained, they were from Villagers and now to Tribal Villagers. Next evolution was one of the Tribes class, and then Tribal Masters, next to that were Tribal Grandmasters, and next Tribal Lords, then Tribal Overlords. Last were Tribal Warlords.
