There's no such thing as enough nobles. 
I don't even want to think about the tax rates I could've been running under the old system with the nobles we currently have. Makes me sad...
So anyway, yes! Come to Thalmarkin! Land of glory and manhood, frozen ales, frozen flames and some very good women too!
And about those estate sizes... everything is bigger in Thalmarkin. And let's be honest, you can either deal with ruling over thousands of peasants or you can get your taxes from 3 donkeys and a humpback who you'll never even see or smell on your giant estate.
Thalmarkin is like the Persian horde of the north and Melhed are like the 300 Spartans holding in Thermopylae aka Bil Havil-Tepmona. Be part of the horde or be a grizzly spartan BAMF.
