Svetovida Sviatislav arrives in the city of Carthage with her troops and takes up residence in her annex to the Imperial Palace. She sets about making friends at court and finding positions of influence for her Chiefs. She seeks a private audience with Julian at the next opportunity.
She also makes inquiries with the imperial smithies and armourers about the purchase of swords, spears, bows, shields and armour sets.

The Tysoti already have some of the finest examples of Roman weaponry available, though stolen, but the peoples of Romanised north Africa are all happy to service the needs of the new foederati, in maintaining their equipment, and adjusting armour fits where necessary. When ruling over a Roman population, it will be possible for Svetovida to recruit units with Roman equipment. Without the need to settle a vast tribe, and with imperial favour, Svetovida will find the local inhabitants and craftsmen largely friendly and cooperative, and her own thousand Tysoti will have access to military supplies from Julian at Carthage, being on the books as Roman soldiers.
Julian plans on holding a 'diplomatic triumph' to celebrate the peaceful restoration of Africa, and invites the Tysoti to march in the procession. Svetovida may be granted a private audience with Julian that evening.
