Hello while playing Oblivion I started to wonder: why are they even counties in Cyrodiil; what are their purpose? In medieval Europe the reason for the feudal system was the lack of a working monetary system, the lord could not raise any army since he had nothing to pay them with, the solution was to give what had, land, to his servants, which became the nobility and in return the would raise armies for him. The monetary system appears to be working fine in Cyrodiil so my question is what does the emperor gain from the different counts/countesses in return for giving them land?
