Noble and administrative title.
1The zupan tending the keep and fief wouldn't be available until midafternoon.
2But the zupan would not be satisfied with a voyeur's view.
3They were likely no more than locals engaged by the zupan.
4I'm Cadell, overseer of this fief and zupan to one of its clans.
5Wynn shook her head and looked up, but not at the zupan's son.
6The zupan's bristly brows wrinkled in a frown.
7Wynn seemed charmed and relieved that the zupan's son had formally asked her if she spoke Belaskian.
8The zupan had backed up against the common cottage door, eyes wide, but he remained outside, watching.
9Our zupan, Cadell, was appointed as overseer.
10Standing in the cottage doorway, the zupan clapped his hands over his ears against the painful clamor.
11Then a lanky, middle-aged man stepped from the corner of the room to face the zupan squarely.
12Wynn recoiled at the zupan's words.
13As the zupan watched in stunned silence, Magiere pulled a rope and dusty canvas out of her pack.
14The zupan shouted, "There, to your left!"
15An expectant sigh slipped through her lips as she wondered what this zupan would be like- acold ,hardsell she hoped.
16It took some convincing, but once Leesil showed the zupan the wall's structure, Cadell was reasonably convinced it was safe to break it open.
