Wealth is a lot of things.
But wealth is also situational.
Does a wealthy man own a large swath of land he doesnt have the forces to patrol?
If he has the forces to patrol it, is he actually in charge of them?
For how long?
Whats their price?
How much attrition are they willing to suffer before they name their price?
While the last argument of kings and common men, shines like a new dawn, eternal, and golden, the conclusion must be that force and the perception of force rule all, while wealth is only the shadow of merit, standing before a blazing noon beneath a black sun.
