I'm hoping that sharing his bread with those foals will come back to him in the future. Like he runs into those kids in the future or something and they remember his kindness and help him later on, I want to see interactions like that.
The world expands! :)
A welcome update, thanks.

Oh this world is far from being done for expansion, I hope you enjoy it as things continue to grow and expand.

Considering how vast the character base is who knows.
I've been reading this since around chapter 2-6 I don't remember but this is a great book. If you need any help i'd love to! Idea's, world building, a point in the right direction, proofreading, anything! Im also a history buff so if you want anything to be 'accurate' or at least realistic, weapons, armor anything I'd gladly help! either way amazing story i hope to see more! Also is Verik a Machiavellian?

Thank you and noted, I love history myself and like to blend the two but the world is basically built. All I am doing now is taking my time filling in the gaps as I go along. As for the other: spoilers. Maybe, maybe not.
Update?

The thing is, sword and plate armor were very expensive to manufacture and considered a privilege of the nobility. Wearing them in battle marked the user as an a high profile aka someone the enemy soldiers would want captured for ransom.

Actually capture and ransom only applied to nobility or those of "standing" as the average soldier never had a chance, it was feudalism which is basically a caste system. It was also not only the wearing of the armor that marked you as a target for others as either "kill or capture" but also your tabard or squire who bore your colors. If you marched around without markings odds were low they would take you alive as a man-at-arms had no value. Now the strutting peacock on the other hand...
I really like the pacing of this story, you are taking your time to flesh out the the individual zebras, the locations an the hell, that the locals are stuck in and it is great. So many fics here have zero world building and this one is a very nice change.
The main character avoiding the curse of Gary Stue is also nice. Keep them chapters going.

Glad you are enjoying the pacing, I too am no fan of stories where the character becomes a king in four chapters or the right hand of god in ten.
("If I ever grew to love a monster like Fareed I beg of you to kill me."). Damn! HA
Near the end, are these royals from another nation or nobility from one of the cities under Fareed's control?

That's true however interestingly enough the armor would be ransomed off in some cases if I remember correctly.

Labradian City State, not Fareed. You need to check the map and its key to understand what is going on and where, I included the information on how to find it in the prologue. If you do not read the map that comes with this story you will never understand as it holds all the names and locations as well as national information.
Yes, it is. Generational transfer of knowledge is one of civilization's hardest tasks, and it is the nature of technology to decay. Technology must be studiously maintained or it will be lost within a generation. We had the fortune of growing up in an era of massive technological advancement, so we have the misconception that technology just drives itself forward, but it doesn't.

No... Here is the full section:
"But what had caused the collapse? Knowledge is never "just forgotten" but something must first drive it back to the stone age first, was it the wars? Restriction of knowledge? None of them knew the answer however, it was just one more mystery lost to time."
One does not just forget how to irrigate or build something, when technology spreads around it winds up surviving somewhere either in mind or in an archive as it did in Rome after their collapse. You do not have to fastidiously maintain basic technology of this sort, these are NOT computers! Neither is he talking about tanks, jets, internal combustion engines, etc that are precision machines that require vast amounts of factories and logistics to maintain. Grab a shovel and go dig a ditch, it is not the same as maintaining nor building a computer from scratch.
You are comparing apples to oranges.

Adding this:
People drive technology but they must first have the know-how to do so. If someone else restricts that knowledge it is not forgotten but suppressed. Then again as stated: if you bomb someone into the stone age then a great deal will be lost but inevitably some knowledge will remain somewhere just waiting to be found. The nature of technology is that people RECORD it in some format such as clay tablets, carvings, scrolls, etc. Today we have user manuals, handbooks, etc. Different epoch of technology but it is the same principle, you will NEVER fully wipe out knowledge no matter how hard you try, it tends to live on somewhere.
So no, you can never "just forget" about how things work. It takes concerted effort to force a decline in technology.
