Lord is not spawning in my first castle

[joejccva71]

I was going through the walkthrough and I have 260 troops (in a few patrols), I own one of the castles from the Rhodoks but something strange.  I've built the barracks, the practice range, prison tower, and messenger post, however the walkthrough says to wait in your castle for your Lord to spawn but he hasn't yet.  How long does it take for a Lord to spawn?  The strange thing is I don't have a personal Lord yet, but my castle is garrissoning troops from the nearby village. 

Another thing is I've already been voted on to be the marshall of Swadia and won.  I can give any current Lord an order, but I can't assign my castle to a Lord.  Not sure whats going on.

Edit: I also get this error in the game:

"SCRIPT ERROR ON OPCODE 2324: Invalid Troop ID -1: Line NO: 121
At simple trigger trigger NO 102"


Any idea what this means?  It only has given me that error since I got my castle and started getting troops garrisonned.

I figured out that I needed to leave being a vassal to Swad, and just take over my own castle.  But I still don't have a Lord yet, and I've waited days in my castle.  Aren't Lords supposed to spawn?  Do I need to take a second castle first before I get to see a Lord?

Someone please advise.

Thanks.

You talk to one of your council members (i think its Chancellor, but not sure). He recruits lords, you tell him you want to recruit a lord and one appears a couple of days after.

When i took a castle at first, i wasn't given the option to recruit lords, because you need a fief to give away too. But you only have 1 fief, and 1 castle. You need the fief, as you always need a fief, but you also need a castle or town under your personal control to act as the capital. So you need both the fief and the castle, and no lord is going to join you if he gets no land.

Take another castle, and you will have the option to recruit a Lord, and then give him one of them. Beware that if you give away a castle that contains your garrison, you lose those troops, instead they begin to be controlled by the owner of the castle.

Ah ok.  I was under the impression from the FAQ that a Lord was supposed to spawn in your first castle.  Thank you very much for your help.
