I was trying to get a reaction to gauge the temperature of the political tension. I got one. I would abstain from talking to Lord Thyvault about it for now, he's probably not inclined to mercy.

I asked him why he thinks using a tactic that involves throwing men to the slaughter will eventually work when it hasn't so far and is very unlikely to, given that he isn't an imbecile.

And so I asked him if he was hiding something from King Deimar. He did not like this one bit.

He did not deny it, mind. He thinks the king is foolish and he does not hesitate to speak out loud, to someone he doesn't even know.
