I said nothing about helping where we could. The group always has. In Taravast, we learned through investigation that the leader was killing countless servants to extend his own life. This same leader had an agreement with the Brotherhood to spare their city from attack while they supplied the undead army with weapons. Even then, our group only brought the information to light. Those with power took control of the situation from that point forward.

( And Vannozza herself beheaded the leader in vengeance for what he had done to the city and to her, and her cousin was placed in charge, and the city now rebuilds. )

But we certainly should not be influencing votes in the Senate without knowing what exactly we are influencing. We will not remain - those in the city will have to deal with the consequences of handing their army over.
