Avalon better account for the Bloody Raven's wanting to rip his head off if he tries a coup. They're bound several different ways by oaths. Oath of Loyalty to their country, to their king, and to their commander (Henrik).  Even if Avalon could argue that he's  better for their country, he'd still be up against two oaths... not good ground, especially when most of them think of each other as a big family, with Henrik being another brother-in-arms (He sleeps, dines, and lives with his men, on the field or off.).<br/><br/>Hell, if anything happens in Theiri, the Aserit's Regular Military forces wouldn't even get mobilized; it's the Bloody Raven's that would move out in full force.<br/><br/>Also, MagicalPen: What you have done is absolutely<em>beautiful</em>.  ;D Double thumbs up.
