I think if the Aserit queen does get murdered in the castle, both the Theiri queen and the Aserit king would have to be complete fools not to exile San--or at the very least, pay him to leave. Even if the crime is done perfectly and there's no evidence it was him, he's such an obvious suspect. And there's tons of risk and almost zero benefit to keeping him around after that happens.<br/><br/>I'm definitely not saying I want the character gone--San certainly makes things more interesting. But if we have to force ourselves to write completely out of character just to keep him around then it'll be a problem for the game.<br/><br/>It's especially bad for Lyssa because it would draw suspicion on the king's death when there would otherwise be none. Two royals drop dead in a matter of days and people are going to be looking at both incidents a lot more closely.
