Well, yes, honestly, he probably wouldn't be stupid enough to try and get the Bloody Raven's on his side, but I meant, if he openly rebels or anything; they'll be pounding down doors and out for his head in the same day.  :-) And provoking them into entering Theiri lands might be a bit more difficult than you'd imagine.<br/><br/>I do agree, though, that the coup would be an interesting story. Just make sure you collaborate with me before saying that the Raven's do anything.<br/><br/>Also, even if he has no honor, he needs to try to maintain the semblance of having it, otherwise he's going to lose the faith of the people. That'll get him killed sooner or later. Aserit, at least in my mind, aren't the kind of people that will blindly follow whoever's at the helm. More like wild horses. You can't get a bit and bridle in them, if you want to ride them, you've got to do it carefully, or they'll buck you off and trample you.
