<strong><em>Week Nine</em></strong><br/><br/>And the answer is yes!<br/><br/>Although none in the Manor District know much at all about Shanira's new ally, the woman herself holds more than enough sway to win the hearts and minds of the well to do and their servants! While Chevis and Morticia still enjoy their own followings here, the complete absence of the triple alliance coupled with Baron Trunkenhammer's abdication more than leaves Shanira Treyan the undisputed controller of the Manor District, with her ally of course.<br/><br/>What a story, the Manor folk exult! Although they aren't so worried about getting it exact and each time they retell it Shanira's victory over the Baron was more dominant. In some she grows the wings of an angel. In others her mace bursts into holy fire to signal that she is destined to rule!<br/><br/>Will any rise to challenge her? It appears unlikely unless something rather significant changes, and fast!
