Blood and Marble (event)
Screams and the sounds of battle continue to echo through the palace as I am leaving, stepping over the fine, but bloodied silken robe of yet another dead member of the Conclave. Out on the streets, others are being publically summarily tried and promptly executed, the crowds cheering them on. Those not in Oraispol are unlikely to meet a much better end - I have already dispatched regiments to their estates in Etepezea for them to be dealt with.
This bloody spectacle is unlikely to be forgotten soon, both for the better and the worse. I have earned both the enmity and fear of many, and I can't help but wonder - was this truly the only way? Is this not the exact thing Rhesus himself would do?
There is one more person we need to visit...
