Pretty meaty page, though a lot of it is between the lines. Roger didn't want to marry a woman and his family made sure he suffered for it. I think we can presume his parents had a lot invested in him. I think we can also gather that even the rich and privileged in Alderode are expected to conform to society.

What the hell is "The Red Cost?" That's never been mentioned before.

Vampire's main gripe with Alderode seems to be its stifling control over its citizens. Though he's certainly enjoyed at least a fair chunk of those "four centuries" granted to the "red fleshed." Hypocrite? Or has it just taken him this long to make any real progress with his revolution?
