It's been a while since we saw the Crescian government, but last time we did, succession woes were in the air~ The Queen's sister and next in line to the throne was assassinated by two-toes in Sharteshane a few weeks ago. Immediately afterwards, the ruling council of nobles withdrew their support for the Queen's back-up heir, suggesting she come up with someone else. Now it sounds like they're not going to cooperate with her at all! This unprecedented move could leave the country in dire straits if something happens to Queen Sonorie...I know scenes like this aren't super popular but they're actually some of my favourite things to write. I like devising all these one-off characters and implying their relationships with each other through broad dialogue. Just little snippets of interesting people.I also love Chancellor Ufal who really just wants to go drink and dance and not be on the clock today or be attacked by monsters. That's a mood.
