I have an idea. David answered many of my questions.

Oliver's animosity towards me was born out of a mutual regard for one person. After the Hanged Man...passed, Oliver didn't pay me any mind. However, if he did assume control, I would still feel much the same as I do now.

I am uncomfortable with changes in authority and the chaos that tends to follow it. My world was upended when it came time for power to change hands. Men, women, children died because of it. Too often the innocent suffer and the realm fractures.

The politics of this world are unclear to me and I have never seen what happens when a new Magistrate is created. My previous experience in regards to new leaders will always color my view.
