Certainly a place for her to eventually look for allies.Gods above yeah...I'm tempted to have her actually come from there, and having come to Waterdeep maybe a year before getting messed up by the hag, and giving her a mindset that encompasses all the lands under the Lord's Alliance, rather than just Waterdeep.Yeah, especially with the lords gaining more power  under an Open Lord that focused more on Big Picture stuff than on day to day governing.Yeah and someone who has seen people destroyed when the corruption of Skullport bubbles up to the surface might well have a chip on their shoulder toward the Masked Lords and their little blindspot.And the Open Lord took power mysteriously, and is an immortal demigod, basically. Terrifying, regardless of her intentions. That alone speaks to "there will be a revolution in this century". I mean, who is going to believe that she will ever relinquish power? Maybe the people who know her very closely on a personal level, and idealistic sycophants who trust her blindly, and that's about it.Trust me, I wish this was taking place in Neverwinter or Baldur's Gate.I'd love it if there were other characters from those cities in the campaign. We almost had a fire genasi Lafayette in the campiagn, whose mother was a noble efreeti merchant, and who was a charming and passionate individual who had some radical beliefs about her homeland (basically having an anti-capitalist scion of a powerful merchant in Amn is like having a revolutionary scion of great wealth and privilege in 1700's France), but she dropped out of the campaign.</blockquote>
