Declan
After penning a sparsely detailed account of his night in the park, and noting that a few of the applicants still survive in a letter to his younger brother, Declan too, read a few of the history books obtained by the others and finds them disgustingly self serving. Well, that's obvious if you think about it. The royal family are not going to keep uncomplimentary books in their personal library, are they.
Declan seeks leave to visit the Temple of Abadar, on the pretext of priestly duties and general recovery. He is, however, aware that most Temples maintain a historical library and record of the region that is relatively independent of the politics of the day. The young man is desperately keen to know more of the old Kings, the heroes of the revolution and champions of the old king, and what events precipitated a change in the ruling family.
