[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 6248962, member: 63"] What it basically comes down to is, "Fey think differently than we do" and "Politicians do terrible things." To the Unseen Court, and to Asrabey, the common soldiers [i]do not matter[/i]. They can barely fathom why King Aodhan might be upset at the deaths of such insignificant individuals. For Asrabey, killing them is about as much of a problem as trampling someone's flower garden. He might apologize if it becomes an issue, but to him the soldiers are as easily replaced as some petunias. As for why Asrabey would be let go, he's practically an ambassador from the Unseen Court, who are in charge of a nation that could potentially attack Risur from within its own borders. It's more valuable for the people in charge to give him back and extract some concessions from the fey than to just kill him. When one of the USA's contractors murdered some people in Afghanistan, he got off scot-free because Afghanistan did not want to deal with the trouble of punishing him. In exchange, some Afghan politicians probably got a good amount of money. That's politics for you. If an enemy pilot flies a plane and blows up a school, and we capture him, yes, we'd probably want to keep him in prison or execute him. But a prisoner transfer accomplishes more, and is less likely to provoke further violence. [/QUOTE]
