[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 7486260, member: 6790669"] [b]A Few Nights On The Town, Continued:[/b] [gm] The general political situation was described in the first post (above). [/gm] Although Sir Aubrey is not shy about wielding his authority, Sir Duncan discovers (through general conversation) that his frequent absences on the Grand Duke’s behalf have weakened his political position, and most citizens believe that Sir Jonathan is, in reality, in charge of the city, for the most part. To further reinforce this idea, Sir Aubrey often confides in and seeks advice from Sir Jonathan, whom he trusts implicitly. That is not to say that Sir Jonathan seeks to undermine Sir Aubrey, because the two of them are lifelong friends, but the general implication is that if something were to happen to Sir Aubrey, the city would look to Sir Jonathan to assume direct control of and look after the city’s interests. The general feeling among the townsfolk is that Lady Abigail is friendly, perhaps even benevolent, but her reclusiveness makes some people nervous. She is known to be fast friends with both Sir Aubrey and Sir Jonathan, and besides Sir Jonathan, it is Lady Abigail that Sir Aubrey places the most trust in. In fact, there are some who say that he trusts her too much, and that an Elf can never truly be counted on not to advance Celenian interests in favor of Human ones. There are also rumors floating around that people have been turning up dead in Hochoch, and that the city guard hasn't been doing much about it, since the victims were all known thieves and violent criminals.
