Elijah Crowley and the Crown

Moostrav,

It is my understanding that it was not for this young man alone that many sacrificed their lives... and other things... But instead for the contract that would have sealed not only his fate but that of his entire bloodline. Not just that of the king, but possibly everyone who he shares blood with. That could be millions of people. That could be you if his fifth cousin seventeen times removed happened to have a child with your thirteenth great great great great great uncle or something of the like. I do not understand the mekhet or the like, but blood magic is dangerous. Please don't disregard the sacrifice that [strike]we[/strike] others have made for this. Even if it wouldn't have targeted all of those, it saved a bloodline, and possibly a kingdom.

I have only met the young man once, after the ordeal was done. He seems earnest. Young and perhaps naive, but earnest with a kind heart. This is a good quality for a king, but a dangerous one too. If he is put on a throne he will need teaching and guidance, both in being a ruler, and to make sure others don't take advantage of him. Kindness is an admirable trait, but one that can be twisted by those who have their own agendas.

Burkhart,

Its not uncommon for people of yours to be misunderstood on the topics of magic. We often find you misunderstood on many things.
A debted man shouldn't talk on the matter or those they owe; we expect full compensation for those materials we handed you, since YOU can no longer make a weapon or provide the equivalent.... there where witnesses to this deal if your memory is misunderstood as it usually is.

Lord Tartaros,

As always my support lie undoubtedly with you.

I admit that I have not had a chance to meet him, though I have heard a lot of good things. While your endorsement speaks volumes Lord Tartaros I have some questions I need answered before I decide, do you know if there will be an opportunity to speak with him at some point?

The lads head is in the right place. I sense he'll make our investments worthwhile if we place our equity in him.

Signed,

All I care to say is that if your advocacy for Mr Crowley is born solely of loyalty to the Lord Admiral or a passing friendliness to this newest candidate, I urge you to find further reason. The Lord Admiral indeed inspires loyalty. Mr Crowley is indeed a friendly, virtuous man. I pay neither of them any disrespect. But your support is precious, and it shouldn’t be thrown around in a manner so cavalier. Investigate Mr Crowley’s character and qualifications thoroughly, and behold his promise or his inadequacy for yourself. Exercise your own mind, examine your own heart. Don’t proclaim advocacy for one of the most influential positions in existence over blind fealty or a friendly face.
