Dominic,
I have not changed my mind. And I am not seeking to use the laws when convenient.
The lawbook has been rewritten, and when I read through it, those with either dragonic or out of worldly blood and their rights seems vague and unclear. If they are protected, so be it. If they are not, then I agree, we cannot offer them protection.
I was not aware until I met her last evening, that she was of dragonic bloodlines. Perhaps it is due time we ponder whether that registry is a good idea or not. But that is for another discussion.
-If- they have rights, then what Wilhem did was a clear violation of the law. Unless they have caused harm, any citizen should be protected by law. If they do not, then he escapes punishment through such a clause, but we will then have to ensure all know, that such races, whether Wildwalker or Cabal member, have no protection under the law.
As to the banner of the King and the Monsters. I had sincerely hoped, that the House of Morning would stand true to their promise. But they have gone silent, after Lord Immerdusk asked me to get the agreement in writing. If we cannot make the House of Morning march, then sadly, the Wild Walkers are the only thing that holds back the Beholders. I will continue to attempt persuasion for them to remove the monsters. But unless we have an alternative, The Kings decision of allowing it remains the standing verdict. And if that is the case, then what choice do we have?
We can watch, and hope they will continue to do what they are doing.
Or we can do what we can, alongside them in some capacity, to see the threat dealt with.
Neither scenario is to my liking. But I see no angle left to play, beyond these two options, if the House of Morning remain silent.
