So it appears, verified by Meden Curo, that the king is recovering to some extent. The effect that has on our party is an interesting illustration of the bifold nature of Sir Ewen's purposes.
From the point of view that the outside world would assume, that the goal of Sir Ewen is the lengthening of his belt (and the proportionate distribution of rewards to his household), this is not necessarily bad news. Unlike Harabor, the Firith/Curo/Ravinargh conspiracy engaged in no open treason. While the king is unlikely to be pleased with them, neither is he likely to try to purge them provided the restoration of good order continues apace. The king may be unamused by Ewen's extending his assigned task in Ternua into a claim to the barony, but still, he might be impressed by the vigorous suppression of the Verdreths. Perhaps he might even see that deed as worthy of the title, provided he can continue to depend on Ewen's support going forward.
From the internal point of view that the goal of Sir Ewen is to disrupt the political order of Kaldor, this is bad news indeed. Generally speaking, people don't like chaos. That very fact means the established government of any state has an advantage, a gravity that it can leverage to maintain itself in some very tenuous situations indeed. Future historians might look back and say that the episode worked to the long-term advantage of the Elendsas, forcing disloyal nobles into the open where they could be eliminated and allowing the king to appoint new, more loyal claimants to certain of the great titles. We will want to disrupt that storyline.
As always, we must remember that Vemion lies glowering on our flank, and will make an attack at some point.
