"Grandpa White, was this within your calculations as well?" Kael had asked Old White fifteen minutes ago.

Kael tapped the table, his face fleeting with dissatisfaction, "Is it the followers of the Dark Sun?"
"Most likely, since this is an excellent opportunity. You should have heard that the priests of the Dark Sun are devoted to spreading strife and murder, as their deity, Shirek, is indeed the embodiment of lies and intrigue."
"And you... I am actually not too worried about the Earl (Rezhe) taking a swing at you, considering he has always been an exceedingly proud man from a young age."
