Ruben's Revenge and the Queen Benia City of Vilya's Ear
Description
DescriptionAs Lady Ruben was dragged away, she shouted that the party doesn't understand what's at stake and that she still has the Queen Benia City of Vilya of Vilya's ear. Stripped of Inquisitorial power but not politically destroyed, Ruben represents a lingering threat with a direct line to the highest authority in the land. Session 9 update: Rubin's fall creates a power vacuum that drives much of this session's action: the push to back Alistair North for the vacant Inquisition post, Vixia delivering intelligence on the leadership change to Jaco's operator, and the general acknowledgment that Rubin's removal will unleash chaos. The threat of Rubin's access to the Queen Benia City of Vilya remains unaddressed. Session 10 update: Prince Visvalir directly traces the hoax engagement conspiracy to Ruben de Faris, identifying her motive (she recommended the Gildons for lordship and benefits from both the marriage and its dissolution). Caelum commits to striking back at Ruben de Faris, seeks dirt on her correspondence with the Gildens via Jaco, and the prison break plan is partly motivated by retaliating against her schemes. The arc shifts from abstract threat to a concrete, identified conspiracy being actively countered.
