Carlota arrives the following morning to the Convention in a good mood. The Badgers are still up on the walls, yes, but if anyone complains she has a spectacularly good rejoinder prepared.
Also, this afternoon Safe Roads is going to consider adopting all of Lastwall's lich-related rules. It turns out Lastwall feels strongly about liches and has lots of good ideas for rules to ensure they can't go around living in your cities, who'd have guessed?
In favor on the basis of Estella’s recommendation, but Estella better have a good reason she explains later.
If she understood right, the Spell Lord is supposed to stop powerful wizards from being able to hurt people just because they're powerful wizards, and they have to be a wizard themself or the powerful wizards would just kill them. In favor.
She doesn’t know anything about magic, but it doesn’t sound like it will bother her or any of hers… abstain.
From a selfish perspective she probably ought to be in favor but she doesn’t want to get in the habit of voting for laws on self interest instead of what’s right. Abstain.
In favor. The wizards need to be kept in line somehow, especially now that the Archmages closed the Worldwound so they won't be sent off there anymore. And it's not like anyone's been presenting a better idea.
He would really prefer there be less attention given to investigating what wizards are doing. Against.
Most of those do seem like things that ought to be regulated, and the Spell Lord model has been tested in Absalom without disaster. In favor.
He'd rather not have important people deciding moment-to-moment law be rich powerful spellcasters. Against.
Sure, it's much easier to run a prison for mages if you have a single mage to negotiate with. In Favor.
Can't the archmage already do this? Well, making it clear he can is fine. For.
Wizards are so annoying. They should just obey the same laws as everyone else instead of wanting their own obnoxious titles and rules. Against.
In favor. He does wonder what they'll do with the position if Elie doesn't accept it, but they'd probably end up with something like this anyway.
