| It could be seen as rather convenient that just a few days before Fort's major mid-summer gather, a group of minor holders from around Fort came to the Hold, not just for the gather, but to petition Lord-incumbent Astivan to re-negotiate their tithing percentages to the Weyr, citing the decreasing size of the dragonrider population in the interval and other reasons. Astivan, however, refused their proposals and rumors are running wild that he was either drunk, or seemingly high on something during the meeting, per the injudicious words of some of the staff. That could be why in the days that followed, a formal request from a large number of Fort's small holders was put to Conclave to replace Astivan with the much more rational and capable-seeming Lord Warder. After all, didn't he handle the raiders once and for all? He's a hero! The upshot all comes to a head just after mid-summer with the request endorsed by Giarnon of Ruatha, Rivellan of Fort Sea, Trevor of Gar and Leoren of Four sons. The verdict from the emergency Conclave session? A clear majority in favor of Esraval, though several notable Holders were against - not unanimous by any stretch of the means, but enough for the motion to pass. |
