=== Questions ===
* Captain Hernaut abused his power to free Renoir, who may have escaped, and he had every intention of using the nine prisoners as fuel for the ritual for the greater good. What should happen to him?
** Keeps his position. He explains to the few who know about the Dragon situation and everyone agrees that while things could've gone sour, it didn't.
** Quietly loses his position. He explains the situation to the few who know about the Dragon situation and they ask that Hernaut step down. Hernaut becomes a captain in the Watch.
** Loudly loses his position and is exiled. Folks in the senate demand a full account and don't stop until they uncover the Dragon situation (which is not made public knowledge). Hernaut is exiled.
** Something else?

Hernaut

The fallout from what the reports are calling “Hernaut’s Earthquake” continues today, six weeks later, as the Captain himself learns of the results from the special jury for his trial. This special jury was convened shortly after “the incident” when it was discovered that Hernaut, the former Captain of the Royal Pride of Musketeers, had set free and murdered the Sorcier prisoner, Renior Olivier.

Renior Olivier was the disposed leader of the Sorcier and has been kept in confinement in Dorchem Palace for more than 20 years since the Gunpowder Revolution. In an ironic twist of fate, Olivier is the twin brother of Kuthmaer Olivier, missing hero of the revolution. Before he went missing, Kuthmaer argued that his brother should be imprisoned for the rest of his life instead of being put to death so that he could witness the glory of the revolution.

Few details have been made publicly available about Hernaut’s trial and the events surrounding the earthquake. It was only through an anonymous leak to the press that the public has been made aware of the trial at all. Rumors abound, saying that more people than Hernaut were involved. Less reliable sources have said that the Sorcier’s dragon, Yaalon, is not dead but slumbers and Hernaut was using Renoir’s Sorcier magic to kill the dragon.

This last rumor is quite unlikely (and unconfirmed by officials) but none-the-less has caught the imagination of the common man, causing a run of nervousness throughout Lisway (and the greater Arkstone). The results of Hernaut’s trial have been issued—he has been convicted of treason for setting Renior free. The sentence for treason is death, however, given Hernaut’s service to the country and the Revolution, the judge has commuted the sentence and has instead exiled him for the rest of his natural life.
