Seems like he's friendly, yeah, and sort of got that hungry wolf - meets Duke thing well. Feral silk style. I don't know. I still feel like a giant floof of a dog in a Duke's suit. That sounds weird, don't it?

I think Duke Vercyn's idea is the best one for weaponizing gauntlets.
Also as an addendum, I think High Lord Victus' supposition was that the blades extend from the tips of the fingers instead of over the back of the hand as I though, but I think such a configuration carries the same dangers of potentially injuring your hands in bad ways.

I had a lot more to say, but I think I may as well just write this: If you don't like being held responsible for what others you have no control over have done, and for what you all benefit from, just imagine what it's like being attacked or killed for the actions of a group of people you've probably never even heard of who might live on the other side of an entire continent and who would probably murder your people just as eagerly. Imagine if your people were, right this minute, being blamed for the deaths caused by a being that has been hunting, killing, and enslaving them since before you and I were even born, who has sacrificed so many entire tribes we will never even know the numbers. Imagine being marched away from your home and your lands forever, at best, because the Compact doesn't want you to be too close to them when he does this to you.
And, of course, because your land was valuable and they consider it theirs anyway.
Does that really compare to one angry Prodigal losing her temper and holding the entire Compact responsible for the actions of its members in her white journal?

"Which Lycene hero? The one who murdered scores of people and got away with it?" - Duke Vercyn Halfshav
I am positive the Duke did not mean to disparage and denigrate the history of Count Rodrigo Telencia with such a statement.
More likely he was a bit hot under the collar and writing incautiously. It is doubtful he truly feels the majority of Great Houses voted incorrectly in this matter of induction.

I recommend you spend some time in the Hall of Heroes, then, Duke Halfshav, and take some time to familiarize yourself with our heroes. They were the ones who went above and beyond the call of duty - and many, many, many of them were larger than life. Do take some extra time in the Lyceum Hall, the Thrax Hall and - in fact - the Redrain Hall.
As for the matter of my worst enemy?
If anyone thinks positively of Everard Telmar after everything that has come out, I think those people are rather scum, as well.
Even if you mean my living ones? The same thing applies. There are true monsters in this world.

My Lord, with all due respect I do not think your argument is being misconstrued, I think it's just a bad argument. You're trying to say that people are rallying to Bliss's cause because of her popularity and throwing ourselves at her feet? For what would anyone supporting Bliss Whisper gain from that? In doing this she has knowingly risked her position as a Whisper, she has risked her good standing, she has risked everything to seek justice. So you encourage us to take a very big step back and ask would we care if it was anyone else?
I would hope that I would have the fortitude to support an unknown if their cause was just, just as I would support someone in good standing if their cause was just. However, I don't think this is relevant at all to the point. You just seem to be upset that Bliss has support at all, but you're not really addressing the arguments made. I disagree with your assessment that it has been abundantly clear that House Telmar is not trying to weasel out of responsibility. House Telmar has not made a good stance on this. Every apology has been backhanded, every statement has included accusation, and as I said before Bliss Whisper has been more treated as an irritating insect rather than someone that they as a House have committed a crime against.

From the observations that I have held, you are the only one who has spent any time focusing on Champion Bliss Whisper's popularity. Master Aleksei Morgan, former Godsworn and current expert on theological matters, is focused on the subject of Honor and the concepts there in.

Oh, let us not impugn the use of popularity and social capital to get what one wants. Not all of us are born with riches, or are born the great great great great great grandchild of someone who did something legendary long ago. This is like getting upset at someone using a paddle in a rowboat when you're at the head of a massive barge, with a several yard head start.
You can criticize whether or not someone -deserves- to be popular, but using that popularity is well above board as it's something that's voluntarily given.

The honor of a House's members reflects on the House. And he was hardly just a member, he was the Sword. He and that blade literally represented Telmar's honor, and he used it to try to win a bet, the cost of which, from what Bliss says, was her losing bodyparts. That's what he hoped to 'win' from her. That's what he was so confident about winning from her that he bet the House sword. It sounds like a stupid fucking bet on both sides, but no one forced him to do that, no one made him bet the sword. Even if your ridiculous premise were true, and some random duelist decided to set him up, his actions are his own. And so is the fact that he followed her after, ambushed her with backup, and stole the thing back. Stole it...which means he handed it over to her in the first place.
He's dead now, so Telmar needs to answer for what he did. It doesn't matter he was a piece of shit. They gave him that position and that weapon. Answer with the House sword? Maybe, maybe not. A lot of her demands sound ridiculous. But a promise was made, and she was wronged. This isn't /nothing/. And this guy got his House into this damned mess because of his own pride. His actions were his own.

Don't you think that's a bad thing though? If Bliss Whisper wasn't so popular, if she didn't have popularity, no one would care? And so Swords of houses can go about crippling people and stealing and making false wagers all they want? And you put the responsibility on a young commoner duelist who should have 'not taken the bet'? I thought nobility were the ones who were all about taking the higher road and taking responsibility. But it seems the last few days that is only the case unless it is very inconvenient.

You're right. When Bliss Whisper was an unknown to the Compact without popularity and support, back when the events in question happened, she was disregarded and ignored by the house's leadership. Because that's generally what happens to commoners who end up abused by the peerage.
That's not a sign of anything right or _just_, though.
