The worst part for him was the matter that The Order had completely created this idea that he was incompetent—unable to do his duty to serve to protect the people from threats foreign and domestic as he had sworn when he became the governor of this county nearly six years ago. Things had not fallen apart so much that people demanded his head in a guillotine however, which he was thankful for, as this cult seemed to disappear when their last soldier died the previous summer. However, despite it looking good to the other governing overseers of the nation that this cult was dealt with Gerald felt that they were simply recuperating and dividing their assets elsewhere. He had been told by one of the members of his Vann, a warden named Kath Sentarous, that this Gandilos had indeed promised that all of this was only the beginning. In his office in Dunric’s City Hall, Gerald Apui grew worried if that much was the case—but there was nothing really he could do to prevent it. The best he could do was better order his Vann to be trained and make their patrols much more demanding—he even considering reinstating the provincial military but he knew that would just send the people in a bigger panic. But how could he just sit here and do nothing? It was madness.
