I find this little
comment from King Jimbeau quite interesting. Whatever intentions arbcom may have had with this council, it's quite clear he saw it as an opportunity to co-opt his critics. Give them a meaningless title and surround them with sycophants to drown out their voices, and may them his "royal" subjects, directly working under
his authority.
Also, isn't it contradictory that some of the same people who swore fealty to the king in the recent rfc are so against this council that has the blessings of the king?
