** Speaking of which, even though Aldir killed off the Greysunders he elects to spare their Lances, Olfred and Mica. This is not only because they were compelled to follow their corrupt lieges' every order as part of their binding oaths as Lances, but because both are talented enough mages who have been Lances for years. Not only that, but as a Lance's power takes years to develop and time is not a resource they have due to the impending invasion, it was just as pragmatic for Aldir to spare the dwarven Lances and take hold of the artifacts they were bound to.

** In the wake of the attack on Xyrus Academy, Arthur and Sylvie are brought before the Council to face trial. The Eraliths are sympathetic to him, the Greysunders are willing LesCollaborateurs to Agrona and the Vritra Clan (who orchestrated the attack), and the Glayders have been cowed into supporting the latter out of fear for their children. When the asuras Windsom and Aldir arrive to foil Agrona's plot, they kill the Greysunders but choose to spare the Glayders. This is because unlike the Greysunders who had a weak hold over their kingdom, the Glayders are respected if not revered by their subjects. And since they were very reluctant about the whole deal in the first place, it was more pragmatic to spare them as having their brief collusion exposed would be disastrous in the face of Agrona's invasion of Dicathen.
