Agreed. Mnemon, the House and the woman, are both too powerful to be easily toppled. Besides that, I'm not sure I want the House itself to fall. It could still be useful and is already a powerful entity in its own right.
I plan to vist the Bull of the North soonish, but after that maybe I could spent some time in the realm. If you want to see what we can do with your house.
"I can help with the investigation, although a thought occurs to me, I don't think that Mnemon would do anything for just one reason. If she told you that the poison was in fact a fertility potion and gave it to you to offer to your new companions, if all of your bedmates became deathly ill or died after you first had relations with them, then the condition would point to you. It would be a good way for her to weaken opposing families by eliminating the family heirs and it would either take you out of the picture or it would weaken your position considerably. If she felt like it after everything occured she could come in and defend you, making you beholden to her. This is just theory but I think that it holds water."
"Ok, I have a new course of action that I think that we need to be taking. We should meet up with Cathak and work on putting together the Youth League, but while we are doing it we need to be molding them to our points of view. Once we have a decent amount of influence there, you should work on working your way up to the head of your families. Meanwhile we can work on developing contacts and allies with Exalts outside of the Realm. Basically we have the ability and the tools to shape the Realm. Zeeva and I can help with some of this, especially with the Youth League. We can also work on the Schools and the Bronze Faction."
ooc: so far they haven't done anything to get noticed. Even if they do, as long as they're acting the threshold, we've got bigger problems to deal with.
