SC - Re SC: Distress in Trimaris

[micaylah]

It seems to me Adamantius that they have taken upon themselves to
"speak" for the whole populace. Does all of Trimaris feel this way?
Somehow I doubt it. Its a shame when Heirs start out on the wrong foot
and these obviously have. They are obviously suffering from the
uneducated misconception that all medieval food is brown glop. Shame
isn't it?
