“How to better Ul’dah,†she said simply. “He is bent on violence and bloodshed, claiming them as his only means. Going as far as damning himself to be evil and cruel. He wants to fix Ul’dah so badly that he is willing to destroy it and himself in the process. And in the aftermath of it all..." She scowled. "He will leave it to others to build upon the ruins that he has left in his wake.â€
Her voice grew sober, her eyes seeking the Sea Wolf’s gaze for some sense of understanding. “And I…believe somewhere inside of him, he does not wish that path. He does not wish to pass that judgement upon himself. That he too can belong in the world he worked so hard to change. That he is a good person. He must be, to want what he wants. I believe people can change things without giving themselves to the darkness. I want him to see that. For himself, and for everyone else.â€
Roen folded her hands upon her lap, looking at Daegsatz intently. “You have known him for twenty cycles. He is your family. Surely, you can tell me...am I wrong in believing this?â€
