I would be rather annoyed and concerned about who in the CoE has taken it upon themselves to act outside of the Council's jurisidiction, role, and sanction. Its a bad thing when those in power violate their own rules, for what THEY think is best, not necessarily the council (or whatever governing body you might want.) Other than that, Quentyn is perfectly justified in ignoring the Council's sanction. He has not done anything wrong, save gain attention for doing somethng he was not supposed to finish in the first place. Quentyn has done nothing wrong. The Council has.

I had assumed that all meetings by the Council of Elders were public, for some reason.

If this was the only way to get the word out, well then... He did right.

Rave wrote:But this bit with the council turning out to not even have real power is kind of confusing.

Jace wrote:As for Lady Rose looking embarrassed... I think it relates directly to the word balloon above her head. Remember, she was one of the ones most concerned about how Quentyn's actions reflected on the 'image' of the village. She DID try to punish Quentyn for acting 'too much like a Questor'. She proposed the censure.

If even my best friend woke me up in the middle of the night for something that didn't need doing until morning, I for one would have difficulty being as sympathetic to his request or open to his statements than if he called me at a normal hour.

Quentyn of Ridgedale lived in a time when the Rac'cona Daimh were entering a time of relative peace and prosperity. As such, Questors were not needed as much as they were. So he could probably be the Questor of both villages.

How he managed it, with the villages being in opposite corners of the realm, I am not sure, but he did.

He is simply called Quentyn of Ridgedale because that was where he was born and grew up. So, even if Quentyn ends up in Sanctuary and becomes the Questor there, he would still be Quentyn of Freeman Downs.

Well, didn't know any of that.

So what's your take on young Quentyn being the first Questor of Freeman Downs?

If you left a note on your best friend's pillow asking him to do things that he found absolutely and totally unacceptable, and then went off to bed yourself, I would not blame your friend for waking you up in the middle of the night, and telling you, "Forget it!"

He held the meeting in the middle of the night because he had gotten the note that very evening. He needed to tell them, right then and there, that it was unacceptable.

Both times they called him in front of the council they did it at THEIR convenience--- heck, he'd barely got off the luftship the last time--- yet when they were supposed to present him with his badge they brushed it off as inconvenient and literally mailed it to him. Inconveniencing THEM for once had to be gratifying.
