[D4:EA] Yet another Blight (Open)

[Nathaniel Mason]

Ordinarily, Nathan would have been extremely disgusted by the devastation surround the Warrior Seat and the poisoning of the Land. Now it was just another dead field in a massive collection of other dead and battle torn fields. This one wasn't even the most interesting. The only thing that made it note-worthy was it's proximity to the fortress. Had they not needed to come here anyway, Nathan might not even have bothered to spend any of his extremely limited time.

"
Lets look around, shall we? Since we are here. If you can examine the soil, Maester, I will talk to some of the residence."


"
You don't seem very enthused."
said Edmund.

Nathan shrugged. "
If we can help, we will, but compared to some of the other things going on, it's not a high priority. Even if we can salvage the area, it will take a long time. Longer still to grow crops. Many who are starving now will be dead before that happens. Restoration of the land will help the smallfolk in the long run... those that have a long run, but we haven't been sent here for that. We've been sent here to point a finger at someone. My guess is the crime was only added in the first place so that the charges looked at least passingly neutral. We will find a few people, hang a few people, the Brackens and Blackwoods will shake their fists at each other. It will become just one more reason why they both hate each other. Not that they need one more reason."

[Reader]

Ser Edmund, Lord Bartheld's unassuming cousin, may have provoked a challenge with his ham-fisted handling of welcoming courtesies at Raventree Hall, but seemed to thrive during the grim work of investigation. Lacking the wisdom to read others, the tongue to sway them or the knowledge to unravel mysteries, he possessed the humility and wisdom to organise and coordinate, provided he was not burdened with direct responsibility.

With dignity and diligence he helped all those around him, happy to provide quiet support despite his relatively exalted birth. A most unusual characteristic in a noble.
