Clytemnestra

Clytemnestra speaks softly, clearly enjoying this exchange.

"I'm not certain that we share the same understanding of elven law, Lord Kirsch. It's not clear to me that the late lord COULD have disinherited his cousin, even if he had wanted to. And if no substitute heir of suitable blood has been publicly named - and surely Hargen would have known if there had - then anyone else would generally be seen as a steward at best. Possession is, in this case, not nine tenths of the law.

"Of course, if someone is willing to disregard the actual law, then by definition they will not be constrained by it. But that doesn't mean that it wouldn't carry weight among the elven nobility."
