Revelations from Patch 2.55 [SPOILERS]

[RobinRethiel]

They had given the Brass Blades the total control of securing the city before the banquet, so it's likely that the Flames and Sultansworn guards were replaced for that occasion.

But who would accept something like this? It's like giving the troops of a single (and known as corrupt) general the control over the capitol. And well, the first thing we learn, when we start in Uldah is, that the Brass Blades are "Like common bandits, just less honest". It would be absolutely ridiculous, if one of the other (and kind of real) guard factions of the city (or their leaders) would simply give them the total control.

But who would accept something like this?

I don't remember who, but someone (I think it was Ilberd? It was one of the first cutscenes) had proposed it and it went unopposed. Since most were trusting the Braves up to that point, Raubanh most likely didn't even say a thing about it, since he was probably like 'Oh hey Ilberd is my buddy, he won't let anything go wrong, no problemo!'.

The one that that bothers me is that Riol only told to our WoL about the whole conspiracy, and didn't think about telling Alphinaud of all people.

To be honest, Alphinaud would have told Ilberd, whom he trusted, which may have made things worse.

Ah true, I suppose he would have in his naivety.

Given what happened to Wilred (I think that's the name), and possibly others...Riol probably thought it was a good idea NOT to tell anyone else affiliated with the Braves about it, lest he "disappear" as well. You were the only one he could trust enough to confide such information to.

He was close to Y'shtola though, and she could have passed the message to the others 'Oh hey guys, one of the braves just died, maybe we should hold off to investigate?'

I assume this too. He may have even suspected alphinaud as well.
