(2.x End SPOILERS) That's about seven shades of fouled up...

[Waffilicious]

I don't think that's entirely true. I'm fairly convinced Lolorito set up everything; Teledji really was innocent, but because he has such a love for gloating, Lolorito used that and Raubahn's long-simmering rage to his advantage to get Teledji taken out of the picture. This gets Teledji and Raubahn out of the picture, leaving Lolorito as the (seeming) sole authority figure in Ul'dah.

So he gets everything, and we were all just puppets in his game. Nanamo, Raubahn, Teledji, the Crystal Braves, the Brass Blades, and you... all just devices for him to use to usurp power in Ul'dah.

I don't think teledji's death was within lolorito's plan, if you think it this way, which way is easier to control a city, by yourself and doing all shady things at the eyes of everyone, or in the shadows while you puppeteer the current ruler.most likely lolorito wanted teledji as the ruler so he could control everything in the shadows without drawing that much attention to him, and if something goes sour teledji would be the 1st to pay.

As for Ilberds power well he says he's been sharpening his "fangs" every since ala mihgo but meanwhile Raubahn got weaker by just playing politics, and yeah that might be true he might have gotten a little bit weaker. Plus emotion inestability in a battle = you are most likely to lose it.

Also for Alphinauds case his sister sent help having a bad feeling about the situation so he got saved by some gaurds from his family. plus with him dead that would make all of Sharlayan angry at uldah too as they are the most influential family there.

The only thing which MIGHT indicate that is his apparent disgust at the handmaiden's declaration that all was set in motion according to his plan.

Otherwise, it really would not make sense, especially if Lolorito is making a play for something much bigger.
