But really, poisoning the Sultana? That's pretty audacious. Nobody thought someone would be bold enough to attempt that. Manipulate and out maneuver the Sultana and usurp her throne? Sure, outright murder and a pretty blatant framing? That's kind of beyond the aspirations of a greedy Merchant. Or at least that was the common assumption.

Let's see if that changes in Heavensward, as the tale is supposed to be darker.
Agreed.
