Conventional Wisdom

Jabril and Marziah Down Arrow At least he named her finally---but unless she's his schtick, can she stand up to Dunyazade's "Destiny+"?
TiRinian Up Arrow 11 out of 12 party members not actively sabotaging his political campaign, and that's not bad.
Scherezade Up Arrow Surprise double-team sacrifice dive gets the good guys on the board. And it could be worse---she still gets to give her sister advice.
Sunny Up Arrow Today's book says "Beware sudden downpours of eligible bachelors". If CW found out that it could save the world by getting married, it would include that in all those personal ads.
Jelom Up Arrow Steely gaze unnerves NPC's. "Killed trying to escape". Sure. You know, he was supposed to be a challenge for all four of us.
'al Jabar Left Arrow Right Arrow The throne room was trashed, and the harems were decimated, but the kingdom survives. Lesson: Don't marry a mook.

Kristen Weaver Left Arrow Right Arrow Not killing anyone in the election, but nobody is lining up to give her any lip.
Dunyazade Left Arrow Right Arrow Unadvertised power of Destiny+ is, you're always in the CW. We hear she'll be queen one day. But will the country be larger than CW's living room at that point?

Stephen Smithson Left Arrow Right Arrow A bad apple in the family tree?
Chyra Left Arrow Right Arrow Denunciation fails to sink TiRinian, and keeps getting teleported out ten minutes before the lobby scene from The Matrix. CW would be cranky too.
Rel TiRinian Up Arrow Political fortunes on upswing since Jelom said "Hey, maybe TiRinian isn't such a wuss after all".
Leila Up Arrow Memoirs expected to sell very, very well.
Mages Left Arrow Right Arrow Breaker says: "So long, and thanks for all the Dissonance."
Dunyazade Left Arrow Right Arrow Expects family tree to be modified with buzzsaw, but seems to think it'll make a great story.

Avani Empire Down Arrow The party's Midas Touch strikes again.
Weythran Left Arrow Right Arrow Family tree highly suspect, but CW's inside man Al says his stock may go up.

TiRinian Down Arrow CW heard a terrible popping sound. Turns out it was half of his magic dice falling into the river. Or was it his political fortunes? Kiddie band has to step up, or he's toast.
Rechark Up Arrow Has a plan, a Key, teleportation, and a good supply of expendable minions. What more can a bad guy ask?
Den Taverner Left Arrow Right Arrow College-backed insurance covers acts of war. But won't the other patrons be scared away?
Linatherius Left Arrow Right Arrow Easy-escape form and possible love plot with everyone's favorite little witch are good signs. But CW can't give a thumbs up to anyone who has the personal attention of the Breaker.
Carrington Left Arrow Right Arrow Frequent thwartage by party points to possible gross incompetence. But he's not dead yet.
Stephen Smithson Left Arrow Right Arrow Candidacy helped by lack of direct association with most of the party, but CW sees secular watchdogs dragging him down.
Kirsten Weaver Up Arrow Her Platform: Waiting patiently for doomsday likely to be more effective then whatever the party is doing. CW presently unable to prove otherwise.
Hawk Up Arrow What's that sound CW keeps hearing? Oh, right, it's the sound of party members' noses snapping back into shape after being tweaked by Hawk and his friends. Any questions?
'Al Jabar Down Arrow Scherezade just as accepting as Dunyazade, if somewhat less gleefully, about being First to Fall. With three party members, CW must speculate that 'Al Jabar is the target.
