Nicolai Romanelli:
Do we know which council members voted to bring in the mercs in the first place?
Breakwater will tell you that all but he originally voted to contract with the Bloodforged to eliminate the pirate menace and/or reopen the platinum fields. Zardis Kreyg was contacted and contract negotiations were set to begin.
Overmark went to the FC to vouch for you and convinced it to wait until you'd had a crack at eliminating the pirate base. Vander was persuaded first (remember, he'd originally tried to hire you to go after the pirates but y'all decided to do another mission first) and he and Breakwater convinced the others to hold off on putting the Bloodforged on retainer. You guys eliminated Styg's band and so the council decided to back out of the deal completely, which inconvenienced Kreyg (since he had turned down other offers in anticipation of a deal with Balefyre). He came up with a scheme that he hoped would more than replace the lost revenue from the cancelled contract
and teach other potential employers what could happen if they backed out of a deal. And that's what brought the Bloodforged to Balefyre.
Only Breakwater openly opposed the takeover (which is why he was imprisoned). Vander is helping you, behind the scenes. Pudo the Elder is basically a puppet of Toesplitter so that gives you three allies, to some degree at least, on the FC. Veloura Dame and Corlis Bragge's loyalties are unknown at this time.
