idk man there's just something about the lights of the Candescent Creed visible at the top of Dol-Makjar where Azgra once ruled. there's something about despite its diverse population, Dol-Makjar primarily being the city of the orcish revolution only for a priestly house of the human shaper to swoop in not a century later and set themselves up as a new power divinely appointed. it's why Thaisha unabashedly standing against the Halovar envoy hits so hard, a reminder that for all their machinations, this isn't their city, both literally and figuratively. their charges mean nothing. Halandil Fang cannot have stolen the blades that belong to Thaisha's family because he is her family. their daughter is holding what is rightfully hers. the Halovars may have money and magic and influence, but they will never be what the Lloys are to Dol-Makjar. "welcome to our city." you are guests, here, and the second that hospitality is betrayed, you are intruders.
