Yes, I was quite surprised. It's almost unseemly how quickly she went from being on trial for heresy to back in the ranks of the Elders. It's particularly surprising when one considers that Rabisu has given every appearance of being convinced that Allison is a heretic whether the Magistrates agree or not.

Well, now he's her direct boss -- keep your friends close and your enemies closer, as they say.

In theory, he gets to order her around now.

It appears that this is Rabisu's attempt to control or manage her. Since Allison wants Rabisu's place, Rabisu pulls her into her camp.

The really funny part is all the campaigning Allison did against Rabisu, both public and private. And here Rabisu offers Allison a job and she takes it. Under current charter rules, this means that if Allison finds a way to get rid of Rabisu, she becomes Light of the Maddening again.

The evidence against Alaron was circumstantial, but convincing. I don't think anyone believed the story he made up. Brance thinks Alaron is making a fuss in order to distract from his own incident, and because he wants Allison out.

Sort of. He's attempting to distract from his incident, yes. Not trying to get Allison out any more, though. Though he's tried to do so in the past, something's happened which has caused an about-face on that. Though to the members who aren't Elders, he's just ranting about corruption and replacing the Elders. Pulling a bit of a Glaumring, though not yet quite as mad.

Anyway, on the topic of appointment.. yes. "In theory" - we all know Allison can't be ordered about. She'll do as she pleases, especially regarding that threat against Jonsu.

It's as easy to get rid of a Luminary as it is to appoint one. Rabisu can basicly dismiss her at any time. If Rabisu is unhappy with what she des, he can kick her out.

Indirik's signature is very appropriate for this situation.

1. Allison establishes sufficient evidence to win a magistratum against Rabisu.
2. Magistratum begins
3. Allison is immediately removed as Luminary
4. Magistratum succeeds.
5. Allison gets nothing.

That shouldn't be too hard. I think that Elsebeth is the only one that thinks Luminaries should automatically become the Light. Election of Lights by the priesthood is quite possibly the most-favored idea.

The question is: Can Allison get enough votes?

Elsebeth most certainly does not think that, in fact she is highly opposed to Luminaries automatically becoming Lights (and has said so several times, though usually while saying 'unfortunately, the rules currently say otherwise, so this is what we have to do right now, even though it is bad').

The question is what sort of election: Elsebeth is highly in favor of them being elected by the priesthood or simply by the elder council, she'll fight to her last breath to keep them from being elected by the whole church.  She will also fight to her last breath against it being a regular election, Lights, in her mind, serve for life, or until they get a Magistratum called against them, at least.

Damn, I can't keep this straight...

Election by the priesthood is what Brance will push for.
