The Senate voted in favour of returning it for another year. That there was only a short time given for the vote to be made is something I find slightly iffy, but meh. With supporters like Julius, Vairaj, Marie Anne, Grigori and somewhat Laia (methinks retirement plan was her thought at the time), Aurvandil's likely going to hold onto the townsland until they're destroyed. 'Course, judging by how Madina went about that last little operation, that could be quite some time from now.
