As a player, I'm actually quite happy that Claude was appointed. It gives some new blood a chance to take part in the decision making.
As a character, Veleno is a little miffed since he's a follower of Sartan (just found this out, which is annoying as she's been rather pleasant with him up till now) and annoyed at Selene for not opening it up for elections.
Sure, why not? That's the kind of slippery slope you get into when you start giving up a title so the "rightful noble" can have it back. Makes for lots of good RP and arguments, too.
I'll see how it goes with the Sasrhas ducal seat. If she gets that, then I won't really have an argument for "I'll step down to get Ozrat back" as that sounds silly. If not, then I'll wait and see what happens.
