Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
And Adah notices the critical spot and possible flaw in the argument.
This is one of those laws that’s so old and unchallenged because it’s almost never invoked in the first place – there hasn’t been a House War for quite some time now – and because normally following it results in the obviously more stable outcome.
But now there’s a great deal of uncertainty, a lot of questions with no answers, and the Taoiseach is a relative youngster that’s making a lot of worryingly aggressive moves, and technically he’s only Taioseach because the “adults” were incapacitated or missing.
If the oldest living Taioseach suddenly resurfaces and decides he should be in charge again… There could be a problem.
(Not that I think Thorongil /wants/ the job back, but anyone who’s been secretly chafing under Ian’s rule or hoping for a power play for their own might decide to cause trouble…)

It was just a rotten day all around. 🙁
