If Vea Byrda was a devout supporter of Skylar Meredyth, she definitely is not now.
She and her brother, Scott, invited me to dinner at the Slack tonight, where they tried talking me into getting away from Peter Quora and supporting Cassandra Lauth. Their reasoning is the fear that Peter Quora's Project would turn into an actual corporation and try to acquire the Third Level Society later on the future.
Ever since the slew of economic changes having taken place in the wake of 1309, it's been damn near impossible to run a corporation without having to pay large taxes. There's more incentive to run independent businesses or non-profit organizations, in fact; and that was one of the intents of the Finzi Coalition in the wake of the big 1301 crisis and the rampant corruption of the elite.
Although I would not say that running a corporation is impossible, technically.
Regardless, there is a lot of fear involved, irrational fear that is. And Ivella was telling me how the Byrdas were just some of many individuals buying dinners for numerous Members to sway them into voting for Cassandra Lauth.
I asked Peter Quora about this Mr or Mrs Greycloak, and asked if perhaps they would be able to contribute funds to help Skylar boost her voter confidence.
"The Dungeonmaster election is in less than 24 hours, Rose Anne," Peter Quora said. "And Skylar's got the silent majority on her side."
