In recent years, Amn had been thoroughly ravaged by Osvid. Given Chalanona's usual temperament, she would have long since come out to stir up trouble. Chalanona had never been a good person—something even she herself admitted. For the sake of pursuing what she wanted, what hadn't Chalanona done over the years? Abandoning her husband and child was nothing!
If she could, she naturally wanted to incite a struggle for supreme authority among the Cowled Wizards. Osvid was a noble man, someone who truly loved this city and this nation. He was also a great wizard, but none of that was enough to support him in governing a country. He simply did not have that ability. Why did wizards rarely meddle in politics? Because the difference between magic and politics was greater than the difference between humans and pigs. They were fundamentally unrelated things.
Thus, despite harboring a great dream of creating an Amn where everyone could live and work in peace, the result was that Amn was gone...
Under such circumstances, Osvid faced enormous pressure and doubt. Many regarded him as the sinner responsible for Amn's destruction. This had originally been an excellent opportunity for Chalanona. She only needed to collude with those dissatisfied with Osvid, and she could easily obtain the power she wanted. At the very least, she could have torn off a huge chunk of flesh from the current Amn Federation.
But Chalanona clearly had no mind for that now. What had happened to Solam had dealt her far too great a blow. Of course, it was impossible to say that Chalanona would never recover from this. After all, she had always been an egoist, and she would eventually pull herself together. But she had not reached that point yet, so Chalanona was still wallowing in despair.
