There was even a good chance that a war objective or quest had been released by Tempest to search for Ranazera and ensure her safety.
It was not that Izroth feared a direct confrontation with these players or the guilds behind them. But, it would undoubtedly slow their journey through Malentansium and place an unavoidable target on his back.
There was even a chance that those with ill intentions would want to take advantage of the opportunity to dispose of Ranazera. After all, the Tempest princess had no shortage of enemies both inside and outside of her kingdom.
If that happened, Izroth knew that they would certainly find a way to place the blame on him. At that point, he would not just become an eternal enemy of Tempest, but even his standing in Amaharpe would be affected.
