In the aftermath of Rodky's fall, the mercenaries hired by Nissa took advantage of everyone's exhaustion to flee the battle, leaving her as the target of everyone's anger when her position as Rodky's de facto ruler came to light.
Suspicion, ire, and resentment colluded in the hearts of our knights, who demanded her execution, reparations from Rodky, and a few other demands.
I wasn't interested in creating a new enemy, and personally had no problems with the people of Rodky themselves.
If anything, to me, they were as much a victim of Nissa's short-sighted last stand as we.
I couldn't have Nissa executed after all the trouble I went through to keep her alive either.
Unfortunately, there was no easy solution to satisfy everyone.
