Authority
"Do all Grey Wardens bow to their inferiors?" The Shapeshifter had questioned the King, a sneer crossing her face. Following the fall of the Wardens, he had remained silent and melancholy, allowing others to take charge.
" Leave him be." The Heroine had interjected, ever the peacekeeper. She was seemingly unafraid of the Shapeshifter, and never hesitated to jump to the King's defense. The Shapeshifter snorted in disapproval, but fell silent nonetheless.
The companions never truly questioned the King's decision to allow another to lead. It was apparent to each of them that the Heroine, despite her humble beginnings, had an air of authority about her.
