The Duke continued, "If that is a concern you carry, it shows that you know nothing of how things operate at the heart of Malentansium."
Izroth knew Duke Sorkoza's words were not wrong. That's because, besides the skounae, no one truly understood the inner workings of the Malentansium kingdom beyond a surface level.
It was well known that the Night King commanded the skounae, and the Night Lords beneath him maintained order on a broad scale throughout the kingdom. However, there was no concrete information regarding the kingdom's internal power structures.
Of course, there was the matter of titles and bloodlines, but that only provided a more general insight.
