I wonder if King Xenon understands how much these changes in crop production impact Aclaris’s less fortunate citizens or if his luxurious palace in the capital city insulates him from such pedestrian concerns. A moment later, I chide myself. Our king must juggle so many responsibilities and urgent needs, a difficult task made even more challenging by the unrest between Aclaris, Tirene, and Kamor. Ridiculous of me to assume he doesn’t care about the hungry simply because assistance hasn’t reached our village yet.
