Well, why did you fall so completely apart then?

David & Alex: (simultaneously) Different points of view.
Alex: David didn't think the ends ever justified the means. I did. I was prepared to carry out the necessary means. He wasn't.
David: It really is that simple.

Neraida: What a couple of-
Andra: Oh shut up.
So...it's just a little spat that sprialled out of control?

David: Quite a major spat when you think about it.
Alex: It meant we couldn't work together to achieve our goals. David thought I was a monster for my morals - which I believe most of you do by now, as well - and I wasn't going to waste my time with him. That originally caused the break, which gradually got wider and wider. The others had to choose a side.

Sides? You turned an agruement into a war?
Neraida: Lord, what fools these mortals be.

Alex: Shh you, you have your own problems.
David: Basically, we both wanted to better the government. I wanted to help the existing government improve itself - Alex didn't think that could be done, and thought we should start afresh. I didn't agree with his plans, so we parted ways. But when we started helping the government against Alex's plans, that made us his enemies. We were in the way of his plans - and, well, you've already seen how he doesn't let attachments cloud his judgement...
Alex: I gave them the chance to back down. We wouldn't have pursued them. But they didn't. Was I supposed to give up Fallamor's future just because of five of my friends? THAT would have been selfish.
David: But of course, he did pursue us eventually.
Alex: For an entirely different reason.

Neraida: I have NEVER broken a blood tie because I didn't agree with what they said.
And that reason was....?

Alex: I had no choice. He wouldn't get out of the way, and I needed to get through. I couldn't sacrifice the future just for him. People had already died - should their deaths have been in vain? Were they any less important than David? I gave him chances to live - I gave him hundreds - but in the end, there was nothing I could do for him.
David: Funnily enough, that's exactly what I thought as well.

You seem to be very similar. At least in stubborness.
David, what exactly can you do with your power?

David: Not all that much - heal, give energy... The greater the healing, the more energy it takes out of me. Jack can lend me power sometimes - he takes power from the sun - but even then it's not enough to, as you said before, bring someone back from the dead.

Weird.
OKay, Katie, lets bring in some unknowns now. I've no idea who James is, for instance. Well, a little, but not much.

OK, unknowns! In order of when we meet them in the story:
Danny, the rebel who helps Carys and also happens to be the prince of Niria, and ultimately marries Carys.
Chris Metherell, who is one of the first to shelter them, helps them find out what's going on, and basically is a good friend throughout the story.
Sarah Metherell, his sister, who has a disastrous affair with Sean.
Meg Nesson, Thomas's half sister, abandoned at birth by her father the Rebel Sorcerer leader who tracked him down herself, and ends up marrying David.
James Nesson, Meg's twin brother, who was kept by their father while Meg was abandoned, and heir to his command, and has affairs with both Anna (to Thomas's chagrin) and Emily.
Will they do for now?

Hmm....James. Tell me about yourself.

James: Well...
Carys: Oh no. You don't know what you've done. You think Jack is full of himself? You ain't seen nothing.
James: ... I'm James Nesson. My dad is the leader of the Rebel Sorcerers. They're a group of Magic Adepts who think magic should be allowed to be used by everyone. Meg and I were children of his from a brief affair with some noblewoman, but he could only raise one, so he left Meg with a family and took me.
Meg: Which was lovely to learn when I got older, I must say.
James: Basically, I introduced the Fab Gang - that's these guys - to my father when we met in the capital. They were getting themselves into a spot of bother, y'see - wouldn't have lasted another five minutes on those streets without my help.

Oh gods. Alex, I take back everything. You may be insane, and evil, but at least I canempathise with you.
Meg, tell me about yourself.
