	Few people seriously think the creature can win. The Earls' Council at [[Anvil]] are bitterly opposed to the beast. The brave '''Ser Rhydian de Rondell''', who in some tellings is perhaps the greatest living knight, has made it ~~his~~ quest to slay the fiend. And yet, as the Spring Equinox draws near, a letter is circulated amongst the houses of the Dawn from the House of the Groves. The rumours are true - the Manticore intends to claim the Seat of the Sun, the Rose Throne of Astolat. Worse, he will not be alone.		Few people seriously think the creature can win.

	A procession begins, out of the Groves, a tour not unlike the one [[Dawn_monarchy#The_Monarchy_in_Play\|Penni the White]] took long ago. Out of the Barrens, through Semmerholm to Weirwater, and then south to the Crown of Thorns itself. At first just the Earl and the retinue of so-called "vassals", those who have lost their living spirits to his poison and who are now empty vessels for his will. But soon it is not just them. Good knights - normal knights - knights like in the stories - they kneel before him; some call him liege, some call him challenger, but both swear themselves to him. Their numbers are few - but that they number at all chills many hearts.

Who exactly is going to pay the two hundred plus thrones a season to upkeep those armies when Dawn leaves the Empire? Are the wealthy citizens of [[Holberg]] going to be happy to carry on paying taxes to maintain the [[Astolat#The_Castle_of_Thorns\|Castle of Thorns]] as they do now?

They look at the Fangs and dream of what could have been if the nation had had more sway in Imperial politics. The ambitious are delighted that the manticore has challenged for the crown, not because they want the monster to win; they share the view of the realists that that would be an unmitigated disaster.

	Thus far, the young Throne is popular in Dawn. A martial monarch pushing back the Empire's enemies, delivering stirring speeches from the Throne. They may be forged from the hardest Varushkan steel, but they have been quenched in Dawnish glory. It is not simply that the Throne is well-liked that appeals; however, the ambitious see ''advantages'' for Dawn in Vesna claiming the crown because they imagine that tying the Varushkan Throne to the nation can only help it prosper in the cut-throat world of Imperial politics. The work done by Empress Lisabetta during her reign set up Holberg to become the greatest ~~City~~ in the world; why shouldn't Dawn benefit by having their monarch on the Throne? The ambitious are hoping that the Challenger in Waiting steps aside to let Emperor Vesna defeat the monster and rally all of Dawn behind her glorious banner.
