⚫ | Rira was a very wealthy self-indulgent man.{{ref|b|wb|c|31}} However, he genuinely felt that he did right by the Idrian people. He claimed to have kept them fed, even if it involved illegal or immoral actions. Rira honestly believed that he did more for the Idrians than Vivenna or Idris itself would. Rira was interested in a potential Idrian uprising in Hallandren, but only so far as it helped further his interests. Rira believed himself a patriot, but also thought patriots deserved rewards for their service, which disgusted Vivenna. |
