If Gregor were to die from a game mechanic I'd quit.  Simple as that.  He's
one of my favorite characters period.  What a lot of people seem to miss is
that the really old guys tend to eschew politics after a time and simply
look for a nice Dukeship, or cush townsland or mountain region.  The trouble
is with the people who never let go of power once they get it, and people
who help them keep it.
