It all makes sense now. The reward you got from the guild in Thrace. You helped Elanna get close to the King, to spy on his defenses, to make her plan. You took the money the Guild offered and now the King is dead.
There is nothing you can do to change what happened, but you still have the reward. Looking at your backpack and iron pouch you consider what to do with the blood money. Can you keep it, knowing what it cost?
