[k] @Moriarty But in this case, that strength is also a weakness. [k] @Moriarty As long as he remains here, Diarmuid needs to keep up his image of a chivalrous man about town. [k] @Moriarty That makes his group old and staid, unable to make the bold moves necessary to remove the others.

[k] @Moriarty The people of this city are highly[sr]unlikely to ever trust them... [k] @Moriarty ...but in turn, that gives them the[sr]freedom to do whatever they want.

[k] @Moriarty They have the fewest numbers,[sr]but they also control the docks. [k] @Moriarty And since this city's industry depends on those docks, the other gangs can't do much to hurt them.
