#THEY WERE LIKE 'HIHI WE'RE BAD BITCHES CORRUPT LIL THINGS' AND I WAS LIKE 'BITCH WHERE?'

BRENNAN: Jumping in there too, just to address the point, yeah, me and Marisha and Aabria and Lou met for the very political trifecta of the real dirt going on. I don't know that it ever actually got said. It got hinted at a lot. But something that people should know was true was that the Drashari tithe is 25% of the city's ether. The other 75% is supposed to get put into the ground for the Replenishment. That hadn't been happening for many Replenishments in a row. The past two or three Replenishments. I think we discussed that only less than 5% of the city's ether was actually going to go into the ground for Domunas this Replenishment. And the rest was getting caught up by the Leywright, but also being funnelled out to archmages in the city to unnaturally extend their lives. That's what Nydas was doing that back-alley ether thing. All to push the Leywright along, and bribe people and all this corrupt stuff.

?????? Hinted at? My dude, this is brand new info to me.
