The royal family, maybe. Every bit of evidence I've found points to something rotten at Torhid's heart.
[ And oh, he's been looking. Searching, ever since that day when the beam of light came down from the sky and ripped into the island, literally tore the ground asunder, broke the very kingdom apart. When his whole life was destroyed, and the lives of so many others. Divine punishment for the whole kingdom... but awfully convenient. A power in the skydom, Cain had found, that might one day have rivaled the True King's own power. And the True King, off in his kingdom the next skydom over, certainly wouldn't have wanted that.
It's all a bit too convenient. ]
But even so... no one else deserved it. Not the workers in the palace, who were just doing their jobs. Not the people living in the capital, just going about their lives. No matter what the royal family might have been doing, no one else deserved to be punished, so I can't agree with what happened at all.
