OP suggests that our "appointment" to that position, which happened like a minute before we came to the city, was Bad News. No ceremony, no swearing in, no fanfare - just a rider beating a near dead horse and the grim news that someone died and you're the best they have to fill the bill. By the way, protecting DOES NOT mean suicidal charges into vastly larger and more powerful forces. Our head will have a hard time protecting from the end of that spear we are about to find ourselves riding rather uncomfortably. We have a lot more to protect (maybe) than a burned out husk of a boil on the continent, already in the grip of death. So, let's go from here, consider our options, and protect what remains of our once proud empire. Or go out in a blaze of glory now, and appoint the next poor sap Lord Protector of the Ashes.
