[That may be a small look of 'ick' that just passed on Gaignun's face at the mention of Gilgamesh taking control of the persona using community. A man who does not value books should not be in charge of anything.]

Royalty, deities, knaves, we're a rather motley crew here now. I'm almost wondering if a council based leadership attempt might go down more smoothly then a spear headed one...[He may be slightly musing to himself, but he's not actively trying to get the conversation off track.]

What you may want to do in that case, is get the community involved in the planning process of this. I've found that people are more apt to be happier with something that they had a hand in creating from the get go. Especially in a climate like this, where secrets are going to be met with more suspicion then usual.
