Nobles Vexed At Refuge Double Standards

The recent announcement that the Varal Mikin (and his Torchbearer group) and rumours that other members of House Mikin are being permitted access into Crown's Refuge has vexed some Nobles - a member of the Duchy among them - at the double standards being shown by the Freehold in regards to the "Noble Ban" that was issued a few weeks ago.

Comments that claim that Crown's Refuge is also breaking their own rules for "friends of the current leadership" has also prompted some to call on the Imperial Tribunal to ban Wildlanders access into Light's Reach, and (equally) prevent Freelanders from having the same means of travel without consequence.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Tribunal itself has issued a statement that, regardless of Count Mikin's statement, it will not be permitting Nobles access through the Aria, honoring Crown's Refuge's ban to the letter, if the sanctuary itself is seen to be allowing exceptions to the rule. It would seem that any Noble wishing to join the crusade will have to walk.
