This is such a huge question of morality :O Like seriously, my mind is blown. On the one hand, Aleric has done so many horrible things and it seems awful to let all that blood go unavenged. On the other hand, if they deny him any chance at redemption, they're turning their back at a cat whose life has been utterly cruel to him; any of them might have ended up in his position if they were forced into it, and by condemning him they're ensuring there are no second chances.

ARGH. IT'S SUCH A PERFECT PORTRAYAL OF WAR TOO. Like usually the side that wins gets to decide, and they can treat their prisoners-of-war horribly, or they can try at a just trial (this is still hard, because any judging committee will obviously have a deep bias against a former enemy). In Aleric's case, he has helped their side, but the fact that he was working to betray them for some time will definitely shadow this.

The Karina/Aleric scene utterly broke my heart though :( It was so desperate and raw on Karina's part, and you could really see that Aleric is at his breaking point when it comes to where his love for her has gotten him. If only he wasn't about to die, I think he might have been able to tell her -- but of course he doesn't want to tell her and then leave her.

HE BETTER NOT BE EXECUTED THO I SWEAR
