Yes, you're correct. If this disparity isn't addressed, the question will come up again and again. In the past, when there was only these two fighting against each other, when one life was taken from one faction, the other would take a life in turn. Now, with the court standing between them, that balancing act has become far more delicate.

This, at least, I will be comfortable forcing them to accept. They'll piss and moan about it, but I doubt either faction will launch a counteroffensive because their people are being held responsible for their bullshit.
