Recently Duke Carden, an unseelie Fiona, was taken from his throne by an unlikely pair. Brenna ap Leanhaun and Alcander ap Eiluned. Known to be bitter rivals, the truce that led them to jointly move against the Duke shocked many. Of course, the truce no longer stands, and the two of them, along with those commoners who support them (or in most cases, owe them something), are fighting bitterly over the throne. Though out and out war hasn't been called (neither house has enough power for that really... well, not that they speak of) skirmishes in the street between loyal subjects to both lord and lady have been known to happen. Mostly, however, all manuevering is political.

These two are not the only ones after the throne. There are rumours of some of the Seelie sidhe also seek the title, though they haven't come out of their cloistered freeholds in the "brighter" end of the city to declare themselves.

Personally I believe there is an Ailil behind the entire thing. My information on the matter is slight at best, but there are some things one just overhears...
