Say every thing goes well for NM and the city government disbands itself and a benevolent dictator is installed. What do you think will happen to all the guardians? Do you think they'll just forego their previous allegences or ideas? Do you think the fringe groups will quietly accept the lose of what little power they had? A successful New Monarchy will only divide the guardian and civilian ranks almost as badly as the faction wars. It is a foolish errand to consolidation of power in a time when flexability is key.
