Note that this does not constitute an imperial position, merely a removal of official displeasure. The Warlord issue is a bit more curious, but events were pressing... note that Setha did not *remain* Warlord down to Vlad's time, so perhaps the "rule" is still in force, especially since the extenuating circumstances have passed. *before* this "official" lifting of the ban.
