You know, I've been thinking a bit about Maryen's mom putting a hit on Vai'Klis and this action, while extreme, is not without warrant if we ignore Kendra's perspective and look at the objective situation:
- Vai'Klis is a dark elf, who are known even through Lamidania for their cruelty and evil. Already a fundation of distrust for Kendra's friend.
- Vai'Klis is also not just a random alchemist, but a denizen of the fucking Hell Kingdom, a kingdom which is hell bent on destroying Keisiema. Another point of worry since she could be afraid for Kendra's life.
- Kendra was a rebellious kid all the way to adulthood, resulting in caging Kendra for her playful antics and a strained relationship between mother and daughter. Knowing Kendra's character, her mom was worried she would be corrupted by the Hell Kingdom and her newfound 'friend'.
- Even if Vai'Klis was not evil before her death, there is absolutely no indication of Kendra ever informing her mother of the fact even when asked and instead simply told her to fuck off. Maryen and her dad were both sympathetic to Kendra and willing to stand up for her, so their views would be inherently biased. All of that which yet again raises alarm bells about what Vai'Klis 'true' character might be and what she's doing to her daughter...
-Combine all of that with a turbulent political situation, preparation for the purification armies to mercy kill the undead as well as inability to go confont Vai'Klis herself due to starting a diplomatic incident at best or putting Keisiema in danger at worst...So she sends 2 soldiers to do what needs to be done instead.
Her decision to eliminate Vai'Klis was not irrational. It was motivated by her circumstances at the time.
