Game over, to both Rowan and the twins, trying to be the voice of neutrality here, the twins have every reason to want to keep Rowan happyish, they are screwd without him, if he fails to take the fortress not so much, but if he does not get the orcs or goes to Rastadel? Them they are everything but described to have been destroyed.Pal as many of the people through history that ends enslave, Rowan can and must be considered as a slave, isn't something his condition to be grateful or not seriously is a metaphor, because he and his wife could have been a worse treatment, the reason for keeping him in a position at the Castle is not only because he's valuable, is for torture him because of him the world he knows and the people he protected will be one way or another under the Twins rule, everything for was he had fought for is now been corrupted or under a rule that he never stood for. Nonetheless it doesn't mean that Rowan as many people who was enslave end accepting the fact that he's property, but in the practice he's like one, Rastedel confirms that when he explained all the situation and by reasonably it could be, for the twins don't care, he must obey, he must reach the high bar, it was explained in every town were Andras lead a conquest and make him choose to kill or not an ancient man, if he obeys or not there are always consequences in which Rowan will be directly or not implicated on it. What happen if Rowan do not achieve requirements on days 22 and 60?, Game Over as simply as that.
As many people in a power position, they all subsequently watched over their actions, as when Rowan try to figure it out the pendant on him and then he was warned about the consequences of that, and there can be assume that in certain actions by Rowan can be taken too comforting in his position of Power in the Castle or by trying to be rebellious, the twins at certain way are informed, not only as Andras example, when Jezera ask to Rowan to accompany her to visit a potential ally, she demonstrate who's in Power, she kill a Queen, in Her Territory, at the Nose of Her Guards and at the sight of Rowan to see it all... The sight she does to Rowan isn't for nothing is a warning to not get too comfortable in his position less to be rebellious, he's not even near in the position of Power as that Queen and she was killed as nothing, the twins doesn't have too much motivations to treat him better in the future, an example of that is Helayna, she was under a spell that makes her a cockwhore and it doesn't matter how important is she for Rowan, she can't be saved of a worse destiny without consequences, the twins are so low in motivations to keep him happy that if Rowan choose to not claim Helayna, after that vision of being raped by everyone, he and his wife are invited to dinner with the twins and there is Andras fucking Helayna there, if Rowan claim her then you'll have a break in your marriage; because as far in extension of the story goes they are still at Power over him. The main person who's Rowan can be have as something near like an ally is Nasim, and only when their interest coincide at heart.
Rowan is a servant of the twins, not exactly a slave, but a servant, the twins are like children playing with toys that daddy left them ,with demonic arrogance and pride on top, Jezera killed an noble drow women yes, but at the same time she did so because she overestimated herself and got out with nothing. I find it hard to believe that the twins actualy have any good great plans, or make concrete plans together, Adras seems like he only thinks of the next fight, and Jezera of how can she overcomplicate matters and use subterfuge to acomplish it. They keep him in a position of power because, by their own word, they need him, not to torture him, if they did not need him they would have killed him and be done with it.
So they are in a middle ground, too pridefull to understand how much they need him , and to arrogant to treat him any better than any other of the high placed servants that cant wipe the floor with their asses. (So only the researcher is given enough security to not get to much more that a pestering half demon girl)
