OMG…instead of an intense war (shudder) we are going to be treated to a family saga with drama. 
Frankly, I much prefer something like this than a faction splinter all over the place. At least we can look forward to an engaging story (I hope) instead of a war.
If you look below the article at the first comment made, that commenter actually makes a very well rounded synopsis of this drama. I can’t wait to see how it plays out.
