The Claim of the Burden
Also known as Burden-Claim Question.
Lore
The Claim of the Burden is the argument that follows the Dawnward Company wherever its story is told: who owns a peril carried for everyone, and who has the right to decide its use? Caerdun cites law, Vaelorn cites witness, Varric exiles cite restoration, and the smalllands answer with the names of those who actually walked.
