I think the Crows guard their secrets to avoid competition. So long as they are the best, they run Antiva. Why would they change things if they have held the power this way this long? As for my opinion, well... [Zevran shrugs, like it's a little thing. Like Fenris is asking 'cake or pie?' or 'boys or girls?' Oh, that little matter?]

I can't say I'm particularly fond of the part where they enslave children and kill anyone who dares to leave - to protect their secrets, of course.
