Buoyed by the success (and the income) from the "Castaways" plays, Marlowe next embarked upon this rather convoluted and abstract work, which treats the assassination of a conquering general as a vehicle to explore the limits and workings of political power. It also—apparently inadvertently—revealed more about the Cormyrean security services than the Crown considered safe. After the production was shut down, Marlowe was held without charge for several days and then quietly released. No further information about the incident is available, and the script of Grassy Gnoll was subjected to considerable editing, with several details altered before the distribution of copies was permitted.
