There's no reason you can't just link it to Saemon's boat. Saemon's neutral, so I don't see why you just can't do that. At least the betrayal at the docks would make sense then.

I agree with the idea of using the harpers...who are more good than neutral (hey, they go around hunting EVIL dragons).

Also, there needs to be an alternate way to deal with Rayic Gethras. You need to be able to convince him (using Int or Chr) to just leave Edwin alone. You could accomplish this by threatening him, bribing him, or simply convincing him that Edwin isn't worth the time.

This would let you avoid killing him, and the Virtue hit.
