[Story] Lack of Jurisdiction—How's this for a portrayal of Swain and Noxus?

Warning: It's a bit gruesome in parts.

What do you think of the portrayal of Swain and Noxus? Too dark? Not dark enough? Does Swain come across as appropriately crafty?

Relevant Factions background:

• Swain *has consolidated power in Noxus. Reformists and dissidents have largely been killed or expelled.
• In the Shon-Xan conflict, the Demacian navy intervened and obliterated the Noxian invasion fleet. Noxus, already battered from the Void War, was almost completely broken as a military power for quite some time after this. (Many Noxian refugees were also killed in the process.)
• Swain has doubled down on the Zaunite-influenced "weapons of mass destruction" approach, most notably in Shon-Xan, when the flight of Noxian refugees from the Void War into the Ionian wilderness triggered a new war between Noxus and Ionia. In the final days of the conflict, just before the League peace edict came down, Swain deployed techmaturgic weaponry on a massive scale, killing many Ionian soldiers and civilians, and actually many of the Noxian refugees whose settlement was surrounded. This was viewed as especially ruthless because Ionia had put forward fairly generous (to the refugees) terms; the popular view is that Swain refused them because he cared more about having the Noxian flag flying over at least a small patch of territory than saving his people.
• Noxus is fresh from a resounding victory in the Battle of Shurima, where Demacia and its allies were defeated by a combined Noxian-Zaunite force. That's where these prisoners are from.
• The fallout from that battle, which Demacia began in violation of a League peace edict (albeit under extenuating circumstances), has left Demacia in a greatly weakened state.
• Nami has become the face of the new Bilgewater, a maritime alliance of not just Bilgewater itself but also the Marai. She's rather beloved in the League, and is highly charismatic. However, she did give in to pressure to back Noxus in the fight for the prisoners.
