Many of Brevoy's patriots dislike the fact that these lands have become an independent state. They're spreading rumors and advocating against the King. They insist that these lands are governed by a criminal, whose regime must be overthrown, and whose lands should be reclaimed by Brevoy. These statements are undermining the kingdom's legitimacy, casting it as a criminal domain.

Many people listen to the muckrakers and have begun to complain that these lands are filled with bandits and rogues. The bribe offered by the Treasurer to the muckrakers appeared to have been too small. |
