Amurite government term is due to expire and their Republic will soon pick new government. Election campaigning has started, and peasants are once again furious that they won't be able to vote. They are already protesting, some are even staging an anti-elections with universal suffrage, to elect an counter-government. People are uneasy about this, and rumors are that many merchants will vote for men of Order, favored by lowest class, if only out of fear of disorder, to appease the lowest and retain order. Most prominent persons are either Valledia's men or Order's, though Order has moderate and radical faction within their followers. Also, a few militarists are prominent, gathering themselves around semi-secret society with still unknown agenda, known as Mithril Guards. The fact that Amurites have sold a part of their rightful lands to 'barbarians' does not help the current government, but those lands have no real worth to Amurites.
Those masons and engineers? Remember???
