| Separate to all other revolutionary elements, and dependant on the times either more or less feared by those in power, are the Royalist groups within the city. Most other revolutionaries will not touch these groups, as they generally intend to put the power in the hands of //fewer// people rather than more. Further distinct from the other revolutionaries, royalists come from every wedge of society, all the way from patriots raised on old stories among the poor through Warrior priests dreaming of a standing army restored to old-guard nobility plotting in smokey rooms. | Separate to all other revolutionary elements, and dependant on the times either more or less feared by those in power, are the Royalist groups within the city.

| - | Royalism has never been more buoyant than since the Upheaval. As hardship has fallen on the city, the voices calling for a strong hand of leadership and putting out seditious pamphlets extolling the virtues of a new monarch are being listened to like never before. The only problem is the same one that plagues the revolutionaries - a lack of unity on exactly what they want. Some groups point at those in house Darrish or Graves with close relations to the old royal bloodlines. Others demand a glorious return of house Cargan to the city. Still others claim that the extinguishing of the Salic line was not as complete as the Council claimed in the aftermath, and that an heir to the throne lives in secret within the city, waiting for the city's darkest hour before coming forth to claim her (and there's an unusual degree of agreement that it's a her) throne. | + | Royalism has never been more buoyant than since the Upheaval.
