Reports had begun to circulate, detailing the infiltration of revolutionaries from neighboring kingdoms across Reichwein's borders.
Most of these infiltrators had managed to slip past security with cleverly forged identities, allowing them to enter the kingdom with disconcerting ease.
The news of their arrival had sent ripples of unease through the ranks of the nobility. The nobles feared that the revolutionaries' arrival extended beyond mere escape from their home kingdoms.
They suspected that these revolutionaries had come to disseminate their radical ideology within Reichwein's borders.
At the core of this revolutionary movement lay a fervent desire to dismantle the entrenched caste system, a prospect that struck fear into the hearts of the nobility.
The revolutionaries advocated for a nation led by merit, rather than birthright, and their arrival posed a threat to the privileged positions historically enjoyed by the nobility.
