Slowly, news of the demonstration started to spread throughout Fereldan.
The observant citizen would notice that besides the growing crowds of people on the streets of Rayleigh, priests were seen less and less outside. The City of Snow was also quiet; other than the soldiers who were still clearing up the newspapers, there was essentially no activity from the Ferelden officials.
Were they just going to allow the demonstrations to proceed? Highly unlikely.
The organization behind the demonstration had provoked the Church and even the royal family. Not to mention the situation in Ferelden was in such a mess, and things would only escalate if the Church did not do something about it now.
Meanwhile, amongst the mages…
"Is the demonstration really going to continue? Isn’t the Church controlling the royal family? What if they decide to abandon all pretense of amicability and attack us?"
