Thanks Fandir!
I'm hoping to get the Marshal's on our side, as they seem to be. Hoping to find out about their demeanor to all the tax stuff. If they can become an ally, when it's time to drop the hammer on the cult, it will help to have the Middenwatch and the army backing us up. Maybe I can weasel my way into their service and act as a go between, so they can keep their hands out of politics.
