Janillis, The archmage of the Granite forest, opposes the emperor's reforms. His reasons for doing this are unclear, but are at least partially motivated by a personal dislike of the emperor. Janillis believes the empire should be waging wars, not reforming its populace. His views are popular among other archmages, as Emperor Martellus's reforms frequently infringe on rights traditionally given to archmages.
The High Priest of Rekmon is a rival reformer who hoped for a greater emphasis on rounded virtues and Patriotic fever. He claims the reforms do not give enough credence to courtesy and generosity, and open up opportunities for foreigners to gain influence.
The reforms broke the old merchant's guild monopoly on portal trade. The former members are known as the Old Trade Houses, and they are furious with the emperor. They are no where near as powerful and rich as they were 10 years ago, but they are more desperate, and their losses appear to have stabilized: some are bankrupt, some are still wealthy and powerful.
Question 87:
What shape is the pirate city of pit? does it ring the entire pit? is it long and vertical, all on a few levels, or just a big blob? How do people get up and down from one level to another?
Question 88:
The Empire prefers Archmages for rulers. Is there a preference for mages in middle positions, or are they shepherded into other professions?

You make it sound so obvious. These groups feel like adventurer material. Or if you have a mage in the group, the GM can have another from his training group show up as a supporting character.
