At the cusp of glory, one must fall to regain strength.

"My liege, the reports are ready for your review at your request," Priskilla, the leader of my secret spy organization, the Raven Legion—an all-woman sorcerer order I established to oversee the unification of the six nations we had acquired—announced, bowing respectfully.

"Is it then? Give it to me," I ordered, my curiosity piqued.

Priskilla stepped forward, handing both Kiraz and me the meticulously curated reports detailing the tasks I had recently assigned to a handful of them.

The Raven Legion had been tirelessly at work since Soril and I had implemented their operation, providing me with detailed insights into the regions I had requested them to surveil for signs of suspicion and disruption. Due to the nature of their work, they could be absent for extended periods, which is why I had some of my less prominent ravens follow them to assist with their aerial reconnaissance and provide urgent alerts if necessary.

Report: 2145-RL, Priskilla; Commander General.

The following report outlines the findings and suspicions of the Raven Legion regarding the potential involvement of the Becraiso Union in recent infrastructure disruptions occurring in Vesneau. These disruptions, including the destruction of roads and bridges, have raised concerns about possible external influences seeking to destabilize the region. Our investigations have led to suspicions regarding the Becraiso Union's role in these events.

[Background]

The Becraiso Union is a neighboring nation situated to the West of Vesneau. While historically known for its agricultural prowess and mineral wealth, the Union has recently faced economic challenges and political unrest. The rise of opposition movements and discontent among the populace have prompted fears of internal instability and external aggression.

[Suspicions and Findings]

1. Patterns of Disruption: Analysis of recent infrastructure disruptions reveals a pattern of coordinated attacks targeting key transportation routes and critical infrastructure hubs. The timing and precision of these attacks suggest a level of organization and planning beyond the capabilities of local dissident groups.

2. Propaganda Campaigns: Vesnesian newspapers have been quick to blame the influx of immigrant populations and the monarchy's policies for the infrastructure disruptions. However, our analysis suggests that these narratives may be part of a disinformation campaign orchestrated by external actors, possibly with ties to the Becraiso Union.
