- Do people need permits to enter the town to trade? How are criminals usually dealt with? Do guards in the Mountain Clan have to undergo background checks? Basically, Veronica and Simon are trying to figure out if the laws are such that somebody On The Inside, particularly a guard/soldier, could have feasibly known about the attackers or be collaborating with them, under the assumption that what Kylo Ren found out means the Empress herself is not.
- Have any ordinances passed since the issues with the Sea Clan started? What statements has the Empress issued? How are laws passed?
- Where could this information be found by visitors? Would there be a library with this stuff, would guards have some kind of handbook to give out freely to guildmembers who ask?
I know this is kind of Overload and some of it may be completely irrelevant so feel free to just skip those portions, definitely not trying to kill the mods.
