Given the poor state of the police presence there, the rioting has quickly spread, although the presence of large numbers of mercenaries in the vicinity of Glaucus makes it unlikely that the rioting will continue unabated much longer.

This action in no way prevents further diplomacy between our nations, as demonstrated by our willingness to permit ambassadors to remain, yet it is the royal wish that those with potential influence be denied the comfort of Lycurgan patronage so that they might be motivated to enact change."
