After the demise of King Eodred II civil unrest spreads through the city like wildfire. The people are divided between those who support Queen Ileosa and those who regard her as an opportunistic Chelish gold digger. After all, in her first months in the city the Queen dismissed Korvosa as a backwater place and her family -important Chelish nobility- were openly against the marriage.
It doesn’t help there are rumours about the kings illness – some claim he died because he was poisoned over time- and that the Seneschal disappeared when the first riots broke out. His fate is as of yet unknown.
