As restless as ever, sir, but I don't see them taking any kind of incendiary action. Not soon, anyway.

But then Ulfric and his ""Sons of Skyrim"" started agitating about it, and sure enough the Emperor had to crack down.

The people here look to Brina Merilis when they need things settled. Real firebrand going up. Wasn't surprised when she joined the Legion.

Silence, or they will throw the book at you for sedition.
