Queen Aurala directly controls Aundair’s spy network, the Royal Eyes. The Eyes are Queen Aurala’s favorite tool; she sends her agents on missions of espionage and sabotage abroad and to spy on and deal with her rivals within Aundair’s borders.
Queen Aurala definitely wants to keep an eye on Adal and Darro. Anyone working for her First Warlord or the Knights Arcane commander might get a quiet visit from the Royal Eyes. In such cases, the Royal Eyes either interrogate and arrest the PCs or recruit them as double agents.
A character who succeeds on a DC 20 Knowledge (nobility and royalty) check knows about Queen Aurala’s close connection to the Royal Eyes. Furthermore, such a character knows the bureaucratic process necessary to set up a meeting with Spy Master Batrax of the Royal Eyes, a confi dant of the queen.
