The Reenlightened
Beginning as the political arm of Aglethal and her sisters' civil activism, they were the crowd that would loudly agree with the sisters' proclamations "for the good of the people", and beseach the King to put up the money for new construction projects. Over the years, they became more and more rabidly loyal to Aglethal and her sisters, finally not even believeing information that did not come directly from Aglethal, or her sisters', mouths.
