Under Rorschach's direction, Prague launched a massive census.
It was not just a population census; the main focus was testing for Magic Talent.
Once word of the census got out, widespread panic erupted in the city. The surviving, die-hard opposition, seeing Pavel make such a "foolish move," seized the opportunity as if they'd struck gold, quickly fabricating and spreading all sorts of rumors.
In summary, the rumors claimed that the Bayern people and the traitorous, glory-seeking Pavel were going to snatch away everyone's children for purposes including, but not limited to, consumption, medicinal use, ritual sacrifice, and research. The users were supposedly Pavel, the secret societies supporting his National Salvation Alliance, the Great Mages backing him, and various undisclosed, notorious cults...
The rumors were surprisingly well-crafted, but in truth, even without these people adding fuel to the fire, many citizens already thought the same.
