	All is not well, however. Captains visiting Nemoria report that there seems to be growing unrest among some of the satrapies - the subject nations ruled by the Plenum. There is talk of rebellion in some of the provinces, and the Asavean legions being sent to root out sedition and suppress discord. Some of the more pessimistic suggest that a few provinces may be on the verge of open rebellion - something the Plenum will not stand for. A number of provincial governments have been recalled to the capital, and the general consensus is that the root of the problem is missionaries from the Sumaah Republic promoting insurgency and insurrection. At the moment this has not caused any problems for Imperial captains - for all its age the Asavean navy is quite capable of protecting its coast- but there have been a few scattered reports of merchant ships heading to and from Asavean waters being targeted by pirates, and privateering vessels sponsored by the Sumaah.
