Since the existence of DTA-Bolitic Confederacy talks were revealed Emperor Melson has faced a barrage of opposition on the Bolitic capital Castarian. Seven Barons, the heads of Bolitic houses, have called on Melson to end the talks. One, Trehane the head of a middle ranking house, said the Bolitic should not lower itself for money.
"The Emperor seeks to betray our principals for koleks! What next, maybe our daughters can turn tricks to earn extra Dino coin!" he roared at a rally outside the palace.
However Trehane is one of the most notable opposing barons and not high ranked. Melson also received support from an unlikely source. The powerful Baron Erinthorn, who once plotted to depose Melson, has said the Bolitic need to adjust to the new reality, take the money and rebuild.
