Agnetta, the servant that Sruti asked wasn't one of the ones from the old estate, but talked quite a bit with some who were. Apparently the queen was quite eccentric even before becoming queen, but the last few years of being confined to the throne room and nearby apparently made her stop giving as many damns about concealing it. Although, Agnetta is more of the opinion that it was the near miss about a year and a half ago that everyone had when one of the courtiers contracted the Iron Bile plague, since that was what did in the whole royal family last time and some of the bile almost landed on her. There's also lots of 'wink wink, nudge nundge' kinds of undertones when Agnetta wonders aloud how being alone might have changed the sister that never really did give a damn about hiding<br/><br/>If Wren goes to search, she can pretty quickly find out that the coastal road is mostly quality road and has a name, but it's fallen out of use because the feature it refers to is long gone and being the only road along the coast has reduced the need for a name. When you say the coast road or coastal road, everyone knows exactly where you mean. They also know what the 'damn bridge' is and feel that Wren will too if she goes over it. Now between that coastal village of Rye Fields and Greyhill, there's path but not yet road the full distance because three very petty lords offered payments and  to ensure that it didn't pass too close to a village owned by the other two.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Gather Info total 15+</div><div class="spoiler_body">One particular caravaneer, who also tries to sell Wren on some stamina enhancing potions made for horses, speculates that it's because whichever village gets actual road can then get an exemption from the draft that most feel is upcoming.<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Gather Info total 21+</div><div class="spoiler_body">The draft isn't for war, as some speculate, but a guard that was there says it's to try and take back part of the now deceased Margrave Sopdet's lands, incidentally making the Water Road once again completely safe.</div></div><br/><br/>
