I suspect that of the two new religions, Millatism will be more appealing to Sedonians than Exquaestio. Sedonians have always been more comfortable with mundane methods than magic, although they will use magic when magic is more effective than mundane methods. 2. As far as suppression goes . . . publicly, the Sedonian government supports the extermination of the Tanimbari goblins. Privately, however, they would prefer that Tanimbar not succeed too quickly--a long drawn-out conflict would be ideal from the Sedonian viewpoint, something that keeps Tanimbar distracted and inward directed. To that end, they'll refrain from suppressing Exquaestio activity in Vizinia, as long as the quaestae are discreet about their activities. Indiscretion on the part of the quaestae will, of course, end in an appointment with the public hangman.
