Moving Northwest from top right to top left along the bridge takes you to another watchtower. You see a large crowd of peasants gathered in a disorderly queue; they appear mostly quite dishevelled, as if they had been fleeing from someplace. You can see some guards but these men are attired very differently to the mounted guard and foot soldier you witnessed accosting the circus entertainers. The Northwest guards are clad nearly entirely in black with sinister white beaked masks. You wonder if these are Witchfinders, of the Church of the Oration. Their leader here appears to be pointing accusations and gesturing violently at a figure carrying a lute, as if interrogating him. (QM: The tower here has several floors and tiered sections, it can be entered)
You can see that these Orationists appear intent upon questioning everyone in the entire peasant crowd, one-by-one, causing the queue over the river crossing bridge to grind to a halt.
