• [DC 5] Discover common rumors and information.
• [DC 10] Instigate Rumour. Which then (if successful) will be spread through the Bards. (You're ofc free to GIVE it to the Bards and tell them to spread it for you. The difference being a rumour they heard and spread on, and a rumour you've asked them to spread. Thus they MIGHT depending if they care say where it comes from).
• [DC 15] Catalogue troop position and strength in a province

• [DC 15] Reveal the domain statistics of a province (attitudes, regents, holding levels, etc.)

• [DC 20] Create a minor domain event (such as a corruption)

• [DC 20] Reveal the nature of diplomatic talks taking place between two domains

• [DC 20] Piracy. A regent must either assign a lieutenant (as captain), a ship, and pirate crew (which must be mustered) for piracy, or hire a pirate captain (found on the Mercenary page). Note that nor all lieutenants are suitable to act as pirate captains. Pirates keep half of any plunder taken and the regent receives the other half. Regents normally stay quiet when performing this action, but certain factors may reveal the regent's involvement.
• [DC 20] Create a Secret law, guild, or temple holding. (Source holdings are considered secret by their very nature.)  Costs in addition to what can be found per Create Holding.  Trade routes from covert holdings must be done with the Smuggling domain action. Covert Holdings may not be occupied into destruction, they may only be contested (until found and thus not hidden :). Only secret societies may create covert holdings. Those part of such a society would know.
• [DC 20] Set up smuggling, which creates a covert trade route between two guild holdings that is unknown to the province ruler or any other regent in either province. The trade route generates the same amount of money and must abide by all the restrictions of a normal trade route. Only one can be created at a time. The benefit of a smuggling trade route is that because it is not known to the province ruler he is unable to tax it in any way. Unlike standard trade routes only a single smuggling trade route may be created per domain turn. Note: The goods smuggled need not be in and of themselves illicit or illegal goods. A guilder might want to transfer lumber, silk goods or conceivably any other product covertly just to avoid taxes.
• [DC 20] Create a Spy Network in a province.

• [DC 25+] Create a major domain event (such as a Great Captain/Heresy)

• [DC 25+] Reveal the specifics of an existing diplomatic agreement between two domains

• [DC 25+] Reveal battle plans for movement of troops currently stationed in the province

• [DC 25+] Find the location of prisoners, criminal in hiding, etc.

• [DC 30+] Trace the responsibility for an assassination, corruption, heresy, or other covert intrigue in the province
