In general, common-folk tend to be indifferent to their rulers. Common-folk are generally content as long as they feel safe from soldiers, brigands, monsters, and other dangers. If the common-folk are threatened, or if the taxes required to provide for their safety seem unreasonably high, they are likely to become disgruntled. A passionate and fiery orator or a noble hero may win the people's hearts, and inspire them to face great dangers in the face of a greater good. The attitude of the common-folk towards a regent can have a major impact on the success of their domain actions. At the beginning of each domain turn, the attitude of the common-man towards the regent's domain must be adjusted based on the events of the previous domain turn.
Domain attitude is adjusted each season by making a d20 check modified by the bonuses and penalties such as those listed below. Table 5-8: Adjusting domain attitude is then consulted to determine the area's new attitude.

Bonus	Example
+5	Regent successfully deals with a major event, such as an invading army
+2	Regent has five or more ranks of Diplomacy
+2	The regent holds all holdings of one type in the province
+1	The regent holds more than 50% of all holdings of one type in the province
+1	Regent successfully deals with a minor event, such as a matter of law or a rampaging monster
+1	for each renowned/epic dead the regent has ever performed in the service of the domain

Penalty	Example
-10	Military forces occupy the province (martial law)
-10	100% of the holdings of any type in the province are hostile to the active regent
-5	50% or more of the holdings of one type in the province are hostile to the active regent
-5	Regent engages in a foreign war (without justification)
-5	Regent does not successfully deal with a major event
-2	Regent does not successfully deal with a minor event
-2	Regent engages in a foreign war (with sound justification)
-1	One or more other regents in the area are hostile to the active regent
