Well first off. That does raise a question. Why dont we have reporters or news paper boys?

I mean. Last time I heard about somone posting somthing that might not look good for the empire, they got banished.

I've considered going down such a route myself but I have no guarantee that they wont just shut me down immediately the moment I dont say anything nice.

Before I get too far off-topic though, most of your points make sense, but they make me question some things.
Anyone can be corrupt, and while I dont believe the Blades to be nobility, they are a fairly large group. I see the guild badge practically everywhere. And it makes me wonder at points if it is healthy or if they make any room for competition due to sheer size as an 'adventuring guild' - it has influence, to an extent. Maybe not anything crazy, But yeah.

But maybe thats just me.
