I'm used to having a network that spans a continent, and a continent that follows the rules of magic and technology I understand. But for all I'm at sea, the usual approach seems applicable. Gather as much information as possible, determine exactly who's responsible for what in any and all factions, and take action only then. Generally by isolating and eliminating the problems.

[Admittedly, that's very proactive for Watcher business, but he has no royal family to apply to, no Oreska elders, no council.]

So, for the time being, mainly gathering information.
