They convince him that honor and fairness of a single king dictating the tax authority over others' lands is not right and that support for a new look at nobility and rule is justified and backed by enough of Anduel that the king has no other choice but to hand his power to the lords.
Anduel lords that remained loyal to King Mergram tot he end begin to fear the possibility of reprisals from Hafensera and his allies; they organize a resistance to support/reinstate Mergram as King.
