I think there were true Pharonic Phlunkies in all the major cities in the Holy Country. But yes, a large bunch would have been in the City of Wonders

IMG, Karse is a Barony beholden only to the Pharaoh. It isn't part of Heortland, it swears directly to him. I also have Porthomeka in the same position. Thus they were centres of Pharonic revivalism in the years between his death and the Lunar invasion. All the places that were "between Sixths" were more directly pro-Pharaoh.
