The Eyes and Ears of the Ekrekek were the secret police of Gyongyos. They were used to suppress dissent harshly.

Towards the end of the Derlavaian War, soldiers Istvan and Kun were released from POW status by the Kuusamans (who had shown them a test of their horrifying new superweapon) and sent to Gyorvar to reason with the government, hoping to reach a peace treaty and avoid further bloodshed. When Istvan and Kun told their story, the Eyes and Ears arrested them as Kuusaman spies for spreading defeatist sentiments.
