reputation decreasing in six provinces I have never visited

[vypremik]

I am working through Sonoria Domain and trying to improve my reputation there.

When I checked the global map, my reputation in six other provinces is decreasing point for point as I increase my reputation in Sonoria Domain.

Is that supposed to happen?  If so, I think it creates a huge playability problem and I anticipate being considered a criminal in every other province before I even visit.

There are three warring factions in the game - Sonoria, Haroda and Farolin. Each player can be only in one of them and while gaining a reputation for their faction they also gain negative reputation in provinces ruled by enemy factions. Do not worry about missing content there - all chain quests for these provinces are mirrored one of your own.
