Relationship Note on Andry

The information meeting hosted by Sir Andry Bayweather was a real eye opener for me. I learned many new things and hopefully had something interesting to share in turn.

Best part was that there was an open discussion, good working theories and an incentive to keep talking and working on finding out more.

Feeling much more eager to hit the stacks now again.

Andry,

I do not understand why obtaining agreements to free slaves would count as breaking the rule of law. If the agreements are lawful contracts, then where is the breakdown in law?

Relationship Note on Andry

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. When I said that thrall debt is "made up," I mean that the number is made up when it's decided on. This isn't actual money that the thrall owes to another person, that they were lent and need to pay back. It's a number made up to represent their supposed "debt," generally inflated to a particularly high number in order to keep them in that state of debt for as long as possible. _That's_ what I mean by made up. The collective debt of thralldom in the Mourning Isles isn't an amount of money that these individuals owe some person or house or group: it's a number made up by people with incentive to make it as high as they can get away with. That's what I mean.

I do know the records by Palladium you're referring to, and I think the important part is right there in what he wrote. "Tearing up." "Bad-faith dealing." That is: if you do the work to put this stuff into law, to build it into civilization, it doesn't have to be an overthrow or an _attack_ on civilization. And I think that people are starting to spread word that there's no way to deal with thralldom that isn't going to strengthen certain darker concepts in the world, and I think that's a really huge assumption on their part. And that stating it as plain fact is _literally harmful_ to the world. So. That's why I brought it up to address it.

Relationship Note on Andry

I am a firm believer in the idea that boredom is a personal failing. To that end, it is imperative that one surround themselves with interesting people from varied walks of life, with worthwhile stories to tell, and purposes that intersect with your own in complementary ways without being entirely parallel. That having been said, I'm quite pleased to have met Sir Andry Bayweather. This disciple of Gild has an appreciation for commerce that rivals my own, while his travels have taken him down paths I shall never walk. As everyone knows, where trade and travel meet is where the magic happens - not the kind of magic that inspires fear and horror, but the kind that inspires growth and progress. It pleases me greatly to have Sir Andry accept my offer of patronage; may it profit us both.

Mostly I would feel bad for the people behind us!

I need to keep this in mind for the next time we’re out in the field.
