Action by Rook
Lord Rook Grayward is accompanying Duke Gabriel Bisland's as a diplomatic envoy to help assist with the efforts regarding the remaining Abandoned that they're trying to convert to Prodigals. In the accompaniment of a small force designed to protect the lord courtier, he'll shill his perspective on why they ought bend the knee-- in not so many words-- to ensure protection from eradication, misuse of darker entities and general unification of the Compact.
Notable talents to assist him would be his nature, genuine charm (oh god that can only go well), as well as diplomatic and linguistic talents. He'll be wearing his armour (ornamental steel covered in so much gold he's probably just a target for ransom at this point but YOLO), taking his champion retainer (Quiet, #26) and just generally being a convincing mf'er.
Result
It's a hard, hard sell. Most of the Abandoned groups have been being slaughtered by the Compact, the Bringers of Silence, or both and have gone into deep hiding. It's hard to find them to begin with, and while Rook is charming and persuasive enough that most are willing to hear him out, the Abandoned for the most part are very intent on plan, 'Run the fuck away' and are very, very reluctant to become prodigals by bending the knee. He softened some of them, and he thinks they might come around eventually, but only handfuls become prodigals and take up arms against the Bringers.
