Oathlander Refugees
Posted by Apostate on 02/25/19
Inside the Oathlands, both House Greenmarch and House Laurent separately have announced they are accepting prodigal refugees fleeing the violence and persecution that has flared up against them. While widely praised by many prodigals, and progressives throughout the Compact, this has been icily received by the most belligerent houses and traditionalists wanting to purge prodigals from the Oathlands. Word spreads of a Delcambre patrol who threatened House Greenmarch soldiers accepting refugees, and many believe it is only a matter of time before it spills into violence. Some of the Oathlanders are concerned that Princess Helena, Princess Elgana, and Prince Artur Redrain were involved in the recent Greenmarch effort to aid refugees, with the possibility that the Northlanders may further turn against more Oathlander houses who are trying to 'purify' their lands. Many Oathlanders even sympathetic towards prodigals wish to see the Oathlands respond forcefully towards any invasion from the Northlanders, and believe that they should rally to the defense of Last Bridge, and any association with Northlanders at present is suspect, particularly for a house of first generation prodigals. Laurent on the other hand, as an ancient duchy, is given leeway- though some question whether they have been 'corrupted by prodigal influence'.
