The Faith and Thralls
Posted by Apostate on 11/04/17
The Faith is here to help, that's the message from Legate Orazio, Commander Thena of the Knights of Solace, Archlector Aleksei, Archscholar Bianca, Archlector Madeleine, Disciple Hana and more. Now, admittedly, most probably didn't expect Marquis Ford to immediately abolish thralldom in his domain and put the Faith on the spot to immediately do so, but the traditionalists in Thrax are watching them all VERY carefully. Whether they come through will show Thrax whether all they can count on for the Faith is their 'thoughts and prayers' or whether they will put forward cold, hard cash.
Similarly to Madeleine offering to do meditation, Duchess Margot Tyde made a proclamation humanizing the plight of the thralls, and asked for compassion and empathy. It does help soften some of the harder edges about the debate, even if a great many in the Compact are unsympathetic towards thralldom as an institution and feel it needs to be confined to the ash heap of history.
