Action by Orrin(RIP)
Orrin wishes to engage in a little extra screening action up at Pearlspire with the refugees resulting from the widespread news of increased infrastructure and a welcome to former thralls. Because he's getting refugees 1) fleeing violence (the sacking/starving of Wyndhall) that was at least partially at the hands of a Grayson vassal (Longwood), and 2) generalized violence due to Victus's proclamation, he wants to be on the lookout for folks come bearing grudges. He is also aware that he has made Pearlspire a target of ire, and wants to be better equipped to spot more directed malfeasance. He's going to be largely bankrolling and providing security support for Jyri, Natalia, and Maru to do their stuff and taking a distant leadership role - mostly because he knows his people, recommending the right people for the others to be working with (or talking to in order to find the right people).
Action by Natalia
Natalia's focus will be both on screening and in teaching Orrin's folks to screen; they're looking both for general potential troublemakers and then traitor-sorts, as well. Questions to ask, body language to look at, watching how people are interacting and integrating with others. Right now she's asssiting in checking the people that they have already received, but hopefully also preparing Pearlspire to continue to do this on their own. As a secondary objective, she will be helping with getting people settled in. Assisting in integration, making connections between people and their community, prevent not-troublemakers from turning INTO troublemakers.
Action by Jyri(RIP)
Wearing his official ARRG hat in this, Jyri uses what he has; a commanding presence and an instinct for survival, both in determining who is in most need of help and to train them for their new lives, martially and pure survival. He doesn't suffer nonsense or foolish behaviour and won't sugar coat it for them but he will also not be mean. Just telling it how it is and being fair. He'll work closely with Natalia and Maru, bringing them information he hears or learns from the refugees in order for them to assess. Furthermore, Arvum Refugee Relief Group will put some of its own funds into the effort, especially in equipment and training, or building of homes.
Action by Maru(RIP)
Maru will do what he's good at and teach the scholars up in Pearlspire how to do what he's great at: investigate. In many cases this will be supplemental training, as Pearlspire's scholars already have a fair amount of experience reviewing personal histories of incoming thralls. But the refugees and other folks coming in will have different kinds of things to look for in their histories and documentation, and that's what he'll focus on. He'll also coordinate with Natalia and Jyri to offer whatever additional training he can offer there as well.
Result
Orrin, Maru, Natalia and Jyri work on screening the refugees entering the Pearlspire. It's a good thing they did.
Natalia has a loyal following among some Abandoned groups, a few help alert her to the presence of men they recognize as former Clan Heartsworn, a particularly vile sect of cultist raiders in the far southeastern part of the Saffron Chain, knowing for cutting out the hearts of any that fall into their clutches and eating them raw. The half dozen or so Clan Heartsworn members were former thralls released and sent to Pearlspire, and according to the former Islanders at Pearlspire, this is exceedingly strange because very few Thraxian houses would ever attempt to place Heartsworn in shackles and attempt to make them thralls- they are seen as insanely violent, almost without exception, and execution is standard.
This holds up as well, since once the Heartsworn are discovered, they immediately turn homicidal and attempt to murder the guards trying to seize them with their bare hands, and have to be cut down. From Jyri and Maru's investigating this further, it appears that some unknown Thraxian traditionalist houses are attempting to capture and release the most violent and homicidal individuals they can find and release them, to undermine the anti-thralldom reforms.
