The Duty of the Liberators of Skald

Posted by Aleksei on 02/09/20
Several years ago, Skald was returned to the Faith by proclamation of Dominus Aldwin. Soon, the formation of the Liberators of Skald, his discipleship, was to follow. One of the earliest projects of the Liberators of Skald was to build new programs of the Faith to care for those recently freed from bondage: we offered former thralls and slaves the assistance of the Faith to settle in a place of their choosing, provided room and board, and helping to secure them work in a field where they might have skill or experience, or apprenticeships to help develop new skills. All to the purpose of making certain that those who had been freed would not then fall through the cracks, unable to find their footing.

When House Kennex freed twenty thousand souls in a moment, those programs were tested, but we did not fail in our duty. Countless members of the Compact stepped forward to offer their assistance, either in the form of ships, funds, leadership, organization, or many other personal acts of support; none offered quite so much as House Pravus, who sent nearly their entire fleet to make sure the freed thralls of Stormward would have transport to their new homes.

But even if that had not been the case, the duty of the Liberators of Skald is clear. There are tens of thousands of refugees who made it to the shores of Arvum. Tens of thousands of souls recently freed from bondage. This proclamation is to make public declaration that we will not falter under these numbers, just as we remained steady those years ago. Every freed soul who wishes it will have the support of the Faith to reclaim new lives of their own choosing.

Any of those in the peerage or the commons of the Compact who are looking for a path to support these people are welcome to reach out to me; every hour, ever silver, goes towards the cause of helping those who are most in need of our aid. We will make sure that everyone who wishes to join us has an impact in changing lives.
