A Promise of Hope
Posted by Giorgio on 04/17/21
As of late there have been many words directed toward those rightful citizens of the Compact who are labeled as prodigal. So many words have been said that stir bitterness in the hearts of those who have pledged themselves, with honest intention and hope for something better, to the Compact that we all find ourselves a part of. All of us who have bent the knee did so with a hope to be part of something bigger than we had known, something better than we could have hoped for on our own. And yet references likening us to ‘pardoned criminals’ who must be watched due to the likelihood that we might fail our oaths and slip back into our ‘old ways’ have become a commonplace in these last few days along with offers of payment to praise such comments. Accusations from some of our ancestors abandoning the Compact in ages past, when we know that in some circumstances it was our ancestors that were left to fend for themselves against the darkness, and yet still we see the bright future of what could be with the Compact.
Recently Leporidae and our allies have emerged victorious in the War of Two Queens. We have attained lands fertile for farming and for settling. Therefore, as Voice of Tremorus, I offer this with the full blessing of the Marquessa for whom I speak. If you find yourself, like so many, a prodigal in lands that make you feel unwelcome at every turn… join us. We offer a home to those who feel unappreciated. Those who feel that even though they have bent the knee and joined honestly with the Compact, they are somehow still not enough because of the circumstances in which they were born. We offer you a home within the Compact where your unique history will not be snuffed out and where you will be celebrated for who you are because we are all stronger together. Transportation as well as resources to assist with the transition will be available.

Please remember if you decide to join beneath House Leporidae, you do so without breaking the oaths you've already made. Oathbreaking is much worse than being a common criminal.

There is nothing lower than an oathbreaker.
--- Mazetti Stance via Cambria ---
House Mazetti would appreciate clarification as to where and how transportation and resources would be applied.
--- Tessere Stance via Gaspar ---
House Tessere commends House Leporidae for doing as so many other esteemed and noble houses have done for so many years to so many different peoples.

Oh, we /like/ this. Ambition cloaked as altruism. I do remember a pirate making a similar offer not so long ago.
--- Amadeo Stance via Orland ---
When we paint all prodigals with the same brush, it shows how dirty the water has become. The richest of colors in a painting is created by various brush sizes and clean water. House Amadeo also welcomes those who are free of oaths and whom need a home.
--- Templars Stance via Preston ---
The Faith will be certain to dispatch sufficient additional resources and Templars to these lands to provide the required guidance on our traditions and shared faith for all these flocking to the fringes of the Compact.
