To the People of Stormward March
Posted by Octavia on 11/05/17
People of Stormward,
These are troubled times for all of us, and I understand your rage, your fear, and your confusion. Such a change so abruptly, like a wind snapping a sail across the ship, can break many beams. That was not our intent.
I ask you to take heart - the people of the Compact have heard your cries. The Faith is sending aid, and the peerage is sending aid. To those who owned a thrall debt that has been nullified - bring the writ of thralldom to Kennex Kay. As silver becomes available, the debt will be paid to you. I only ask your patience, because paying off all of these debts will take a long time. If that imposes hardship on your family, our Ministry of Agriculture will assist in obtaining food. No one need starve during these trying times.
To those freedmen who wish to work, see Master Ravn at Kennex Kay, and he will find you work. To those who wish to leave, the Liberators will find you passage.
To those who have resorted to banditry and piracy, know that House Kennex has never tolerated either, and that will not change. Any person caught engaging in banditry or piracy will be put to the sword, and their blood will be on their own head.
I am returning home.

We have promised aid, in the form of both pure silver and support of Kennex exports.
