Action by Astraea
Astraea has been thinking about the Faith quite a bit. She always has but never more so than now. Any turmoil in the Church has an impact on the people, the messages they send through their actions or inactions are all dominoes that topple over and have wide ranging effects. There are good people in the Faith and undoubtedly there are those who have succumbed to Abyssal corruption. She isn't prepared to begin singling people out who need the Sentinel's Justice but she can help in her own way. Leading by example and through her own actions, no matter how small. If the people hear of Astraea Redrain and feel pride that she is one of them then she will know she has done good. Continuing her trend of volunteer work where it's most needed, the princess-knight isn't above grueling labor or work others might consider humiliating or too dirty to perform. She will travel to all the shrines and make sure they are immaculately cleaned and all well stocked with prayerbooks and offerings. Traveling into the different Wards of the city isn't anything new but now she goes to teach people about the gods. Not as a member of the Faith but just as a member of the faithful who wants to spread the love of the gods to those who want it. Astraea does her best to help those in need and always tries to leave people with hope.
Action by Ectorion
Ectorion isn't much of the people person, not really. But he's a man who has great respect for the Gods, and he's a man who thinks very highly of Astraea. He'll go during his own time, and not in his armor of the King's Own, to help out with what Astraea is doing, but he's more of a background guy and silent support. Carrying things, chipping in physical work, that sort of thing.
Action by Echo
Helping out the Faith? Echo is /so/ on that. She's probably already wandered away to a shrine and begun cleaning. Sweeping floors, polishing mirrors, taking care of every little detail with as much precision as she can muster. If there's someone in need, Echo should be right there ready to help them. Of course, all this is done with a warm and genuine smile!
Action by Darren
Helping out the faith? Well, it certainly aligns with Darren's belief that the Northlands needs to run a charm campaign, and so Darren is more than happy to help out Astraea. He will make a very public showing of his support, talking up Astraea as the immensely devout and dedicated servant of the Gods she is. Additionally he'll make sure he can attend one of these "cleaning and stocking" sessions with Astraea, showing that the North supports her in her efforts.
Action by Amarantha
Manual labor? Ha. Ha. Ha. Amarantha chooses a different route in spreading the love of the gods. She sings, tells stories, and tries to spread the Faith's influence through various forms of spoken word. Whether any of her lyrics hold teaching value is debatable! But they might boost moral.
Action by Apollis
Let's go into the Lowers! Hand out prayerbooks or whatever. Astraea will give Apollis some sort of task, I'm sure.
Action by Jericho
It wasn't hard convincing Jericho to help out Astraea. Once he got her missive, he went out to help his dearest friend. While he wore his armor, he lowered himself, regardless of what his nobility or rank might suggest, just to help the people out. Let the people know that Valardin cares too.
Result
Princess Astraea Redrain organizes and leads a large scale outreach program of pious volunteerism. She and those helping her travel the different wards of the city helping perform public works and spreading Gild's charity throughout the city, and making a point to perform grueling manuel labor herself. Then she makes a public show of piety by praying at each of the city's shrines repeatedly while talking to other penitents about what they might need. It's immensely reassuring to many of the faithful that a princess of the great house of the North is so devout to the faith, and some of the Oathlands Orthodox use her as an example of what they want to see more of from House Redrain. Most of the commons love that sort of display, and are huge fans, though some of the Peers of the Realm have mixed feelings. They certainly won't criticise good works and public service that win over the commons, but some nobility do feel its beneath their dignity to roll up their sleeves and work. ((Vox updated, large gains with the Faith, moderate with redrain and other service orgs, Astraea loses some respect with the Crown while gaining affection, to represent the mixed feelings of the Peers.))
