Alarissa's Renovations
Posted by Apostate on 11/11/17
Princess Alarissa Thrax, the Princess Consort of Maelstrom, has completed a project of major renovations in the Thrax Estate's thrall quarters. The dehumanizing conditions that have long existed there, and were ruthlessly maintained during Donrai Thrax's reign, have been completely replaced by clean, comfortable living quarters. While still communal, they are much more akin to the same conditions one would expect house servants to live in. There's some minor rumbling from Peers of the Isles, who believe treating thralls as people and humanizing them might encourage revolts and violence from the yolk being lessened, but that's mostly from only a few of the most reactionary voices that are usually not all that well regarded even in the Isles themselves, and overall reaction is extremely positive. The type of individual that kept the crushing conditions before was feared, but he certainly wasn't liked, much less loved.
