The Kennex Refugees
Posted by Apostate on 11/19/17
Under Archlector Alexsei Morgan, a great force sails into Kennex waters to provide the means for any refugees from Stormward to leave should they so choose. House Pravus' giant fleet makes up the bulk of the transport, under the command of Admiral Alrec, but they are hardly alone. Maelstrom sends an escort under orders from the Highlord of the Mourning Isles, Marquessa Lianne Pravus sends the Nilanza fleet to assist, Duchess Nicia Laurent sends a detachment from Artshall with significant ground troops, Prince Talen Velenosa has a third of Lenosia's fleet to assist, Lord Killian Ashford leads an Ashford naval detachment, Princess Katarina Valardin sends some of the Eventide detachment, and lastly the Faith send vessels lead by Dame Thena Grayhope of the Knights of Solace. The massive force has a multistage approach to helping House Kennex stabilize, with military forces of House Laurent and House Pravus, the templars led by Sir Preston, the Knights of Solace, and the questionable aid of the Valorous Few led by Shard and Baron Audric de Lire doing their part to minimize violence and provide safe passage for refugees wishing to depart Kennex. There's a great deal of outreach in terms of stabilizing Stormward, with Prince Rook Valardin and Marquis Mydas Nightgold working on transportation logistics and contributing their economic expertise to helping businesses revitalize. Seraph Ailith reaches out to members of the Faith that has numerous seraphs of local parishes coordinating their efforts to deal with the humanitarian crisis with some success. Lady Monique Greenmarch talks with many prodigal former thralls and wins trust to help the relief efforts go smoothly, donating both time and significant funds. Fortunato makes fliers that gets the word out all over Stormward that the great force is there to help, and willing to help refugees reach anywhere in the Compact. Saedrus recruits a number of new Whispers, Hana finds new disciples of Jayus among smiths, Setarco sees new courtesans, and Bianca has quite a few new scholars of Vellichor. Their efforts are intensely helpful to former thrall refugees who were in dire straits, though the recover to Kennex itself and Stormward is modest, as only a portion of those calm and aided stay in Kennex lands. But, the relief efforts led by Aleksei, as vast as they might have been, were just one part of the overall response by the Compact.
