empires fall when we move the unmovable, so tell me all of my secrets, tell me all of my lies,
If the Order came to their doorstep, it might be easier to see a compass in action. A big if, but a possibility nonetheless. Either that, or she needs to get back out into the world.
As for Abandoned - the Launceleyns that are still around are almost all Ascended now - how that happened, she'll never know. “There are already some who have strong ties to Ascended.” She can think of three off the top of her head. “If we could encourage the rest to come see you instead of the heralds, do you think you might… show them a little favor? So they don’t feel so Abandoned?” It’s a bold ask and she knows it, but Wessex knows well how attached the Outlander Abandoned became to the heralds and how Natural Abandoned still feel resentment.
“Sometimes the first answer they get ends up swaying their minds entirely.” It's stupid, but it's true. Loyalty can be bought, sometimes for the very low price of an answered prayer. Hell, even Ascended feel that way sometimes.
"And what better way to show that the heralds are still assholes who are stuck in the past? While are for everyone, not just the Ascended."
See, she has been paying attention to the importance of making friends.
