Normally id jump at the chance, but raiding caravans isnt really something Silk would twig onto immediately, partly because she is kinda born-inside as it were and doesnt see anything wrong with slavery in and of its self (as is the case with most people under Realm rule) and hasnt had any kind of life experience to teach her otherwise. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Being enslaved by both the fair folk and the Guild would tend to change that outlook ;)<br/><br/>Plus Kheldaran has a dislike for the Guild, and if the opportunity arises to mess with them, he'll often take it.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=239807.msg11833417#msg11833417">Quote from: AndyZ on 20-11-2015, 05:05:41</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I think Seven Words of Wisdom is going to have the same view on slavery that most of my Exalted characters have: that most freed slaves won't be able to fend for themselves.<br/><br/>If you free a slave, you should be prepared to teach them a trade, offer them some way of existence, or otherwise have something to do beyond find another master/mistress to keep them fed, clothed and sheltered.<br/><br/>Recruiting sounds like you have that part covered, though.<br/><br/>While Seven Words of Wisdom wouldn't be adverse to taking in an educated slave, such a thing is practically a contradiction in terms, and she has little use for the uneducated.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Most slaves would have had some kind of trade before being enslaved though.

Transcendent Starlight Beauty may have heard Silken Rays of Hope preach at some point or another, and found her drive appealing? Kheldaran and Seven Words of Wisdom might make contact if Kheldaran does anything that involves moving texts or information, as Seven Words of Wisdom is the chief archivist at the library in Akhetan.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Kheldaran does, but his other identities don't. Old Wolf may practice some weird drunken style mind you. Crane style might give them a starting point, if or when Krum saw Kheldaran using it.<br/><br/>I don't think I'd be looking for texts any time to start with though.<br/><br/>
