On a muggy and misty morning you rise at the crack of dawn to meet Tākaren in a jacīla-infested mud pile she is working on. You haven't been up this early since you were in chains but she insisted you meet before her shift started.
“Good morning, thank you for meeting me, I hope we can come to a mutual understanding.”
*Hph. Fancy wordsayer. But words aren’t food. Words aren’t coin. I am with three hungry children and a hundred hungry workers. You? A helper of us? How?*
>Freedfolk, enslaved people, and citizens are united by poverty. The rich pit us against each other when we should rise against the common source of our problems.
>Slavery and freedfolk working starvation wages mean citizens won’t be hired for fair wages.
>As long as the Nobility can point at us and tell you that you are better, Citizens will never fight for their interests against a system that harms you. Your people will never cast off the boot on their neck if they believe they will wear it one day.
