<p>Gloriana's Crusade to better Golarion, perhaps strategically sound, is rife with tactical flaws. Nobles who follow Stavian will not easily change their colors. Nobles who follow the Sovereign Court will invariably run afoul of their peers, easy to turn a noble cause into the scent of treason. And it is that scent which has led so many to Pharasma's care.

<p>In reference to your discussion
<br />
The cost of slave ownership is higher than paying wages, it also entails risk of loss wherein rent of skill yields no similar risk. The aquisition of slaves generally involves less than legal operations which are not in line with Absolom's national interests. Finally capital investment in slave ownership is by far higher than simple rent, whereas the training fee is the same. You may also find methods of motivation far easier and less burdensome (morally, spiritually, and economically). This logical approach may yield more support among the merchantile nature of this city rather than emotional pleas or wanton threats.</p>A mild mannered, and heavily armored pathfinder stops.
