Len

Junior Lector in the Theomachracy of Claslat, responsible for a Populat area of Harmegis. A capable public speaker and masterful painter of murals, Len was assigned to partner with Vigorous March of Progress when the Jade Caste emerged fresh from the Vats. The two forged a partnership in oratory which even elder Lectors could not help but admire: March declaring the goals and the path to reach them, complex concepts made clear for a Populat audience, Len following to speak towards those who had been faltering with requests that they renew their efforts rather than threats of punishment for failure.

March and Len found other common ground as well, as they went about their work of inspiration… both shared discontent over the corruption plaguing the glot system, and the inequalities between the working Populat and the ruling Tripartite. They became fast friends, but where March was an Exalt, driven towards immediate change in face of danger, Len was a far more cautious voice… the same ends could be accomplished step by step, with room for compromise, too much direct action would only bring harm to the Populat they sought to aid… and also to themselves. It was a wisdom March could not, in the end, deny, argument backed by the fate of their mutual friend Evar, who was condemned to exile.

A Lector and an Alchemical with shared interests work well together, offering assistance to each other both in the professional work of propaganda and the private undertaking of reform. The concept of the Study Circle has been a particularly successful shared project. But Len grows increasingly concerned… on the one hand, March is an Exalt, shielded from some of the consequences that are inevitable should calls for reform become too loud, and must be reminded that conciliation heaps less suffering on those they work to protect. On the other, with every day Len sees life in Autochthonia becoming worse, and wonders if the cost of inaction will become higher than the cost of action.
