Maester Steven, do you think the Volantene masters have notably failed to integrate the freeborn population non-old blood population into the wider project of the slave society? We have the one guy claiming even the poorest man still feels himself above a slave, but if the attendance at Benero’s sermons is any indication, the proportions of freeborn and slaves are roughly correspondent to wider Volantene society. That implies to me the religious identity is overpowering the other distnintions.
