 ===== Demographics =====
+==== Local Empire Servants ====
+Believes that someone is coming to save them, has a hard time wrapping their head around the fact that things might be turning bad, they’re basically Danish people, but rewrite this in fantasy terms
+Simple dress, but finer
+Fantasy equivalent of sad beige hyggecore
+Some kids may be like Fuck da Empire (intellectual stance)
+Fantasy tankies (black flag in scrying stone)
+==== Transient Empire Servants ====
+mostly from [[Haara]] - Closer to the goings on, obviously traveled if they’re in Vorke, likely more cynical, opportunistic
+What’s the fantasy equivalent of a sport coat and/or patagonia vest
+Likely disconnected from local community, doesn't understand or care about their needs, dismissive
+==== Locals of lower status ====
+People in Vorke who are/have been oppressed by the Empire and see its crumbling as a good thing (because what could be worse than this)
+Denied rights and access on the basis of culture and identity
+=== View of the Empire ===
+While you may find the occasional Empire defender, the vast majority of the people within this demographic are going to land somewhere on a spectrum from indifferent at the very best to overwhelmingly negatively inclined towards the Empire.
+Some kids may be like Fuck da Empire (lived experience)
+Fantasy ancoms
+==== Hurk refugees ====
+Recent immigrants from [[Hurk]] fleeing political persecution or simply leaving due to opportunities drying up. Exactly how bad things are in Hurk is probably going to depend on who you talk to and how they view themselves. Is it pride? Patriotism? Or are things simply more complicated than some would like to make them out to be. Either way, they are here now, and no longer in Hurk.
+=== View of the Empire ===
+They will largely tend to view the Empire favorably and see its crumbling as a bad thing; perhaps because what's coming is worse, perhaps because their circumstances are bound up in the fate and ongoing stability of the Empire.
+Wherever they come from is in bad shape and where they have chosen to settle represents opportunity or hope of escape from whatever threat they have left behind.
+=== Integration into Vorke ===
+Hoo boy! Complicated relationship to their culture probably!
+There's probably a lot of cultural tension, what with them coming from a fighty murder culture to a propriety and arts culture.
 ===== In Goblin Librarian =====
 It's where [[The Goblin|you]] are and where the [[Library]] is located.
