Outcast's Welcome
Outcast's Welcome. Outcast's Welcome is the exile's passport among the discarded. In any village of the displaced — the outlawed, the debt-ridden, the disgraced, the thrown-out — the exile is taken in without question, fed what there is, given the warmest corner by the fire. And they may ask one honest question, which will be answered honestly in return. The exile has used this gift to find safe passage through lands where their face is on a bounty sheet, to learn the names of the men who burned their father's order, to discover which border captain can be bribed and which cannot. The welcome does not extend to cities of the powerful. It is a gift of the margins, and the exile has learned that the margins are where the truth is kept.
