 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)

 ==== Hurk refugees ====
-Recent immigrants from [[Hurk]] who see the empire crumbling as a bad thing (because what’s coming is worse)
+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.
-Wherever they come from is in bad shape and they generally view the empire favorably because it represents opportunity or hope of escape from whatever threat they have escaped
-Complicated relationship to their culture probably!
+=== View of the Empire ===
-Cultural tension (murder culture vs. propriety and culture)
+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.
