We stand against the Union, the Outer Lords, and other existential threats to humanity. As we strive for this ideal, we will also work to keep harm, to the Sleeper Community, to a minimum. Resolution 2: The Imnizaska Sanctuary Chantry agrees to protect the node and the sacred nature of it as a place of cultural importance to the Lakota. With the agreement met, the Lakota will provide their Blessing to speak with the Star People in order to learn of the node's location and acquire it for the Chantry.
