The Aether Sect had always been treated with disdain except for a few honorable members. Sage was the most well known but Raistar was not far behind him in fame either. They raised aether children to be more tolerant of the world and to leave their revenge behind.
The results were good. Aether children that were not resentful or blindly raging against the rest of the world made the ancient banditry of the Aether Sect fade from memory. However, the foundation had always been laid in anger.
Kelvin's death, while all that witnessed it affirmed he was possessed, was treated like a massive betrayal. Lind Frey was made out to be a supreme monster by them, especially Lord Rain.
However, his antics lead to groups slaughtering many slavery rings that led back to Cimmeria. While slavery was not endorsed as an end all solution for crime or other social issues, it was acknowledged it was abused quite often so raids on them were ignored to a point.
