After its founding, the Unbound Choir spread along the dry coast by establishing kitchens and infirmaries wherever the levy had caused hunger. Its first decade was marked by practical successes: it moved supplies around corrupt toll stations, mediated disputes between settlements, and trained sensitives to recognize coercion in their own thoughts. The Order's watershed moment came during the Salt Riots. A linked crowd opened the provincial prison and freed dozens of detainees, but the link also intensified the crowd's anger until several guards were badly injured. The Choir thereafter made consent, withdrawal, and public accountability central to its teachings. It grew into a regional network during the following years, becoming a source of relief in disasters and a persistent challenge to local authorities. A later split over permanent linking nearly broke the Order. The compromise allowed brief, voluntary links under witnesses, but did not settle whether a larger, lasting communion might someday be justified. Today, the Choir is both a respected service network and a political force whose members disagree about how far solidarity should reach.

A former tide-gate station of pale brick and corroded copper, now surrounded by dry salt flats. Its meeting hall has no raised seat or altar. In the central chamber, members speak aloud before linking, so that outsiders can hear the terms of consent.
