Alminima Missionaries
All Above Poverty
Most residents of Vaia are desensitized to the presence of the Missionaries. They have a few volunteers on nearly every corner of Vaia, offering food and supplies to travelers, the homeless, and the overburdened. Those they approach that don't look like they need help are quickly prompted to come volunteer, even if for a day, at one of the kitchens, shops, or helping with deliveries. Groups of adventurers may be hailed and asked for help. The Missionaries never ask for credits or other handouts, always there to offer their help.
Influence
The Allminima Missionaries hold a significant amount of political power, due entirely to the strong focus of their mission. Corruption is swiftly found when it happens and is eradicated with public dishonor. To volunteer is to uphold the three tenants.
No one starves
No one sleeps cold or in the elements
No one is beyond help
While blind to most evils one of their needy patrons may have committed, they remain fully within the law of the land. They'll feed and house, and excuse all but the most heinous of crimes to help lift individuals up out of poverty, knowing that the crimes of being poor are often just that, crimes of necessity due to economic disparity.
