The Torchbearers (also known as the Pragmatic Order of Thought, or the “Pots”) believe that all people deserve liberty of thought and freedom, that slavery is an abomination, and that travel and trade should be completely unrestricted. They are, as a result of their beliefs, quite disorganized. They run safe houses and hostels in many major cities and have been known to help in the escape of those who (in their opinion) have been wrongfully imprisoned. Their symbol is a torch held aloft.
