The Rheinland Military offered no way to get his daughter back. In fact, she was probably already wanted dead or alive by the military... and they'd probably prefer dead. Jan found it ironic that the fascist bastards up top were punishing slavery with such fervour, considering how hard the Bundschuh political prisoners worked in the mines.

He needed to get away from Rheinland for a while. They didn't care about him or his daughter. Their insane 'Church of the Chancellor' made no sense to his reasoned mind. They had a list of banned books half a mile long. They crushed the people under their immaculately polished boots, goosestepping on the faces of the populace.

This wasn't the nation he signed up to fight for as a youth. It hadn't improved, even after the expulsion of the Nomads. The Chancellor had corrupted their 'democracy' with an obviously false religion... no... a cult. The Cult of the Chancellor. It sickened Jan to see brave young men and women throw their lives away for some old bastard that sat in his opulent offices, ordering dissidents to their deaths for not believing that he was, in fact, a deity made flesh.

There had to be another way...
