 The story the Libertine Assemblies will tell you is that they bravely defied the hierarchies of the Diamond Orders, cast off millenia old traditions hearkening back to an Atlantean past, and focused instead on the vibrancy and creativity of the denizens of the Fallen World. That when their struggle spread across the globe, it gave hope and purpose to the Unnamed orders, acting as some sort of call to action which brought them all together in glorious purpose, a united front.

 The Assembly of the Unnamed Nation knows better. Before the industrial revolution swept across Europe and the Americas, before the bourgeois revolutions of the 18th century, before the Free Council dared to tell the Exarchs to go take a walk, the Nameless Nations gathered at the roots of the Martyr's Tree. Here, at least, the Nameless did not find protection and respect under the wing of the Free Council, rather the Free Council found protection and respect among the Nameless Nation.

 What came to be known as the Children of the Tree formed from the remnants of the Lenape will workers, and indeed any Awakened of whatever origin or creed, should they deny membership in the Pentacle orders. Given the Lex Magica had already affirmed by silver law concordance and Harmony that the Unnamed had a seat at the table and granted the Children of the Tree right of Recognition, the truth of the matter is that the first Libertines to set foot in Philadelphia did so with the blessing of the Unnamed Nation. As peers, not as colonizers.

 This is a debt the Libertine caucus can never fully repay. To this day they work in partnership with the Children of the Tree, attempting to meld ancient wisdom with modern pragmatism and a unity of purpose with a free spirit.
