From: Convene a Board Meeting of the Great Hellbound Railway

A small coalition of orphanages, churches, missions, poor-houses, and other charitable entities would like certain privileges to move goods about on the GHR's trains – for the good of the poor of the Hinterlands, of course.

Game Instructions: This will greatly increase banditry in the upper river and garner a substantial reward. If the GHR has an explicitly charitable charter, opposition from Board members concerned about the Company's finances will be lessened.

Charity?
