As the Newly Arrived, how have you done living on the fringe of society? What has it been like being an outsider? What's changed for you? Why do you now think you need others to survive?
And for those who are insiders, well within the established group, do really you need to include and let the Newly Arrived in to grow? What's changed for you? What makes you reconsider the lessons of the past?
Look inside yourselves and ask what makes you want to be part of a bigger network.

Blightburg is a player driven game of intrigue and character drama set in a grim Renaissance era city. The dramatic intrigue is spiced with occasional action, witches and Faustian pacts with demons. The characters range from shifty lowlifes and zealous fanatics to powerful but flawed individuals involved in complex schemes. As a TV series analogy, think of it as a mash-up of Game of Thrones and Salem in the Renaissance period.
