>
> Alban Hearst to Petra Bellweather, "Revolution, Part 1"

Alban Hearst directs the Camarilla as they kidnap witches and house them in animal cages, performing experiments on them. He orders the capture of Raelle Collar, determined to test the limits of her witchbomb power and see how it might be turned to the Camarilla's ends. He subjects her to a number of cruel experiments. Each results in her death and each time she is revived by the power of the mycelium. Eventually, he subjects her to the witchplague. She is rescued by her mother, Willa Collar, who uses Christo-pagan healing working to absorb the plague, sacrificing her own life in the process. Raelle is then rescued by Abigail Bellweather, Adil and Scylla Ramshorn, but Hearst manages to escape.

Hearst later leads a direct attack against Fort Salem, using the stolen vocal powers wielded by the Camarilla, as well as once again the witchplague. The witches manage to repel the attack, but Hearst once again manages to escape. During the battle, he encounters Petra Bellweather, taunting her by telling her that he'll be paying a visit to her daughter and Adil, saying that their union must be prevented.

Following the attack, Hearst sits together with Blanton Silver, the Vice President of the United States of America. They discuss his daughter, Penelope Silver, who was used as a sacrifice during the attack as the carrier of the witchplague. Silver comments that it's not every day that one kills their own daughter. In response, Hearst tells him that he will be considered a hero. He continues that Kelly Wade, the President of the United States, will pay for her collusion, referring to him as "Mr. President."

The foundational principles of War College are said to be to know, to constantly be seeking the truth no matter where it leads you and to dare to be utterly fearless: not just in facing the enemy, but also what lies inside you.

Taylor Hickson

**Taylor Hickson** (born 11 December 1997) is a Canadian actress and singer-songwriter. She portrays Raelle on Freeform's *Motherland: Fort Salem*.

Hickson was badly injured when her car was impacted during filming, forcing her character's absence in certain episodes of the third season of *Motherland*, with a minimal role in some others.

## Biography

Taylor Hickson stars as Raelle Collar on Freeform’s highly anticipated original series, “Motherland: Fort Salem.” Raelle is a reluctant recruit with major authority issues whose mother recently died in the line of duty.

Born and raised in Canada, Hickson’s career began at the age of twelve, singing alongside her father on stages throughout British Columbia. As her passion for music deepened, she began writing her own material and graduated high school a year early to focus on her music career. She fell into acting after a relative encouraged her to audition for an agency at 16 years old. One of her first roles was a part in the psychological thriller “Blackway,” opposite Anthony Hopkins, Ray Liotta and Julia Stiles. She followed that with a lead role in the Canadian indie “Hunting Pignut,” based on writer/director Martine Blue’s true-life story. Hickson has been working non-stop ever since.

On television, Hickson starred on SYFY’s groundbreaking series, “Deadly Class.” Executive Produced by Joe and Anthony Russo, the series follows a disillusioned teen recruited into a high school for assassins during the late 1980s counterculture. She also starred in the SYFY’s apocalyptic series “Aftermath,” opposite Anne Heche.
On film, Hickson had a lead role in the critically acclaimed indie drama “Giant Little Ones,” alongside Josh Wiggins, Maria Bello and Kyle MacLachlan. Additional credits include “Deadpool” opposite Ryan Reynolds, “Everything, Everything” opposite Amandla Stenberg and Nick Robinson, and the indie thriller film “Residue.”

While acting and music are two of Hickson’s greatest passions, she also has a big place in her heart for charity and actively supports International Justice Mission and Free the Children, both of which focus on saving or preventing children being sold into child slavery and providing relief to children living in extreme poverty. Hickson has participated in food drives and raised funds for both organizations. While still in high school, she raised enough money to build a school for underprivileged children and provide them with school supplies.

Call

When a Witch becomes old enough to join the Army of the United States, each Witch receives the Call at midnight at the end of Conscription Day. Each Witch is to recite the oath of enlistment upon receiving the Call.

**Oath of Enlistment**
“I, (insert name here), do solemnly pledge to protect and defend the United States of America against all enemies, foreign or domestic. I will faithfully serve and obey the rules and articles for the government of the Army of the United States, all secrets keep, all lawful commands willingly performed as dictated by the Salem Accord.”

The beginning of the Call is signaled with amber sparks. While reciting the oath, the sparks levitate in the air and is decorated with a white, red, and blue ribbon. The ribbon “burns” as each person recites the oath, giving the appearance that each person only has a certain amount of time to answer the Call.

At the conclusion of the oath, the amber sparks turn into the soldier’s identification medal.

Salem Accord

**The Salem Accord** is a decree declaring the witches' compulsory draft to the United States Army. Sarah Alder and the Massachusetts Bay Militia. signed the Salem Accord on February 19, 1692, in Salem, Massachusetts. It was later drafted into the Constitution of the United States. This document spared witches from persecution but conscripted them and future generations as a military force. This agreement is binding in both legal and supernatural ways.

The Salem Accord states:

> Be it enacted by this general assembly that any child born of a witch shall be held a witch, according to the condition of the mother, and shall deliver herself bodily to Fort Salem for training in the military arts.
>
>

The Salem Accord bound United States witches directly to the government in ways that went beyond mere paper. Sarah Alder was able to defy certain conventions of the Accord, but at great cost.
Chippewa Cession

**The Chippewa Cession** is large, roughly specified territory, spreading from the southern to the northern border of United States of America, alongside Mississippi River. It borders with Wisconsin, Illinois, Virginia, Mississippi, and Florida to the east and Dakota, Kansas, Louisiana and Texas to the west. Seven different Native American groups control their own territory within the Cession, which Scylla describes it as "nations within a nation".

The land was ceded back to Indigenous Tribal Federations in the 1830s in
 return for help. That help includes work that keeps the
original Salem Accord signer, Sarah Alder, alive over 300 years later.

## Culture

English and Ojibwe are widely spoken, however the Cession consists of seven language groups - Salish, Shoshone, Lakota, Ojibwe, Mvskoke, Iroquois and Cherokee - each with their own distinct cultural practices.

Witch and civilian populations seem to mingle more freely in the cession compared to other states in the United States. Due to this, some witches practice a Christo-pagan faith in the Cession that is separate from the monotheistic faith practiced by most witches in the rest of the country.

## Comparisons to the Real World

According to the map from the opening of the show, its takes up what would have been the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Additionally, the creation of the Chippewa Cession means a number of other states do not exist within the United States of *Motherland: Fort Salem*, including Indiana, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina (replaced instead by "Carolina"), North Dakota and South Dakota (similarly replaced by “Dakota”), Tennessee, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Alabama. Furthermore, the shapes of several other states are distorted in order to accommodate the Cession.

Notably, despite this, the American flag seen within the series, in episodes such as "Mother of All, Mother of None" still has 50 stars. The show's opening sequence depicts a flag with 30 pentagrams in place of stars.

## Leadership

The Chippewa Cession is ruled by a group of people known as the Council of the Great River. The Council consists of seven representatives representing the seven different territories within the Cession. The members of the Council are generally known to be fair, but do not always agree with each other. They are made up of members of several different Indigenous American peoples. Their decisions are considered final within the Cession and are enforceable as law by the Cession Marshals.
