Hayle's isolated location combined with its wealthy population means it was fairly removed from both the abductions and the previous attacks. Most will consider both incidents a terrible misfortune, and are glad that the abductions have been resolved. Their commentary is centered more on the Summoned - who are a curiosity to many since the Summoned haven't formally visited Hayle before - than the impoverished locals who were taken. There's also chatter about Anastasia Rhett's contribution and her rare visit to Castle Thorne. The Duchess is quite popular in Hayle and holds a great deal of influence.

He'll find there aren't too many poorer areas in Hayle, at least not to the degree that one would see in Nott. The city is influenced by its prestigious university so the majority who reside here are of a certain social class.
