New arrivals in Cadens will not be forced to stay in the offered barracks, but they won't exactly be encouraged to move out either. Though for the week leading up to the holiday, and the holiday itself, more than one soldier will mention that no one will be paying that much attention to who's coming and going after dark. It is a holiday.

And while no stipend will be offered, it's made clear that helping out around the outpost comes with monetary compensation. Even small things like delivering paperwork or tidying up are seen as worthy of a few coins for the trouble.
