Perilous Reclamation 2 (IC)

[ZarchAlDain]

Laws

There are no formal laws of Pyreal. The four leaders of the expedition use their forces to keep the peace and transgressions are handled on a case-by-case basis. Crime is punished harshly and swiftly and so far the criminal element that plagues many larger towns hasn't really formed. Crimes tend to be defined as assaults against persons, theft of property, and anything that threatens the safety of Landing. Magic is far more accepted than in Eronia and some people even openly ply the trade, although still treated with suspicion they are mostly left alone and the law protects them so long as they are careful.

Notable People - The Expedition Leaders


Sir Roschdale, Knight of Renown

Sir Roschdale is a skilled swordsman and cavalier, instrumental in putting down several rebellions and border skirmishes. He's the nominal leader of the expedition but does not have absolute authority as each other leader has command over their own people.

Sir Roschdale has:
200 humans garrisoned at Landing

Durtan Ironbeard

A veteran of many battles Durtan Ironbeard was at the forefront of reclaiming the Mountain Halls for his people. Skilled in both battle and in construction he was the natural choice to lead the expedition in that capacity.

Durtan Ironbeard has
25 dwarves garrisoned at Landing
75 dwarves garrisoned at Stoneforge

Countess Eloise Trevail

The Countess was an adventurer herself in her younger years, a talented Bard her adventuring party formed the Free States of Trevath, with each free state being led be one member of the party. Rumor has it that after years of action and adventure the life of a sedate noblewoman did not agree with her so she leaped at the chance to regain a taste of adventure while still sleeping in a comfortable bed.

Countess Trevail has
50 humans and half-elves garrisoned at Landing
50 garrisoned at Durn's Stand
20 garrisoned at Stoneforge

Elgan Graceling

Tall, slender, and blonde Elgan Graceling is very much the stereo-typical elf. A silver in her hair and lines on her face show her advancing age but her eyes are still as piercing as ever. More than one person in Landing has found themselves begging for her forgiveness after nothing more than a look. Little is known of her past, but the elves with her hold her in high esteem.

Elgan Graveling has 50 elves garrisoned at Landing

King Hailrog

The King of the Svirfneblin rarely leaves The Shallows, although he has been seen at Stoneforge a few times. He wears heavy armour and carries himself like a capable warrior but other than this little is known about him. His people are cautious and secretive so even after several years few people have seen even the first parts of their hold.

The Svirfneblin have an unknown number of both Deep Gnomes and Earth Elementals in their hold.

Brother Heltar

A dwarf of average height and build Heltar is a studious and bookish fellow. He is an expert on religious lore and loves any opportunity to share and spread those teachings, although unfortunately he tends to go into such length and detail that everyone else grows bored long before he has finished.

Brother Heltar has 20 priests and acolytes studying and working at the temple

Notable People - Commoners

Henry Butterfield - Innkeeper at the Anchor

With his growing girth and permanently red cheeks Henry is constantly running around as he tries to keep his cobbled-together Inn from falling apart. Cheerful and boisterous he welcomes all his regulars by name and keeps the Inn as well as he can without raising his prices.

Cabal Milestone - Shopkeeper

Cabal's small shop contains powders and herbs reputed to treat upset stomachs and other similar ailments. He is a scrawny nervous little man, with a rat-like nose and long greasy and straggly hair.

Old Meg - Healer

Old Meg is the expedition's healer, a half elf from the free states she's been a healer (of the non-magical variety) for most of her hundred years and is a dab hand with the sewing kit. She's patched up more wounds than most people on the expedition have had hot dinners. She runs a stall on the market where people can come to her with questions and she sells healing supplies on the side.

Irkan Irongrip - Mastersmith

Irkan is an average height but extremely powerfully built dwarf and the master-smith for the dwarven compound. He's an expert on metals, forging, refining and both weapon and armour smithing.
