SIEGFRIED WOLFHARD

In my homeland of golden hills and verdant grasslands with pine trees scattered throughout I was a LEGEND.
Every village maiden knew the name Wolfhard. As did every Noble across the Kingdoms. I have dreamt of my homeland many times and I know this to be true.

My impeccable combat prowess, charming moustache, swift steps through the sands...
Sharp and pointy rapier, one hand on my back, focused eyes...
The predator's look at my opponent...
A confident inspiring wink at my closest ally... the hopeful tear that flows from their eye...

There is nothing I can do wrong.

This desolate wasteland I have awakened in...
They ask of the Wolfhard, are you ready?

I ask thee.

Are you?

Please bring back the Fencing fighting style because it is perfect for the Fencer class

DIO, SOLDIER

You gave me the order to keep my eyes peeled for new arrivals.
Here's today's report on suspicious individuals:

OSRICK LOCKE, OLD

Old man that still knows how to fight. Should be a hunchback by his age. Strength seems unnatural. Pretty sure he's using a carriage load of narcotics to achieve his feats.

ISKANDAR, SCREAMING

Some Agaslakku worshipping bard that sings about violence. However I personally witnessed him get taken down by a couple of small snakes. Deliberately sabotaging Agaslakku's reputation. Haven't figured out a motive.

TRISTAN AVORRA, NEW

Some run of the mill fighter. He is so unnoticable and bland that it became noticeable. Possibly an agent of foreign government or Djinn courts.

PEPPEROTE, DRUNK

A Halfling jester, drunk during battle. Behaves like a Gnome. Very annoying. We must be wary she doesn't disturb any public ceremonies.


Signed,

SIEGFRIED, SCARAB

Qadira. Soon as possible. Main tavern.

B.

[A very simple, perhaps common, paper lays on the floor at the Creep.]

Muscle for hire. Beat them up, kill them, rob them. You pay, I act.
No friend of Janissaries. No friend of friends of Janissaries.

Ask around for Brutus.

It's a joy to expand one's hunting grounds to where prey concentrates. Hells, I used to have to watch groups of nomads for days to see if they even had anything to take.

But now, ha! Ephia's Well! Bloody treasure hoard. Unarmored lambs walking around feeling perfectly protected. They're only one strike away from me pillaging their belonings, paradise.

Were it not for those Janissaries! Decent soldiers, got to play it smart. But knowing myself they'll probably piss me off and get me into a mad rush.

I'll die before I waste life away with menial labor though. It is what it is, Agaslakku provides

Dear Rocco d'Est,

I would like to speak with you on matters of faith.

I feel like the rank names do not represent what the characters actually do.

Balladeer: a person who sings ballads. Many aren't Bards.
Lyrist: a person who writes words for songs. Most don't write songs.

As far as I understand the faction concept is broader than just the arts. I think many players prefer to play martial knights and act like nobility of the old world and represent the behavior and morals of the old world.

I'm a balladeer but I don't write ballads.
I'm a lyrist but I don't write songs.

Priestess Sofia d'Andrea,

you claim I was present to witness an exchange of threats to your life within the Krak des Roses.
I write you to inform you I wasn't anywhere near such an event.

Martyn Ashguard

Ronald,

Gratitude for your kind reaching out to us.

The alchemy thing, is taken care of and I needn't your gracious help with.

Your problem however, we're elated to help you with.

Summon us with the words "I need my friend, to fix my broken lute".

Find us by sitting down in the Creep, the large general area.
You'll be contacted whilst you wait there.

the Black Broker

Ho Jerrod Felch,

It is Harold Harkin writing you.
We barely know each other. But we both spend an awful lot of time in the Creep.

I'm not hanging around the Creep as a champion of the people.
I'm a bridge between worlds. I negotiate and broke make deals.

Now, I hear you are after somebody's hide, so to speak.
But that somebody's important to me businesswise.

And though we haven't really any had much to do with each other...
It'd be great if we could meet and talk about this problem.

Conversation can solve a lot!

Chraub,

'tis Harold writing ye.

Ye have that faroff camp in the middle of what I'd call the valley of death and destruction.

Was wonderin if a businessman like myself can fetch ye stuff ye want for some dinar thrown my way.

Write me up a list or whatever that you'd like me aquire and sell to ye.
OK?

Gaston Fournier,

your paintings were seen by I as I walked the College of Balladeers.
I may not look it, but I am an art lover and I want to have my portrait done by you.

I don't need it to be realistic, feel free to go creative or whatever you like.

Pay you a thousand, sound good?

HAROLD HARKIN

Jerrod Felch,

I've got a shaman mask for sale for those with a contemptable heart.
No offense of course.

It's grandious in it's power.
Know anybody that'd want that, like perhaps yourself?

Dear Apothar Oscar,

If there are folk actively endangering the Well and you see no way to stop them in any legal or peaceful means.

Then reach out to operative Sidebird. And all your problems can be sweeped away, like with a Nadiri broom.

- Sidebird

Janissary Lightdew,

For 5,000 dinar you get the name of a Brooker.
One that is highly discreet and unlikely to currently be under investigation.

Leave note for Sidebird.

Do not attempt a scam. Actions have consequences.

why not

Legate Domhnall Guivarch,

I could not help but notice a White league Legate being guarded, flanked, by two Janissaries.
The Janissaries whether they like it or not reflect the color of Purple, potentionally Gold, but definitely not White.

Would it not be safer for you to consider the hiring of me, a Recluta of the Banda Rossa, to guard you properly during these Assemblies? Think of the additional diversification of your protection portfolio. Any Janissary conspiracy, I as a Recluta, would not be a part of. I would be a shield to that.

And think about Aubrey's face when she sees a member of the Cinquefoil Rose by your side rather than hers. Pretty sure she regards us all her primary support base.

Recluta Borik Kozlov

Esteemed banker Al-Samar,

I wish to meet with you to discuss my capable services to your person and organization.

You stand under protection of the Sultan and his Fourth Legion.
But why not diversify your profile with an individual Banda Rossa?

It will extend your sphere of influence and create diverse safe havens.

Now though protection is the most straightforward and obvious offer to make.
There is room for creative thinking, I am not so beholden to certain factors as Janissaries would be.

Let me know if this enticed you enough.

Recluta Borik Kozlov

Legate Marcellus,

As I respect your time, I shall be brief.

My name is Khorbar Khuzam, an expert in verification of scholarly works.
Skilled because I am blessed to serve Izdu as Priest and humble servant.

I would strongly advice accepting my services, for agents of vile Gellema are spreading lies at an unprecedented rate. Sometimes I feel Her influence is so great, She even moves unwilling quills!

With me as advisor and loyal servant to the best Government the Ash Wastes were ever blessed with, I could help ensure the free flow of knowledge and science. Knowledge and science that is carefully inspected to be the TRUTH.

I look forward to your reply wise Legate.

With kind regards,

Father Khorbar Khuzam of Izdu
