Non Player Characters

In addition to his regional duty, Sheriff Milo is the burgomaster of Sothmere. An elderly man, Sheriff Milo’s right leg was badly injured in battle and never properly healed. He walks with a limp and winces if he must use it too often. Sheriff Milo is always eager to hear about adventures and offers to purchase beer for any adventurer willing to relate a tale.

While it’s painful for him to move, the Sheriff understands that he needs to be seen at this festival and can generally be encountered among the stalls, frequently stopping at any stall with an open stool where he can sit while conversing with the vendor. He can also be encountered “stalking” Ser Vilem, whom he hopes will agree to court his daughter Wanda.

Wanda is Sheriff Milo’s only child. The Sheriff had her late in life and Wanda is only now entering womanhood. She is attractive and her slight build belies her strong spirit, as Wanda has been taking care of Sheriff Milo since her mother died several years ago. Sheriff Milo wants to marry her off to a nobleman, specifically Ser Vilem, but Wanda quite likes life in Sothmere and has no desire to leave.

Wanda likes to dance and can be encountered joining other villagers in many of the folk dances being performed in front of bands. She’s not particularly interested in Ser Vilem.

Old Stoyanka is the wise woman of Sothmere. She is an apostate with Chasind blood in her veins. Her advanced age and the remoteness of Sothmere have left her unmolested by the Templars, who have more challenging pursuits than to track down a bent, half-crazed old woman whose “magical charms” are usually just herbal remedies. Old Stoyanka has a harsh, grating voice and is a bit hard of hearing.

Fiala is a hunter and an excellent archer. While she keeps her long black curls tied behind her head, Fiala has a natural beauty that shines anyway. She enjoys the wilderness but sees little beyond her usual hunting grounds in the Hinterlands.

Ser Vilem is a young knight who has been assigned to lead Fort Sothmere during the construction of the new, stone fort. Sheriff Milo has been trying to interest Ser Vilem in courting his daughter, but Ser Vilem is actually more enamored of Fiala.

The rival clan to Sinathel's hold Drakewind.

Fiorella is a twig of a woman, with mousy brown hair to her waist and the most delicate features of a maiden.  Nothing of abnormality mars her being at first glance as the Shifter keeps herself cloaked and hooded, but gazing upon her face one might gasp in awe.. Fiorella's eye is bouquet-ed.  Yes, the lady only has one eye, the other taken from her by man long ago.

However the other is truly magnificent.  Where one might have eyelashes, she grows flower petals. As one may see it is always springtime from her point of view.

She settled in these woods nearly 60 years ago.. She spends the majority of her time in meditation near the river, but this is her most sacred place.  The area has gained rumors of being haunted by a powerful entity... For once, I would believe the local legends.  Fiorella is a kind yet menacing Shifter. She values the life of all things with respect to balance and utterly detests the words of men. "Man speaks only to tip the scales for his benefit!" she would spat,"The voice of nature does not negotiate or sway truths, it simply and beautifully is."
