This is the home and business of the village leatherworker and his wife, her brother (a simpleton who does not bear arms), and three children, the eldest of whom is a 12 year-old boy. The leatherworker is a 'jack of all trades', being shoemaker, bootmaker, cobbler, saddler, harness maker, and even fashioner of leather garments and armor, the latter requiring some time and a number of fittings and boiling. He is not interested in any sort of adventuring, but is a militiaman, as is the boy.
