Mayor Benjamin
kZC6qdu.jpg


Backstory:
He once intended to start working for Baron Dashi as an experienced combat butler, but ended up in Yemaya after the latter retired. There, he witnessed the events throwing the city into ruins and ended up helping out with the aftermath. People started respecting his knowledge and skill enough to start considering him their mayor, so he has currently defaulted to being the acting mayor of Yemaya.

Personality:
He's a gentleman first and warrior second. However, he's proud to combine those whenever possible. He's not as much a natural mayor as he's a natural leader, so whilst his leadership is strong, his political intrigue is not.

Interests/RP involvement options:
He's always willing to teach the art of being a combat butler or battle maid to those interest, be it the fighting part or the serving/etiquette parts.

Occasionally, he'll request some aid in keeping Yemaya's ruins clear of monsters through the adventurer's guild.

Featured in:
  • Treasure in Ruins – Met the party and discussed things with the baroness.
  • Mayor Trouble – Discusses receiving additional aid for Yemaya with mayor Aldwin, under supervision (and being tested by) Retili Loxinofican.
  • More features to be added.

Backstory:
He's been working with the Adventurer's Guild as a ruins explorer for a long time, earning him some recognition and fame despite his somewhat unsocial attitude. Rumour has it that he got cursed by his own book, other rumours say he exchanged part of himself with a [beast] to make his book come alive. Other rumours state he's gotten cursed by a Fae cardinal. Whatever is true, it's clear he's rather odd, but also competent at his job.

He's currently going through the ruins of Yemaya, as there's much left of value in them to uncover and the source of the Fell Blight is still not fully uncovered.

Personality:
He's not the most social person, tending to be short and impatient. He also tends to forget giving others his name more often than not.

His book, called Elly, tends to start drooling a lot at the mention of Treasure.

Interests/RP involvement options:
If there's new ruins or places to explore in the area that need a more experienced adventurer to tag along, there's a fair chance he'll be put on the mission. For better or worse.

Featured in:
  • Treasure in Ruins – Aided the group in their exploration of the maze below Yemaya.
  • More features to be added.

Kirkwall
Country of Ryke, Sadek County, Caelia Barony, Boarder Town: Sootspire.


1684531006543.png


Kirkwall is a Village on the Ryke and Eastern Kingdom border. Situated just before Boarder Hill the Village is on the cusp of becoming a Town in its own right. In fact many would argue it already should be recognised as a town but the internal divisions of the village have rendered this argument mute. With two mayors of very opposing views recognised within the village, it takes quite a lot of negotiation for pretty much anything to get done and with no oversight from the previous Baron or Lord the village has grown sporadically and in an unorthodox way.

Houses funnel in a line following a narrow gritty road that makes it nearly impossible for carts to navigate. Likewise, the industry is practically non-existent outside of a lone bakery and carpenters. Water is supplied by two wells. Although the industry is lacking the agricultural scene is actually quite prosperous.


1684531156171.png


Just outside of Kirkwall itself, there are currently four farms producing quite a bounty. Amanda Steelhaven introduced Crop Rotation to her family's farm several years ago and since then it has slowly been adopted by the other farms in the region allowing for the mass growth of Wheat, Barley, Turnips and Colver. Beef and Wool are also produced on the farms. This is Kirkwall's main source of income and food. In fact, Kirkwood has been making quite a tidy sum by trading excess food to the Highgrove Barony.

1684531220016.png

With that in mind lets touch on the current divide within the village. Kirkwall was ignored by the previous Baron and Count despite its tactical position and growth. Combine this with the fact that at the same time, the town received favourable trade deals with the Highgrove Barony as well as off-the-record relief efforts and you have your dilemma. Thats right, Kirkwall has begun to lose loyalty toward Celia Barony. On one hand, you have Mayor Kirk whose ancestors settled the city leading the pro-Celia side of things, and on the other, you have Mayor Levin. Both are very respected individuals within the community and both represent a future the people of Kirkwall wish to see brought to fruition.

Kirk wishes to see the village elevated to a town and industry expanded to better support the people and economy.

Levin wishes to see Kirkwall elevated to a town and brought into the Highgrove Barony, who have treated the village far more favorably. Though radical in design the plan to join Highgrove has a decent level of support and stands to net the village a sizable profit in all regards.​

1684531266062.png

The people of Kirkwall are before all else a community. Everyone in Kirkwall knows one another and very little happens without knowledge of it spreading. Always keen to lend a hand the people of Kirkwall respect hard work and diligence above all else. If you need help with anything don't be shy to ask, you'll find many more than happy to do so! Just be sure you're giving it your best too, as the people of Kirkwall hate two things. Those that are lazy and those who lead without example.

Do you need help building a barn? Sure no problem! But you best be the first person on-site and the last to leave!

Lastly let it be known that the people of Kirkwall are very welcoming to outsiders, and a very diverse bunch given the proximity to the border. That said, no amount of magical apparatus could compare to the Kirkwall survivance system that is the elderly. One wrong move, one slip up, one breach of trust or slight toward its inhabitants and the people of Kirkwall will show you just how terrifying they can be.​

Interests/RP involvement options:
Anyone committing serious crimes within the Kirkwall area will meet George eventually. That being said he often appears to flirt with pretty adventurers who have gotten lost on their way to Kirkwall. You know, to help them not be lost, not to hit on them, that's outrageous.
