Visitors of Note to Farkeep’s Guest (Fencing) Hall

The steward of Farkeep is proud of the Keep’s tradition of hospitality, opening its guest hall to any peaceful traveller. But he pays careful attention to the identity of visitors, in case some warrant the Castellan’s notice. On ordinary nights (excepting fairs and festivals) the Fencing Hall might have a smattering of farmers, vagrants, herders. But some guests are more notable.
