Editing ALVATIA: Ingsby - Rectory (section)

===Father Wallace===

[[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Rectory#Father_Wallace|Father Wallace]] is a devout follower of [[ALVATIA:_Religion_-_Saint_Carmund|Saint Carmund]], although not as confrontational as some. He has no qualms with destroying rodents, but burning a witch would make him distinctly unhappy (unless the magician were obviously depraved and evil). Fortunately, there has never been a witch formally discovered in Ingsby -- of course, [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Rectory#Father_Wallace|Father Wallace]] (like most rural priests) opposes hedge magic more by preaching than by inciendary purgation.

[[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Rectory#Father_Wallace|Wallace]] is 38 years old, with short brown hair worn in a bowl cut, and a strong build. He comes from [A SLIGHTLY LARGER TOWN], where his free family had saved enough money to send him to study at the College in Ornefail. He has been parish priest here for about nine years; before coming here, he served for a five years at the monastery of ''-ONE OF THE MONASTERIES-''. The monks of ''-THAT MONASTERY-'', supposedly holy men, were more worldy and unruly than almost everyone in Ingsby; 
[[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Rectory#Father_Wallace|Wallace]] is glad of the change. 

His relations with Sir Dennis, lord of the manor, are good, and he is appreciated by most of the villagers. They remember well the previous priest, an aggressively devout man named Donald; he made few friends among the villagers, and quite irritated Sir Dennis and his father, Sir Oliver. 

Both [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Rectory#Father_Wallace|Father Wallace]] and Sir Dennis agree that the fugitive, Auberon, who has taken sanctuary in the shrine, should not be turned over to [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Inn#Sargeant_Gerard|Gerard]], sergeant of the Sheriff of Vilgarth. On the other hand, there's no reason to coddle Auberon, and the sooner he leaves town, the better. See [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Shrine|Ingsby Shrine]] for more details.

While sworn to celibacy as a priest of [[ALVATIA:_Religion_-_Saint_Carmund|Saint Carmund]], [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Rectory#Father_Wallace|Father Wallace]] still has ... urgings, if you will. In the spring and fall, when the markets and festivals are especially licentious, Wallace will go on a rodent exterminating rampage after a few days of glancing at frolicking maidens. His rampages seem to deal with his excess energy, and help to keep down the rat population.
