==People==
*The Rufous Baron, ruler of Junction
*The sage proves to be a small man, barely five feet tall, who dwells in one of the larger, more solid homes in Junction. The walls are stone, the roof timber shingled in slate. His house is cramped and filled with all manner of possessions. "I am Brassan Cen" he says, "of Weld, in the far east. I have moved to Junction recently as my studies focus on the Skeldrene Dynasty, which once ruled the lands west of here, roughly defined by the Basilisk Hills.
*The Baron maintains a large keep east of Junction, on the road to Rhea's Ford, but for most purposes the Seneschal conducts day to day business in Junction itself, in a long, low building with a stone foundation and clapboard siding above. It's big, it's well-made, and it serves multiple purposes: the City Watch operates from it, and they maintain a number of holding cells for short-term prisoners or those to be transferred to the dungeons of the keep; the Baron's tax collectors operate out of here, as does a customs office that oversees trade.

Seneschal Beorthmac is a large, florid man sporting wild chin whiskers and a habit of breathing through his mouth. He motions the adventurers to sit. "I understand you have questions for me!" he exclaims, after everyone has seated, "what can I do to help?"
*"I am called Micma Ume", the man says, "and am a purveyor of . . . interesting weapons, shall we say. (weapons dealer in Rheas Ford)
*Seek out Pord's contact, one Kirra Lec whom they are supposed to escort north.
*There is also the company -- the Northern Mercantile Exchange -- that Feargus had received a letter of introduction to the previous night. The woman, one Cynza Dalin, gave him directions to an office located off the North Road, behind a Twill's Tavern, and ask for a "Matts".
*Sanke One-eyed, bandit queen of the eastern Zelaia Plains and Ghawla Hills
*The Risen Moon, a tribe of ''cerves'' that roams the eastern Zelaia Plains, led by Hafaha, son of Haki
*Lidded Eye Clan, hobgoblins
