Resources

  • Relationship (bodyguard): ‘Tiny’ Adam – The Favour’s Labourer and Bouncer
  • Relationship (minor family): Heidi– Younger sister and barmaid. She is much more than a barmaid and is trusted to run The Promise is Will is required to leave.
  • Relationship (significant forbidden romantic): Baba Jolana – Some call them witches but never to their faces. Those who respect them call them midwives and grandmothers (Baba), but they are much more than that. Each village will has one such woman, who cares for the needs of the women and children. They are forbidden by their tradition to know a man and if her relationship with Will were to become known then there would be Trouble. All local groups, from outcasts to gentry respect her word.
  • Affiliation: Belstead Village – Belstead has no nobility to rule it. When the villages meets to make decisions then there are a few people whose voices are listened to more than others. The doctor and the watch sergeant are amongst them; so is Will.
  • Gear: Clothes and shoes. Will’s cloths are of only slightly higher than average quality for the village. They are usually stained.
  • Gear: Medium sized Business. The King’s Promise is a moderate sized inn. Grapes for the wine are supplied from the local farmers, other brews are bought in from elsewhere. The inn comfortably supports Will, Heidi and its staff.
  • Reputation: Fair. All know that any who come to The King’s Promise will be given the opportunity to be speak. They will be listened to and helped or hindered as is deemed fair.

Beliefs

  • The King is Dead. Long Live the King – The King may have left no blood heir. There will be a moral heir. We should find him and we should support him.
  • The Inn is a sanctuary. No Law but the King’s Law applies – Since the King’s promise was made, no law but the King’s applies. Now there is no law but what is made locally.
  • A man is not fighting if he is talking or drinking.

Instincts

  • If someone is in trouble, hide them.
  • Greet everyone with a smile.
  • Try to choose the right person for the right job.
