Lord Percy has been associated with Mary Dumas, however the rumor is that neither of them like the other and any match there would be an arranged one that neither would want.

  • Donna Dumas, wife of John Dumas is a 40'ish woman who was once quite attractive, but now time is taking a toll on her looks. She is vain and takes special care to make herself appear as attractive as possible. She is a strong ally in her husband's political career in the Guild.
  • Mary Dumas, daughter of John and Donna Dumas, is a very pretty woman just turned 20, with both a roving eye and an adventurous spirit. She is chaffing just a bit at her life in Slateholm and would prefer doing important things rather than helping to host dinner parties and helping her father's political career in the Guild. Both her father and mother are seeking an advantageous marriage for Mary...they have their eye on Lord Percy, younger brother of Duke John. She would rather die!
  • John Dumas, junior is a 13 year old boy, son of John and Donna Dumas, and something of a "wild child." Junior, as he is called is spoiled and full of himself. He is also much too curious for his own good.

Madeera was the first manifestation of Law. She carries every law of reality, a dictate
called the Covenant, written on her skin in precise symbols.

 
ORD (NEUTRAL)

Ord the Unbending, the Wise, the Secret-Keeper. He is the god of magic, knowledge, secrets, and equilibrium.

leonine being whose ultimate ambition is to rend the cosmic laws of the Covenant from his
sister’s skin.

The Dock District:

The Shield and Trident and Adventurer's Guild Hall is in the Dock District, a fairly safe area catering to sailors and local townsfolk that is regularly patrolled by the Town Guard. Everything here is lower to lower middle class. Inns are safe-ish and taverns toss out rowdies or anyone who starts a fight. This is were respectable folk come to have a good time.

 
North Side District:

North of the Dock District, you enter the North District which is pretty tightly controlled by a criminal gang (think, dark side of the Thieves Guild) and is unsafe for anyone working there who isn't either in, or paying, the gang. Dive bars, baudy houses, gambling hells, and flophouses abound. Pockets get picked on the street, throats get slit in dark alleys, and most anything can be had for a price. However, there is a sort of order here, an order imposed by the Gang. Respectable folk tend to stay away unless they are desperate for something that can't be had elsewhere. Come here if you are willing to pay the Gang and obey the Gang rules.

 
The South Slums District:

South of the Dock District are slums which are generally unsafe and poor picking to boot. Crime is less controlled, but just as bad, here. Inns are flophouses. Taverns are dive bars. Everyone is poor and desperate and likely to do unto you if they think they can get anything from you. Travel here at your own risk, especially at night.
