Central
Suburbia is known as the most poor and dangerous section of the city. Mostly
poor and various unwashed live here though they still are citizens and this
area would be more middle class and considered safe in any other town. There
are many "gabgs" in the area made up of
(usually) young toughs who live in the blocks themselves.

The Brothers
Bold are actually a clan of brothers that live in the Stonehaven
block. They are 15 brothers (all from the same mother, but not father!...a
secret) in all but also many of the boys from this block of all ages have
emulated this group and call themselves part of the Brothers Bold (a brother
from another mother).
They tend to
be bullies but also have some nobility. They seek glory and some of the oder members are already adventurers (the Screaming Griffon
put some of them in their place in the year 19).
The current
gang of the Brothers Bold are below…all are Lawful Neutral and tend to be
persistently willing to get their asses kicked as they wont give up even after
a defeat or three!
Lars (Born Yr 5) - The oldest, he is their leader and
Captain. He is the most cunning of the lot (not saying much) and is a bit
effeminate.

This large section
is used primarily for the entertainment of the masses. Minstrels, musicians and
various entertainers are employed to put on shows for the populace. Should the
patron be unable to pay the cost is absorbed by the Regentess. As so many
entertainers and bards come to train with the druids there is a wide selection
to choose from. Further, the druids also "recommend" the bards do
some charity work during their studies.
The Theatre
holds 500 people with a stage like most Shakespearian types. There are 3 tiers
of balconies with the upper tiers reserved for the paying customers. The front
row seats are amongst the throngs (standing) and thus the best seats are
usually free!
The first floor
of the structure will have a ticket office at the door. Tickets will be
required whether or not you are a paying patron. Once a ticket is given a map
of the building is included. The map will detail a shelter for homeless people.
There will be approx 50 cots with a separate area for wash basins and
facilities including clean towels and soap. On the side of the shelter there
will be a soup kitchen. Inclusive of the kitchen is tables and chairs. Many of
the patrons would be asked, but not required to assist in cooking and cleaning
the kitchen and sleeping faculties during their stay. There would be second
hand shop for patrons to pay for unwanted clothing. The pay or lack thereof
would be based on income or amount of money available. The clothing would be
donated from the towns people, church or wandering parties looking to shed
belongings at no cost to the store. Next to the store there will be a job
placement/skill training center. In order for jobs to be given to people there
will be some sort of application and personnel check. Morgana
would like to have a room where the applications are collected from individuals
to have a continual detect illusion, detect magic (David) and with some help
from Father Oberon a constant check for lies. Morgana
will always perform a sense motive check on every individual applying. Morgana does not want to have any business in Selid-din to be taken advantage of by her theatre. Another
section of the building will be for the players. They will have an area to
practice and stay for a short time. This area would include an area to rehearse
in, a dressing area, and a prop area. There will also be an area for the
players to sleep in if needed. This is sleeping arrangement if needed will come
at a cost. Lastly, there will be a room with an alter to pray to and thank
Manwe.
In the soup kitchen
(lead by Dame Woldenold, NG 55 yr old peasant 3rd lvl
with a wicked spoon and +15 cook check) and a few paupers helping which can
feed 250 people a day. She is a tough old woman who once was heard to tell the
Great Druid "If you own everything, including the garbage...you take it
out!". Rumor has it the Great Druid did indeed take it out.
The Job Center,
where Drew Brimsteel ( Neutral Thief - 1st level - Briarberry Guild) keeps track of all the businesses who
need help and those looking for a job. He knows just about every face in town
an has a Local Knowledge skill +12 and Sense Motive +5. He runs the
applications if Morgana is not around and assist in
finding people work. He seldom leaves the room where the Continual Detect Magic
/ Lies / Illusions are going as it helps him a great deal in negotiations!
The second hand shop
is run by Claire Ohmsford (Peasant 3st lvl HP 12 Ch 14 Align NG) who is a nice girl who sometimes
watches the children as well during shows (runs a daycare). She has the Ghost
of her father, Jacob, watching over her and he will attack anyone who tries to
hurt her.
The
Regentess often helps run the theatre and can be found here when in town. If
not in town, the business does not do as well and the Regentess often has to
pay 500gp per week to keep the doors open. There are always 20 Footman (3rd lvl
Warriors) and a Lt (5th lvl) Shield Knight.

This is a
huge place that is off the beaten path. The Lordess
of Steel, Charis built tower tops, partially filled
steel foundation, gates, ladders, swords and bow tips. Charis
as well as providing training also lives in this block.
The school
will provides the following training: archery , 2-weapon fighting, fighting
with and w/o magic, bow fighting. This will also include jumping and tumbling
while in battle. Also, Sulla trains students with a spear 2x/year in a special
guest role. There is an archery field and a jousting field with stables for the
horses. There is a room of non-magic weapon fighting with the help of David
(room with Detect Magic permanent). With the help of the Hobbits and Bas there
is now a underground area of small tunnels with wide openings for tunnel
fighting training.
There will
be training available for 2nd level fighters and higher. Boarding will be
available for the trainees at a cost. There are also rooms available for the
trainers. There will be a kitchen available. The cost of training will be based
on the beginning level of the fighter. The cost is 500/lvl.
There is
a first aide office (+4 healing
Checks and 3 Ex Heal potions)). From time to time Charis
garners a Ring of Regeneration for "special " death training (they are actually killed).
Father Oberon sits in on all serious matches and the monthly
"testing". There are banners that are strategically placed throughout
the guild that gives thanks to Lord Darnock, the
greatest of all Steel Lords. There is also a small room with kneeling chairs
and an alter to give thanks and praise to the Solarian. In this room is a copy
of the Book of Five Rings (Holy Book of Fighting written by Loric
Vilesilencer - signed copy). This room is Hallow (5th
lvl Cleric Spell) and has a PF Evil and permanent Deaths Door. Anyone rushed to
this room the round after death will stay at Deaths Door as per the spell.

***There is
a rumor that, in the June of the Year 18 Loric Vilesilencer instructed the trainers of the School. All
trainers present received a +18 on their instruction skill, may teach ANY
warrior feat even though they do not possess it and the ability to
"Measure of the Warrior" spell at will. This is a true rumor.
***There is also a rumor that Loric refused to fight or train Charis
on the grounds of her own school. Oberon recorded his words: "This Son is
no fool, Charis of Steel. I will not fight you in
your School where the Wheel and the Web of Fate say you cannot lose!"
***All
fighters who train here receive a free Feat “Force Sensitivity”.
This is due to the influences of Kathlun in the year
20 when Kathlun spent 6 months here.
It is
amongst these traders that a mage called "Ras"
has an apartment. He is the alter ego of Starrider
and is sometimes known as his "son". Oberon Falconbridge maintains his
apartment and sometime masquerades as him to insure his cover is not blown. The
apartment has nothing of value but is "Hallow" as per 5th lvl cleric
Spell. Permanent PF Fire.
A
father/mother/daughter team of Bakers from Avalon live here and have moved
their shop from Manetherin to Beer and now here
following Ligurius (and his funding). Sara is the Protector of the Druids as
elected by the Magistrates.
The
daughter, Sara, is the reincarnation of a woman Liguarius was courting. This woman was forced via a Trell / Vecna curse to attempt to
assassinate Liguarius while he slept. Liguarius killed the assassin only to learn he had killed
his betrothed. Starrider, then the high priest
of Loric,
caused her to immediately be reborn as Sara Lee Baker. Liguarius
watched the birth. When Liguarius left Avalon for the
Celadon, the Bakers cam with him and setup a profitable in a keep near Beetu bakery (With secret funding from Liguarius)
Sara does not yet know Liguarius was her betrothed or
any of the past. To him he is the very nice man who is a friend of her parents
and who gives her nice things. She likes to bake special things for him when he
visits..She still is too young for him, but Liguarius
waits patiently. (ST 8 ,INT 11,
