PREVIOUS NPC INBOX FOR ARC I: SA-HARETH & STAIRS OF SIGHS

MACALUSO
Earnest and moderate nephew of Bonaccorso, seeking to succeed his grandfather. A pursuer of astronomy, accountancy, diplomacy and elemental magic, with a long history of supporting the witches of Bessis. Champions firmer ties with foreign citadels to improve Taravast's access to armies and resources. Looking to choose a bride.
VANNOZZA
Beautiful and fierce niece of Bonaccorso, contending to become the next Ilia Doxe. Mind of a scientist and a lady of the hunt. A practitioner and frequent visitor of the necromantic and healing sectors. Has entertained and turned away more lovers than the heroine of a particularly sappy romance novel. Often indisposed.
RIGARDA
Lively, charismatic and gossip-prone lady of the highest echelons, received at every gathering. Can slaughter half a dozen reputations with the right twitch of her brows before breakfast. An associate of the Merchant's and old friend of the current Ilia Doxe of Taravast, Bonaccorso. Indifferent in the game of succession. Loathes crumpets and witches.
THE LAVISH LOCALS
From the witches of Bessis or Attaryl to academicians, politicians, nobles, servant folk, artists or protestors — if you’ve got a question, someone can surely supply an answer.
THE MERCHANT
The patron saint of etiquette and the eastbound getaway expedition. Seems to largely trade information alongside wares. Appreciates spices, strategy and collaboration. Has an eerie and overly cautious manner. Committed. Defends the benefit of the many, to the detriment of the few.
KARSA
Sorceress, young (?). Employed by the Merchant and deferential to him. Talented but fiery and frequently impatient, intolerant of fools. She will get today's job done yesterday. Struggles to sympathise with men, objections and those who cannot absorb information quickly. Enchanted the group's translation devices. Only available until 28/12.
ASGEIRR
The ghost of a scholar monk. Haunts the tattered execution cloak that the party stole from the La Rea bank in Sa-Hareth. Once a champion of equality and freedom, he faced ire for converting his followers against the regionally profitable trade of slavery. Soft-spoken but wise and just, slow to regain his strength. Will speak to those who visit his cloak in brief interludes. Favours necromancers.


SA-HARETH

"HALTHAM" | ANURR
The undead warlord Anurr, previously posing as gentle-mannered giant Haltham. An embodiment of Sa-Hareth's cold storms and wind, who regained his territory from contender Unhalad with the inadvertent help of the party in Arc I. Frostily rational and amenable to some negotiation.

You do what you want. I am not from Ellethia. I do not care.

I am from Sa-Hareth. Do you know what we do in Sa-Hareth? We salt things. Like people.

[ Great day to not be a person!

And certainly, she does seem full of salt. ]


I'll consider you well stocked on the salt front. Nevertheless, I only meant to honour my end of the bargain. Doubt me if you must, but I did not come to you for your help. With Macaluso's household broken up I went looking for information elsewhere, and I meant only to offer what I had learned. I'm staying close to the rebels to learn what I can, if you require information you know where to find me.

...be careful.

I do not have money to bury you. You are big. Takes a big hole.

[ Tell him he's big again. ]

I've faced worse odds.

[personal profile] aprescoup 2021-11-28 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You all say that. What are these odds? Who is taking these bets? Do they ever win? Do you only play fools? Do you feel bad? For winning their coin?
blackscales: Commission, Do Not Take! (13)

[personal profile] blackscales 2021-11-28 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I never feel bad for winning.

[ He loves to win. Winning is the best. Losing is terrible. ]

[personal profile] aprescoup 2021-11-28 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You are big, you are ugly, you are terrible.

You will stay unmarried.

[ She's not wrong.

Somewhere in Azeroth, Anduin Wrynn is agreeing with her. ]


Perhaps, but I will remain alive and free.

[ Biggest priority. ]

I like you.

When your little war breaks out, I will use you first as a shield.

[ Rest of comment: suspect. But she did say she liked him! Wrathion Will Remember That. ]

I'll be sure not to disappoint.
