They deal mostly with clothing, silks, craft-goods made in and around Hardby that is shipped mostly north into Greyhawk. Rumor has it they are looking to open trade routes into the Duchy or Urnst and then on into Nyrond. Trade routes this way are dangerous, especially as the Alliance wishes to bypass Greyhawk and the Nyr Dyv (the lake of Unknown Depth). Bernardo is an old and famous Paladin who has traveled throughout the lands of the Flan, and some say beyond. He fought in the Greyhawk Wars on the side of Furyondy and was greatly wounded during the Great Northern Crusade into the Shield Lands. He went into a semi-retirement and settled into a small manor north of Hardby. The Hawkins are another merchant prince family, that makes most of their money in weapons and armor transportation. Much of their wears come from the dwarven holds of the Abbor-Alz, and then sent north, mostly to Furyondy. There are rumors of course that they sell to ships flying the Red and the Yellow sails (Pirates allied with the Scarlet Brotherhood; and Slavers, but most of those were destroyed 15 years ago), but then there are often rumors about successful families.As introductions are being made within your little group, another carriage arrives. The lone rider who steps out is rather rough looking, yet matronly woman of middle years. She is build very solidly and smiles easily. She is introduced as Brilta Katrina (“Just call me Bri sweetie” she says to the Dame). As her introductions are being made small thin man who is wearing long grey robes floats down from the sky and lands in the courtyard. Some of the servants are spooked by this, to which the little man seems to be smiling about. After a second he seems to recover as it were and his eyes dart about the courtyard. He bows to Dame and introduces himself “Greetings most beloved Dame, I am Randallson. Some would call ‘the Neat’ hehe. I am your humble servant and thank you for the invitation to this years’ festival.”  Sir Bernardo smiles and kisses lady ‘de Turiss’s hand. He also lightly claps Philo on the shoulder and says “Come let has have something sweet to drink and mayhaps some bread and cheese. It has been a long ride for me and my bones are not as young as once they were.” leading the group inside. As the group moves into the castle a pale man dressed in simple monk’s robes approaches your group and bows to all. Bernardo seems to recognize him as a huge smile splits his face and he roughly embraces the man saying “Ko, you old dog, it is good to see that you still live” to which the monk replies “And it is good to see that the light of Pelor still shines in your eyes old friend” While the man looks no older then 30, something about his eyes or the way he moves tells most of the party that he is at least as old as Sir Bernardo is and that he is human. Bernardo then introduces you all to the monk saying “This is an old friend, a very old friend, Ko, brother of the Monostich Order of the Yellow Rose. Oh what a good day this is indeed…”</blockquote>
