Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silver Moon" data-source="post: 499358" data-attributes="member: 8530">Cantage LordholdingCantage Lordholding:Cantage is a large Lordholding, located from the northwest corner to central Phlooredah.  Much of its territory is comprised of light forests and farmlands.   It is a Monarchy, as the 3 western lordholdings have been ruled by a single family for over 300 years.   It and the Kaloon Lordholding are currently ruled by King Matthan.   Attendees will come from three different cities from this populous Lordholding.B2.   Autzvourg.   This ancient landlocked city is Phlooredah’s most populated community, with nearly 60,000 people.  It is situated at a major crossroad.    Four aristocrats from this city will attend the auction.    The Silver Moon Adventurers met these individuals at a formal affair 7 years earlier, as well as at Queen Jennifer’s coronation 6 months ago.   These NPC’s are the following:Lord Geoffrey Burgoyne, human fighterHigh Priestess Melanie, lawful good human cleric of UkkoHigh Priest Darren, chaotic good human cleric of Huan-Ti & Hotoru (the Twin Gods)Sir Carter Rosewood, lawful good human paladin**NOTE:  Suggestions welcome regarding any or all of the above characters.B3   Pirna.   This landlocked city is the Lordholding’s Capital and home to King Matthan, Queen Jennifer’s estranged husband.    He is as follows:King Matthan (class and level undetermined) was the 5th Ruler of Phlooredah, serving a 15-year term that ended 6-months ago when his estranged wife was elected the new ruler.   He is a short dark haired man with an inferiority complex that he tries to hide (not unlike the Lord Farquaad character from the film “Shrek”).  He only became King in the first place due to political shenanigans of his older brother, the late Lord Toronoas, who planned to rule through his ‘puppet’ brother. As the husband of the current Queen, he is allowed to retain the title King, although his actual authority is now limited to only the two Lordholdings that he directly rules.   He previously was surrounded by a group of powerful advisors, but with the change of power they have abandoned  him and returned to the Cantage city of Dunn.    He and Jennifer currently maintain a cordial but distant relationship, which they struggle to maintain for the sake of their 6-year old son, Prince Matthew.  He commands a large fleet of ships, so was named as an Admiral in the Queen’s Navy, one of the five top military leaders of continent.   He will travel to the auction accompanied by a pair of aristocrats from the same city.   The Silver Moon Adventurers met these individuals at a formal affair 7 years earlier, as well as at Queen Jennifer’s coronation 6 months ago.   The only thing determined thus far about these NPC’s is their names, Lord Thomas and Lady Antoinette Khorram. **NOTE: Suggestions welcome regarding the above couple, and why they are with Matthan. A3  Dunn.  This coastal city is a theocracy that is home to the Dunn-Phlooredian Church, which presents itself as a Lawful Good/Lawful Neutral religion.  In reality, the church is a “front” for the Lawful Evil Church of Loviatar, the Mistress of Pain.   The Church’s behind-the-scene High Priestess leader, the man-hating Lady Pamela, had worked her way into a position as King Matthan’s Chief Advisor.  She is not pleased with the recent change in power, feeling that Queen Jennifer has betrayed her.  Pamela will not hesitate to remind Jennifer that she is owed a debt of gratitude for having resurrected her from death a decade earlier.  The Church has its own three-woman assassination team, who ARE NOT members of the ILA (but have found out about the current situation from their associate, Lady Annette of Kaloon).   They are as follows:Lady Darlene, assassination team leader, 10th level lawful evil human monk.    Darlene is Pamela’s most trusted advisor.  She has fought the Silver Moon on several occasions, and they are aware of her association with Pamela and Loviatar.    The other two NPC members of this team have yet to be determined, but at least one will probably be an assassin, and the other probably a cleric of Loviatar.   These individuals will be totally unknown to Kindor, the Silver Moon Adventurers, and other attendees of the auction.  While they consider Lady Annette an ally, they will not participate in her scheme to assassinate the Queen, as Pamela thinks that she still may have some use for the Queen. **NOTE: Any suggestions regarding the other members of this team, and motivations of the group would be welcome.</blockquote>
