[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1884214, member: 8944"] Probably not find-outable from this distance. The potential characters in this game will be your spies in the Thanesport, which means they'll be the ones who can find this stuff out. However, he tends to hang out with the dastardly types - his inner circle is *mostly* people who served under him when he led the naval expedition before he became king. There are no organizations working for Tain so much as they are working for the the Throne that Tain occupies. High-ups in the Church of the Light, the Nobles Council, the Talons, the Military, etc. all have a reason to be around Tain. However, they may not be in his true "inner circle." Nightgrove was, and he didn't really occupy an official position in the Kingdom. He has a step brother named Relin Nightgrove. His mother is dead. His father is dead. His step father was killed by you. His mother had no family (she was a servant, originally). He has cousins on his father's side. Jaine and Archon among them. Tain, though a bastard, is a noble, and is thus tied in some distant way to most of the human and half-elven houses. Probably not possible until you're there, and I don't see it as being a necessity for all types of plans. If this is going to be more cloak and dagger than it will be face and con, you need to know this. If this is going to focus on lying and not sneakery, This is not so important. Have to scout when you get there. Guess what it would be, and work from there. You might be able to ask people in Caer Albion what that palace was like, but that's as close as you could get. But not available. Probably true. Yep. Yes they do - and remember that friendships and true trust take a long time to foster. If you don't need any information out of him for a year, and you're willing to do some BAD things to get it, you can probably get into his actual circle of close friends and advisors - outside of that, you may have to be a little less direct. Yep. Exactly. No intelligence is perfect. I can answer general questions, but assume that there are no spies there, already. You're going to be the spies - how do you get in, starting at square 1 (or 0). [/QUOTE]
