Arbric Hold


Arbric Hold is located beside an ample lake and river to easier facilitate the transportation of lumber to sea from the nearby Woodcraft Hall. Its strategic location also makes this hold a center for Southern trade and merchantry. Tinkers often stop here to stock up on supplies or meet to form travelling caravans.

A relatively young hold, Arbric was built in the last several turns by its Lord Kino, who wished to relocate his extensive family here from the North in order to be closer to Niyenah. It has since attracted many families, looking for opportunities to start out on their own.

Lord Kino - (Non-Adoptable NPC) - Lord Kino is a widower who is nearing his sixties, with a large family that helps him out in the day to day running of his Hold. He is a tall, slender man with black hair and brown eyes, and has an understanding demeanor towards problems of all types which helps him in dealing with his holders. His wife Josarinh died a year after bearing their only child, Niyenah, and Lord Kino has never chosen to remarry. Since becoming Lord Holder, he has run into a good number of women vying for his attention, all hoping to become Lady of Arbric Hold.

Lady Gracia - (Non-Adoptable NPC) - Lady Gracia (pronounced Gray-sha) is a woman who is at home in any situation, no matter how chaotic it may seem at first. She is actually Lady surrogate, filling in the position for her widowed brother who never remarried. Only a few Turns her brother's junior, but with no children of her own, Lady Gracia has helped raise the army of nieces and nephews that Kino's brothers and sisters produced. She is an excellent organizer and good at judging a person's abilities and skills to apply them to whatever task comes to hand without making them feel abused.

Steward Inran - (Non-Adoptable NPC) - Brother to Lord Kino, Inran has a healthy brood of children of his own, and is skillful in assigning them jobs around the Hold, as well as assigning his brother's children jobs as well. He is the glue that holds the Hold together, acting as the go-between for Lord Kino with his holders, and often solving problems before Kino is even aware that there is one, which Kino never minds as he gets reports of them. He keeps the day to day minutiae out of Kino's hands so that he can deal with the truly pressing problems that require the Lord Holder's personal regard.
