 **Reeve:** Alison Farrow is a pretty, charming young woman who's already lived a life filled with romance and adventure. In her teens, she was kidnapped by an evil cult known as the Dark. While there, she was the only one brave enough to confront them about their behavior, leading to the group quietly disbanding and letting her go. She then spent several years as a sailor, where her ship was overtaken by pirates and she joined their crew, falling in love with their captain. A few years thereafter she left the pirate life and washed up in Thane's Landing with a pile of money, and once that ran out she lucked into the position of reeve. **Reeve:** Alison Farrow is a pretty, charming young woman who's already lived a life filled with romance and adventure.

 The **Black Hag** is something of a dive bar, run by the dwarf Marilla (plain, strong-minded, and even-tempered) and her brother Matthew (shy, loyal, and thoughtful). It's often a loud and raucous place, but Marilla keeps things from getting too out of hand. it's popular with day laborers, caravan guards, and those who sometimes find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
