| **Background:** Nominally, my family has ruled Mosta for untold generations. Indeed it was my noble ancestors who founded the city. I am the latest in this lineage. We are not just patrons of the arts, but artists ourselves, and I have studied under all the great masters my family’s not inconsiderable wealth could afford. Unfortunately, the real power in Mosta are the priests of Mosta, and I am but figurehead. If the priests were to turn the citizenry against me, I would need to flee the city with naught but what I could carry. I long to reclaim my natural birthright. | **Background:** Nominally, my family has ruled Mosta for untold generations. Indeed it was my noble ancestors who founded the city.

| **Public Bio:** Nerina, youngest child of House Piccarillo, is best known for her steady stream of dedicated, but decidedly unremarkable, magical research. Well, that and her frequent shouting matches with other scholars over some textual nuance or other - the language she uses! She's recently relocated to the Heights, saying she'll 'turn that pig's ear of a university into a halfway decent institution if it's the last thing I bloody well do.' | **Public Bio:** Nerina, youngest child of House Piccarillo, is best known for her steady stream of dedicated, but decidedly unremarkable, magical research.

| + | * Troublesome Territory - For reasons nobody quite understands, Zolfo's Pass is an area frustratingly prone to disaster and accident of all kinds. Valente firmly believes it is due to the population's lack of Understanding. | ||
| + | * Incompetent Retainer - Rett Lillo sometimes has... interesting ideas about his orders. | ||
| + | * Medically Dependent - Wounded when a soldier, receives a steady dose of painkillers. | ||

| + | |||
| + | **Background:** Valente is one of the lesser-known scions of House Toqare. He mostly keeps to himself, and has enough older siblings that inheritance has never been a prospect. Free of a lot of the attention and responsibility bestowed on his older siblings, Valente found himself somewhat directionless. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Court politics failed to grab his attention, and he was never a great scholar. After attending universty, he spent a brief period in the army. He found it incredibly fulfilling, but was forced to leave after taking a severe wound to the gut - one that still gives him trouble. Seeing few options remaining, Valente tried the priesthood, and it was there that he finally found his place. He quickly rose to become Priest of the god of Zolfo Pass, a small settlement split between two sides of an impressively carved bridge. Both the village and the bridge can be dated to before Hashat rose. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Valente is gruffly enthusiastic, vehement, and dogmatic. He much prefers condemning bad practice over encouraging good, and is always willing to cast a discriminate eye on his followers - when he isn't passing his time gambling, that is. The one problem he's found with his position is that opportunities to condemn heresy are in surprisingly short supply. To this end, he employs Rett Lillo, a hired actor and former con-artist to "test the peoples' spiritual strength," and Sofia Silvestri to provide a listening ear if they happen to succumb to temptation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Public Bio:** "Negligance! This town is full of it - you can feel it in the air! I'd wager there's no god in Esharia as neglected as Zolfo Pass. You do not Understand, and worse: you do not even try to Understand. Laziness and distraction has snaked its way into the population, it writhes around your very feet, it chokes your breath! Do you even see where you are? Do you lift your head from your own toil, your petty concerns, your frivolities? You see nothing but the noses in front of your faces, nothing of the place you inhabit. Negligance!" | ||
