The People of Berador

This is a brief listing of some people living in and around Berador. All residents of the area (including the PCs) know or know of these people:

Doogan Arwit

male human apprentice smith
Doogan Arwit works at the forge in the Fireaxe compound and has been there for four years. While the dwarves of the Fireaxe clan are friendly enough to the people of Berador, they don't often take non-dwarves as apprentices. Doogan has been a close friend of Bracken Fireaxe for years and won a job at the smithy when he bested Bracken in a wrestling match at the fall harvest festival. Doogan drinks only dark beer, has grown a long, thick beard and swears "by Moradin" often and loudly.

Gemini Starseer

male elf tailor
Gemini Starseer and his wife Elia have lived in the village of Berador for at least thirty years. They have two young children who were born in Berador. Many people of Berador are self-sufficient as to food, shelter and clothing, but there are enough with a bit of wealth to spare to call on Gemini for his services. He makes only the finest of garments. Workman's clothes and traveling cloaks are beneath his interest. At feast days and weddings many of the well-to-do of Berador wear Gemini's work with pride.

Kerry Wakefield

male human farmhand
Kerry Wakefield was born and raised in Berador. His parents moved out of their ancestral home to start a new farmstead when Kerry was eleven. Only a few weeks later goblins from the Greywood assaulted the farm in the dead of night. Kerry's parents and four older siblings died in the attack. Somehow Kerry survived. Kerry lived the next few years with his grandparents and uncles and aunts at the old Wakefield home. He left at age sixteen and now only returns to visit. He hires himself out to farmers in need of an extra hand, and lives semi-permanently in one of the rooms for rent at the Maple House. Kerry has an overwhelming hatred for all goblinkind, and at the first sign of any kind of trouble he blames goblins. When not working out at the Branloth, Vesash or some other well-to-do farm, Kerry spends his time drinking and complaining about anything that comes to mind at the Maple House.

Magaret "Crazy Maggie" Chesam

female human apothecary
Crazy Maggie has lived alone in her tiny cottage on the edge of the Greywood for several years since her husband, Corky Chesam, a woodsman and hunter, passed away. The people of Berador acknowledge and respect her ancient wisdom, but most question her sanity. Even while Corky lived the villagers regarded them as strange for living away from the protection of friends and family. Now Maggie lives alone with only her two massive wolfhounds for companions. Maggie spends her days tending to her small, well-ordered garden and pottering about in the edge of the Greywood.

Warus Mulski

male human tanner
Warus Mulski "retired" to Berador about seven years ago. He served in the army of the great city-state of Roth for over twenty years. When King Marcus Winland IV inherited the throne he forced many of the more seasoned soldiers out of the army. Rather than stew in the city he loved on the meager pension offered by the king, Warus decided to make a new life for himself. He came to Berador with a Traveling Carnival and decided not to leave. The villagers welcomed him as they had need of his skill with hides and leather. He has since married a local widow, Janis of the Greyski family, and settled down quite comforably in his shop in town. Warus knows a great deal about the city of Roth and never tires of telling tales, though some of his information is now a bit dated. He has never returned to Roth and vows never to do so.
