Veridia is a historical neighborhood vaguely inspired by Iron Age Britain, with quite a lot of post-Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Generic Medieval Fantasy influences thrown in. Mostly Generic Medieval Fantasy. Magic and spirits are a part of every day life, strange things walk in the woods, and sheep are the backbone of the economy.
Come meet Veridia's playable residents.
Norweni is Veridia’s headwoman. The eldest of her father’s two daughters, she grew up with a spear in hand and proved her worth in battle before seeing twenty summers. After traveling in her youth, she rejected every suitor that sought her hand and returned to Veridia to claim her father’s homestead. She oversees Veridia’s protection and disputes, and trains the local warriors. Norweni has defended homesteads, ended arguments between nearby villages, and chased down lost lambs.
(Fortune, 3/8/8/2/)
Fial, Norweni’s younger sister, and her husband Dinn are often left to oversee Seax Farm by themselves, which suits them just fine. Sometimes, though, they wish they had a bigger family to fill their home, but they know they’re lucky to have what they already do.
(Family, 7/3/3/6/7 | Knowledge, 6/8/4/4/7)
After a childhood spent idolizing his aunt, Kinet has unceremoniously been dubbed her protege. It’s pretty cool, but it’s also, like, a lot of pressure! Sometimes a guy just wants to watch the stars with some hot cider and a cute girl.
(Romance, 7/3/8/4/7)
Faun is Norweni’s hunting dog. He spends a lot of time making the rounds with her.
In his youth, Eisu spent time roaming the continent, where he met his husband, Liu Xiang, another traveler far from home. Adventures ensued, during one of which an orphaned baby ended up in their care. With a child to raise now, Xiang and Eisu decided it would be best for their adopted son, Drustan, if they returned to Eisu’s village and settled down for a while.
(Family, 1/8/4/6/6 | Knowledge, 6/5/7/5/7 | Grow Up, 9/2/6/3/5)
It was nice of Elmet’s brother, Eisu, to invite him back to live with them, but sharing a room with his little nephew is kinda cramping his style. So is the thing where Elmet now turns into a werewolf when the moon rises. Bummer!
(Pleasure, 2/8/3/6/7)
Hill Farm is also home to Mouse the cat, who is perfect in every way.
You think you’ve seen Diseta Marsh somewhere before? No, you must be mistaken—there’s definitely only one Diseta around here! (And that’s probably for the best.) Between the smithy, the town guard, and acting as lawspeaker when Norweni is unavailable, she’s got her finger in a lot of pies. In her limited spare time, Diseta enjoys music and telling her cat, Lu, she’s the most beautiful cat in the world, yes she is!
(Fortune, 4/7/5/5/4)
Wulfric was widowed when his wife died giving birth to their twins, Glamaer and Gytha. Quiet and reclusive, he does his best to raise his son and daughter in their home on the bay. He’s trying to teach the kids how to fish and harvest precious salt like he does, but some days keeping track of two six-year-olds takes more hours and twice as many hands than he has.

Shep tends her garden alone for now and isn’t in a hurry to change that. She has an eye to learning to make curmi—it would earn her so much money. As long as those Cerunnos’ damned sheep across the road don’t break out and chow down on her wheat seedlings again…
(Popularity, 2/8/4/6/7)
(yes, she is a fortune secondary lol)
Helenet was an apprentice midwife somewhere far from Veridia, but after some family troubles and after the father of her son refused to acknowledge him and publicly (and loudly) rebuffed her, Helenet cursed the man, left, and sought out a new place for herself and her son. She and Angus are settling in nicely.

Arturo isn’t a fae. The fae are arseholes. His ears just do that. The green? A witch did it. No, really. The, um, the antlers? Uh—oh, wow, look over there!
