Things about Veridia/the wider kingdom of Abona that I wrote down so it's not just floating around in my head.

Lawspeakers:

This borrows from Germanic and Scandinavian tradition. A lawspeaker is someone who can recite the country's legal code from memory; it is an oral practice. They are obliged by oath to render judgement or advice when requested or if they witness a situation they feel calls for it.

Lawspeakers do not have jurisdictions and it's not uncommon for some of them to travel around Abona. People may request a non-local lawspeaker to come hear a dispute if they believe a local one would be prejudiced. If someone thinks a lawspeaker is corrupt or behaving poorly in their duties, they may take the matter to Abona's king and his assembly.

Lawspeakers are taught by other lawspeakers in a sort of apprenticeship situation. It's a bit unusual that a small settlement like Veridia has more than one.

I think 'help[ing] Maccus seize his seat' may actually have consisted mainly of talking him out of dumbass plans. Possibly solely consisted of that. He has strong act first, think later vibes. Eisu hated this man, btw.

Bits and bobs about supernatural inheritance in Veridia that I mostly wrote for my own reference, but I know I like reading about how people handle these sort of things in their game, so I’m just gonna slap it up here:

more babies.

Norweni and Fial's father was sick during the time Norweni was away from home so Dinn used to come help on the farm. :) And every time Norweni returned home she asked if he was a new farmhand and Fial had to resist the urge to slap her sister upside the head. :) :) Look, Fial, your sister might not remember your boyfriend's name but she does bring you home jewelry! Isn't that more important?

Enna: Ms Norweni, there’s a group of people outside asking for you. They came down the hill road.

Norweni: A group? Who and how many?

Enna: I don’t recognize any of ‘em. Um, a half-dozen maybe?

Norweni: Hm. Go find Sun and keep her close to you, please.

I'm either making a custom PT set for Veridia or a secret fae society with entire culture and plot line, not sure which yet. It may or may not be the latter.

A cheerful bunch!

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.
