PERSONAE · THE VALE

Draneth the Thin

aka Draneth Ash-Coat

A disgraced House Vandahl retainer turned Finders washout, keeping the Quiet Door front in Highbridge — a way in for new recruits, and a liability the Ledger half-regrets.

He wore the Vandahl banner for a decade and dropped it one bad night at a silver checkpoint. Now he runs cargo for the Finders and keeps their unmarked front off the Highbridge guild square, the Quiet Door, where everything bound east is weighed first. He is the easy way in for anyone the Ledger has not yet decided to trust — and one foot is already in the Free Finders' splinter, which is exactly the kind of thinning that got him here. He tells himself it is temporary.

grant_saySince you're useful — the Silt Hands' cipher. Their little code for what's worth lifting. Don't let it be found on you, and don't ask where I got it.

greetingQuiet, now — this door has no sign and we'd like to keep it that way. Draneth. I run cargo for the Finders, when they let me, and I move what other folk would rather not be seen moving. You looking to make yourself useful, or just looking?

First job's almost legal: carry a quiet word and a small parcel west to Ahnassi in Valenfeld, and bring back what she gives you — no questions, no peeking. It's a test of whether you can keep the Quiet, which is the only thing the Finders actually sell. Owe nothing, know everything.","business":"Still holding that parcel for Ahnassi in Valenfeld? Quiet word, quiet hands. Get it done and we'll find you real work."}
