PERSONAE · THE RAMPART FOOTHILLS

Orvan Seld

aka the Spanstone hireling, the cold captain

House Vandahl's hireling commander of the Spanstone toll-garrison — warm, apologetic, and entirely aware that the Rampart Foothills do not care about his employer's banners.

Orvan was posted here six months ago and has written three letters requesting resupply, each more careful than the last. He knows his four-man garrison is a symbol and the symbol is wearing thin. He is not a bad man and not a stupid one; he is a hired hand watching a noble's prestige claim dissolve in the cold. He will take a cut, share information, and tell you exactly how little authority he has, if you ask.
