Character Classes in Keoland

Barbarians: Barbarians by their nature are not native to
Keoland. Except for the occasional throwback, even the
most isolated Flan tribesmen are above this level. Barbarians
in Keoland are usually Half-orcs from the Pomarj or Sterich
or Olman from the Hold of the Sea Princes.

Bards: Bards are accepted within Keoland, a major
organization known as the Heralds being almost exclusively
composed of Bards. They are expected to behave to certain
standards however and if they don’t, they will soon be
regarded with suspicion because of their magical abilities.

Clerics: Clerics are an accepted part of Keoish society. The
only difficulty is for foreign clerics who may not understand
the lack of a state religion in Keoland or understand that they
are not going to receive special treatment by the local
authorities. Likewise, the Keoish are not know for religious
fanaticism and anyone attempting to stir up a crusade will be
sorely disappointed not to mention arrested for disturbing
the peace.

Druids: Druids are also full members of Keoish society
facing the same restrictions as Clerics do. The Arch Druid
of the Sheldomar Valley dwells in the Dreadwood and a
number of druidic circles do exist in the kingdom.

Fighters: Fighters appear in all types and varieties in
Keoland, from local guards to foreign mercenaries to
refugees. Any and all types of fighters may be found in
Keoland.

Monks: Monks are rare in Keoland and usually mistrusted
being associated with the Scarlet Brotherhood. There are
only three well established monasteries in Keoland- one
located in the Good Hills of Flen, one in the Barony of Mill
Creek and one in the Earldom of Gand. Monks in Keoland
will be regarded as suspicious outsiders until they prove
themselves to the local people.

Paladins: Paladins are rare in Keoland, as most do not have
the total dedication required for such a calling. A few do,
and some foreign paladins also find their way here. They are
regarded warily by most people who do not trust that much
fanaticism coupled with that much personal power roaming
about.

Rangers: Rangers are very highly regarded in Keoland, the
King himself being one. Most come from the Dreadwood
and the Dreadwood Rangers are a strong and powerful
organization.

Rogues: Rogues are found throughout Keoland as in most
places. Provided they don’t break any laws they face no
particular difficulties based on their armor or weapon
preferences. Indeed, they will most likely be taken to be
fighters of some type.

Sorcerers and Wizards: Sorcerers and Wizards are still
rare in Keoland and most are still members of the nobility.
Commoner Arcane spell-casters still face many prejudices,
especially in more isolated areas of the Kingdom. Suspicious
activities will quickly lead to accusations and even outright
hostility. There are however no laws against simply being an
arcane spell-user and members of those classes are not
restricted becuse of that.

Sandpoint

Sandpoint has faced many hardships but also great prosperity in its 42-year history. A small town on the Javan River, fishermen, farmers, and other simple folk make the community one of the rather peaceful havens in Keoland.



The Town
A simple, relatively peaceful town with all the color and common oddities one expects from a tightly-knit community, Sandpoint sits at a point on the Javan River, two days walking distance from the walled city of Cryllor. Wood buildings and cluttered docks line the river banks, while farms and the manors of wealthy citizens dot the surrounding countryside.

During the day, fishing, farming, lumbering, glassmaking, and shipbuilding occupy most of the townsfolk, who commonly retire to their homes by way of Sandpoint’s many taverns. A playhouse and would-be museum make unusual attractions in such a small community, but Sandpoint’s true landmark is the Old Light, a lighthouse of ancient origins that lies in ruins.

Although close to the western border, Sandpoint is a relatively peaceful town, devoid of many of the dangers of a true frontier town and intrigues of a sprawling city. The town has nonetheless had its share of troubles. The fading scars of a recent terror still linger, a time most folk refer to as the Late Unpleasantness.

Just over five years ago, a madman stalked the streets of Sandpoint, killing dozens. Known as Chopper, the killer’s monthlong terror ended bloodily when an eccentric local artisan was revealed as the murderer and killed during his attempted capture.

Adding to the pain, less than a month later the local chapel burned to the ground in a conflagration that nearly consumed the town’s northern half and left the local priest dead.

Emerging from the shadow of these events, though, Sandpoint has healed and rebuilt, with many townsfolk viewing the coming dedication of a new church as a symbolic end to the healing and return to normality.

The Law
Kendra Deverin has served as Sandpoint’s mayor for the past eight years. Lawmaker, judge, and general peacemaker, Deverin has proven to be both an adept diplomat and stern hand when need be—skills likely honed during her youth in Cryllor and travelling in the region. With a personal—some say sisterly— style of governing, Kendra holds the abiding respect of most of Sandpoint’s people, charming them with her fiery temper and tenacity for justice (as demonstrated during the Late Unpleasantness). A council of several of the town’s most respected and affluent landowners aids Deverin’s work. While several councilmembers have their own agendas and visions for the town, the mayor’s no-nonsense attitude assures that council decisions ever work toward the common good.



Meting out the town’s good justice, sheriff and councilmember Belor Hemlock keeps watch over Sandpoint’s people. Held as something of a local hero, Hemlock is lauded with being the man who brought the serial killer, Chopper, to justice. Although rarely faced with misconduct more severe than vandalism and public drunkenness, the sheriff is both a keen wit and a skilled swordsman, and openly proves both when the rare crime requires it. While the town’s chief enforcer, Hemlock knows the difference between the word of the law and its intent, and often gives those under his protection the benefit of the doubt.



Their sheriff’s work aside, Sandpoint’s people realize they must often fend for and defend themselves, especially on the outlying farms. In the rarest and most extreme cases— and even then thoroughly discouraged—mob justice is sometimes all that satisfies the outraged people.

The Land
A rolling, lightly forested land of limestone escarpments, rugged tors, and verdant moors surrounds Sandpoint. Most who populate the area live off the land and the river. Numerous farms spread over the surrounding countryside, while the homes of fisherfolk dot the river bank's cliffs. Viable farming land is a coveted commodity around Sandpoint, as rocky hills and expanses of limestone pavements— uneven areas of flat rock—break the lush landscape.

Wolves, snakes, and oversized weasels primarily stalk the deer and hares common to the area, along with the occasional stray farm animal, making attacks on humanoids rare. When the fogs common to Sandpoint’s banks rise, though, every dark shape in the mist becomes a monster, giving rise to numerous local legends of hungry wild men, winged terrors, and reeking things from the sea.



The People
A welcoming, albeit prejudiced community of colorful locals call Sandpoint home. Presented here are but a few of the town’s most noteworthy residents:

Kendra Deverin: Town mayor.

Cyrdak Drokkus: Grandiloquent actor, gadabout, and proprietor of the Sandpoint Theater.

Belor Hemlock: The gruff but protective town sheriff.

Aymira Kahraldin: Proprietor of the Rusty Dragon inn, rebellious daughter to nobleman Lubeyd Kahraldin.

Lubeyd Kahraldin: Stoic noble, owner of the town Glassworks.

Jargie Quinn: One-legged owner of the Hagfish tavern.

Titus Scarnetti: Tradition-minded noble who controls Sandpoint’s bustling lumber trade.

Ethram Cortesa: Oldest of the town nobles.

Ven Vinder: Owner of Sandpoint’s best-stocked general store.

Abstalar Zantus: Sandpoint’s mild-mannered local priest.
