Loril Southwind
Mayor / Mr. Loril Southwind
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
He is small but wiry, with dexterous fingers but a tendency to trip over himself.
Body Features
His skin is tanned, and he is starting to show his age, although he is still far from old.
Facial Features
He has a strong roman nose, with thick eyebrows and defined cheekbones. He is roughly shaven, and obviously only puts minimal care into his appearance.
Physical quirks
He is right handed, and has surprisingly long and fast strides, allowing him to easily keep up with those much taller than him.
Special abilities
After working alongside the Blackwater hunters lodge for so long, he has picked up a few tricks, and has the magic initiatiate (Sorcerer) feat.
Apparel & Accessories
He tends to wear green and brown clothes of simple but comfortable cloth, and sturdy leather boots. He does not wear much ornamentation, except his mayoral ring, bearing the Blackwater crest, and a necklace given to him by his first girlfriend, a simple silver chain with a deer pendant.
Specialized Equipment
He always carries a dagger and shortsword, and when expecting Combat also wears studded leather armour and wields a longbow.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Loril grew up as a minor noble in the Merchants District of Hemos. After working for many years as a clerk in the palace, when the crown decided to install a mayor in the village of Blackwater to keep tabs on the Hunters’ Lodge there, he quickly jumped at the seeming promotion.
While he has since realised that the move to Blackwater has effectively killed any chance of further promotion, he has worked hard to do the job to the best of his abilities, and soon found good friends and companions amongst the villagers once they realised he was only noble in the most tenuous sense.

Education
Loril learnt accounting and writing from his father, a minor noble living in the merchants district of Hemos.
Employment
After working at his father’s cobblers as a child, he scored a job in the merchants quarter guard building as a tax clerk. Working his way up the ranks, he eventually found his way into the palace as a minor clerk, before jumping at the opportunity to become mayor of Blackwater, as it was a massive promotion, although it killed any chances he had of being promoted any further.
Accomplishments & Achievements
He was in charge of overseeing the construction of the wall around Blackwater, and was the one to suggest extending it to run along to lakeside to connect to the hunters lodge, as well as co-ordinating with the lodge regarding both the connection to their building, and also the clearing of the ground for the wall.
He has also kept the village in remarkably good shape, and is very experienced in balancing the rival factions within the village.
Failures & Embarrassments
His enthusiasm for the large promotion to mayor blinded him to the difficulties and dangers of the position, and he still feels embarrassed by his youthful recklessness in accepting the position, regardless of how it turned out.
He is bad with women, and has never held a relationship with a woman for longer than a month. He once dated the woman who later became the wife of the village innkeeper, and she teases him mercilessly.
Mental Trauma
An attack by undead coming from the lake in which he almost lost his life has given him a permanent phobia of undead and still water. Despite one of the perks of mayorship being a large tub, he keeps it empty and only bathes using a sponge bath.
Intellectual Characteristics
He is a decent tactician and negotiator, however his main strength lies in logistics and mathematics. He is very clumsy and bad at spatial awareness.
Morality & Philosophy
He is a very moral person, and always puts the lives of his villagers first. He is not given to philosophy, but follows the church of Fulgor out of societal obligation.
Taboos
He hates those who abuse those weaker than them, and will always attempt to see them punished.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
He wants the best for the people of Blackwater, and to be the mayor that got the village through the war intact.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Very good at mathematics and negotiation, bad at personal conversations and balance.
Likes & Dislikes
Loves spicy food and Sethian wines, hates water and carrots.
Virtues & Personality perks
Very intelligent and loyal.
Vices & Personality flaws
Holds a grudge, cannot healthily express emotions.
Personality Quirks
Easily spooked, and often grips his shortsword to steady himself.
Hygiene
He tends to keep himself clean, however living in a rural area means that the smell of the countryside permeates all his clothes.
Social
Contacts & Relations
He is close with the innkeeper and blacksmith of Blackwater, and holds regular meetings with the priest of Fulgor and Hunter-Sherrif. He also provides information on the movements of the church and hunters to the Crown via coded documents enclosed with the crown’s taxes.
Family Ties
His mother died in childbirth, and his father died during the war. As such he lacks any living family.
Religious Views
He follows Fulgor out of societal obligation, but generally ignores the gods, as while the church of Fulgor has done a lot of good on a large scale, Blackwater never sees the effects of their actions.
Social Aptitude
Loril is nice, if slightly awkward, however his sharp mind makes him a rather good negotiator. In personal relationships however his spartan lifestyle and introversion mean that he only has a few, close, friends.
Mannerisms
He often switches quickly between passive listening and sharp and direct explanations, as he decides on solutions or questions.
Hobbies & Pets
He likes reading and mathematics, and has a substantial library.
Speech
He generally speaks awkwardly, pausing frequently, however he will sometimes switch to a very direct and intense method of speech if he has something important to say.
Wealth & Financial state
He lives a comfortable lifestyle, and has a fair amount of money saved away in case of emergencies. He often loans money to the villagers of Blackwater if they fall on hard times in order to provide them with a safety net.
