This small temple upholds local feast days and the like of the religion. The temple has only one priest, and four assistants. The priest, Gathar of Valum, is the town's hangman. He is a religiously sensitive man, and promises all those he hangs, he will only send their souls to Agrik, if they convert. He then asks them how quickly they wish to die.
The assistants are young boys from the Order of the Scarlet Veil. They serve with Gathar from the ages of 12 to 16. At 16 they join the legion, or are accepted into a guild. This year Gathar has six young boys ages 13, and 14. (Jaradin M:13, Nibolias M:13, Catius M:14, Lecia M:13, Stannupian M:14, Plaerius M:13) There is a small herb garden behind the temple. Gareth trades the herbs with the locals in return for fresh produce.

A local inn of reasonable quality. Their prices are slightly higher than average. Metha and her husband Gallius, treat most of their patrons to their singing. The inn has 8 beds for sale and has become the preferred drinking establishment of the Officers from Fobin. Soldiers may come to dine but they are rarely welcomed by the patrons in the bar. Metha and Gallius work at the Inn along with two slaves (Quetius M;22, Palagus M:28) and their daughter Sylitia (F:14). Refer to the Green Gate Inn for more information.

The store holds most anything a traveller will need; both used and new. The store is filled from floor to ceiling in shelves and racks. Sharley, and his son, Max, are the only two who can find anything. His prices are only slightly higher than average. Sharley is an old man and claims to remember when the town was founded. He will personally assure the quality of the item. "If ya bring it back, I'll buy it back. I'll remember ya." Sharley's memory is not that good, so his business is doing quite well. Sharley and his family live above the Inn. His wife Ruvoria is well liked about town. Her four children (Galla (F:16), Aulens(M:16), Somber(F:18) and Max(M:24)) are all engaged to be married to other local children. Max , as the oldest will inherit his father's business.

He is said to sell anything and everything as a cure for whatever you have. He preys gladly on the few hypochondriacs in town. Corrin's prices are higher than they should be, but for each herb sold to a traveller, he packs it in a waterproof pouch. Corrin is currently courting Dorrita, Rugenaeus of Cosele's oldest daughter. She's 16 and comes with a small dowry. Corrin is 21 and is considered an eligible and handsome bachelor. Rugenaeus has allowed the courtship to commence, but has not yet given his answer -- he's waiting to hear Dorrita's opinion of the boy.

She is a kindly woman of middle age. Her husband, Crolan Mariam, is a Milities Primus at Fobin. Her shop sells variety of goods. Her daughter, Susan (F:14), is of marrying age and she's apt to try and convince any male adventurer that her daughter is a worthy prize (comeliness: 15). Her prices are fair, but she has less to sell than Sharley. "At least my rope won't break when you'll need it!" she'll declare. Her other children are: Dadda (M:10), Cogel (F:8), Cerp (F:8), Bafuca (F:7), Cusel (F:6), Cyddi (M:4), Corra (F:4).

He has three apprentices. [Jarlee (M:21), Alla (M:2), Caebbel (M:28)] They will administer various levels of first aid, but they are never above calling in a peonian priest or their master as needed. Edalin is a fyvrian mage of some minor ability; although he does have the regenerate spell at ML 118. Brisk, but friendly, his place is always homey yet chaotic. A good cook and relatively young (27) he works with the physician at Caer Fobin 3 months out of the year as part of his legion service. Several ladies in town consider him a worthy catch. He is gaining a reputation as being quite a lady's man, although many of the ladies with whom he's dealt claim he is a perfect gentleman.

The two priests here are married to each other. Sheil and Jarrel will welcome anyone who comes into the temple personally. If you're new in town, you're apt to get an invitation to dinner. They won't try and convert any adventurers, but they are always interested in what's going on in the rest of the world. Jarrel is an enthusiastic amateur when it comes to baking. The back of the chapel was recently converted into a bakers oven. Jarrel provides the legion with a cartload of bread once every ten-day. Jarrel pays the local miller 10d for the right to bake bread and sell it as part of the taxes he owes the legion. Leftovers are suppose to be sold to the townsfolk, but more often than not Jarrel tends to give it away. Sheil travels a lot through the surrounding towns and fortifications, ministering as needed. She is considered a master matchmaker.

This is the only place in town to store your horses. The owner, Gallen of Tarsal, is quite proud of how well his four sons do the work. He lost his wife several years ago.

A tavern of relative quality. If you're there to get dunk, this is the place. If you're there for anything else forget it, it's a dive. The proprietor is shifty. Both the staff and the patrons rotate so often, it's hard to tell who's a regular, and who's not. It is suppose to be the headquarters of the Lia Kavir.

The Wooden Tankard is an inn just outside the small fort-town of Fobin. It caters primarily to the traveling merchants and the off-duty legionaries of the region. The Fobin Maniple has dubbed the inn to be its own. The maniple's colors can be seen hanging from the entry way. The Wooden Tankard shares its land with an ostler and a blacksmith thus offering its clientele fine service of their horses as well as their persons. The Ostler, Jarid of Gredar, can be often found in the Legionaries' bar. The blacksmith is more work-minded, and is usually inside his small shop from dawn to dusk. Travelers to Fobin along the river road down from Coranan can not miss the large wooden structure by the roadside nor the fresh smells of baking pies and roasting fowl.

Located outside the influence of the caer, Lerime Benat is a quiet man in his late forties. It is said he welcomes visitors gladly, but they are forced to listen to an old man's war stories. He only visits his villa in the hottest days of the summer to escape the heat of the city. The villa consists of four small buildings around the house itself, a few hedge rows (to protect the garden plots) and a dozen servants and 12 cottars. Lerime is a retired legionnaire, having served 8 terms (32 years.) He is independently wealthy, and a widower. His children are now grown and moved away.

A young man, he inherited his father's lands and title. His father received his land grant from the legion. The youngest ever to acquire such a title, Publius (Xerla's father) was a man of the public. He loved to frolic and party. Through lucrative ventures, he has managed to stay financially sound. Xerla is much more land bound. He serves his part time duty in Fobin, or Geishtei as a Mani. His wife, Areri, tends the house and lands when he is away. They have 8 slaves, and 13 cottars in residence near the villa.
Usually this is where caravans and the like set up to display their wares to the town. Carnivals are also held on this ground in the spring/summer months. Since they're so close to the various kingdoms, jousts and other feudalistic game occur here yearly.

Horel is an elderly man, and his mulerun mill is even older. A friendly chap, he's there at work with Bessy (his mule), from dawn to dusk. He's never married, but has adopted eight children from the Order of the Scarlet Veil. He'll tell you all the gossip in the area, and about his son, if you'll sit with him in the sun. He does not get much company. His children work the mill. Their house is in the process of getting a stone bakery built nearby. The local mason, Kalamo of Geishtei, should have the work done by the end of the year 720. The children look forward to being able to bake bread closer to home. Currently they go to the Peonian Riverside chapel to help Jarrel. Aegaruus (M:12), Traces (M:11), Olcenolius (M:6), Dalvus (F:10), Mentius (F:9), Punia (F:7), Mareius (F:4), Cinia (F:9).

Collons buried his parents last fall. He is to be wed to Idelia when she turns 16. Collons serves three months of the year at Geishtei, but is in the process of trying to get himself transferred to Fobin. He does reasonably well but hopes to be able to sell his services to Nevill at Caer Fobin when the expansion begins. Collons has a limp from a 3 year old battle wound. He occasionally buys medicines from Corrin of Gathas (Apothecary), but has recently begun going to the Peonian Riverside chapel for treatment. Corrin takes this as an affront and often tries to corner Collons about it in the central square. To date Collons has not yet been caught - but there have been some close calls.

Biulpulius is a veteran legionnaire who retired to Fobin two years ago. He is currently looking for both a wife and a few willing apprentices. Rugenaeus's oldest boys are all vying for the job. While Biulpulius is willing to take them on, Rugenaeus cannot afford to apprentice them all at the same time. The oldest three are the most likely to gain the position. Sheril has introduced Biulpulius to Galla, Sharley's second oldest girl, and hopes the match will be successful. Only time will tell. Sharley approves but Gala has yet to say.

Lassican recently buried his parents and has inherited their land. He is seeking a bride, but has only just meet with Sharl this past month. Lassican is a lanky fellow who's calloused hands seem better fitted for a quill than a sword or a plough. He can read and write, having spent time in the Shek-P'var priesthood. He returned home two years ago when he learned his father was sick. Now he's unsure if he should continue as a farmer or return to the priesthood. He seems to be leaning towards the former.

Daughter to Alfiusus of Swarend, she took the majority of her father's lands when she came of age. At 23 she is still unmarried and is quite content as a farmer. She lives with Dallia (F:32) and Dairune (F:28) both Veteran legionnaires who also help out around the farm. The town has come to accept the three as sisters, and is now use to seeing the women working their land alone. But initially they were ostracized for their lack of interest in husbands. Sharel occasionally drops by for tea, but even she has stopped trying to find them their perfect match.
