Overview

Location: A few hours ride up the Border Road from Quickstone Overview: Player Faction Key NPCs:

Details

  • This is the Players Bastion
  • It is self Sufficient and provides the players with a bed and board while there
  • It has a staff of around 30 and a head of 300 Tribex
  • See [[Quickstone#History [ 2]|History]] for a history of the ranch within Quickstone

What others think of you

  • The Tuuva Clan, The Coins and The Chanters have a begrudging acceptance of the Tunstall’s
    • Because the Tunstall’s Ranch was part of the Original settlement they accept they have a place in the town. But because they didn’t come immediately during the resettlement, they are still “new comers”
  • The Tunstall Ranch keeps itself to itself and deals with most matters internally, so the Rule of Law (Faction) tends to keep its nose out of the Ranch’s business.
    • They are also aware that without the Tribex meat from the Ranch, or the money from its trade the town would likely fail again

What the Ranch thinks of Others

  • The Grizzlies and the Mourners along with anyone in The Tents are a good source of strong hard working labours. The Tunstall’s likely have friends and allies in both Camps
  • The Tuuva Clan are important to the Ranch as they facilitate their trade within the Town and the wider world.
  • As a policy Eliona Tunstall has always welcomed any one with a good work ethic onto the Ranch, so many of the workers are Droaam. As a rule the ranch cares about what you do, not what you look like.
  • The Ranch does harbour some ill will towards the Brelish Leadership outside of Quickstone, due to the death of John Tunstall. They family see it as slight that he was called & died up after working so hard to feed the nation. This minor grudge does not extend to the leaders of Quickstone, who they know are not to blame for the policy of the King’s Citadel.

Effects on Characters

  • All characters are “Tunstall’s” either by Blood, Marriage or Adoption.
  • Blood relation characters are Elf, Khoravar or Human
    • All selections will be represented as different strengths of Khoravar
  • Maximum Offspring character age is 50, its probably actually a lot less than that
  • You can be a member of the family as any lineage (including Gargoyle, Gnoll, Harpy, Medusa and Worg), but your relationship with the Family is like that of a Blood member. This works in both directions.

Default Character Template

Your a Child of John & Eliona. You went your own way when the family returned from the Frontier after the Sacking of Graystone. Whatever you did since then you were brought up a Ranch Hand. You know Tribex, you know Farming. 3 Years ago Eliona Called you back “to the family ranch” to restore the family legacy. You also understand that the Ranch is like a ship. Its captains word is Law, and Eliona’s word carries that weight, as well as that of being your mother.

This is only default and very open to adjustment but anything needs to marry well with this core concept of the campaign.
