Gift of Taal
the gift of peace: spend a fortune point to speak first, before blades are drawn. against normal animals or people. this autosucceeds with a number of degrees equal to your fellowship. against chaos or notable foes, you must make a fellowship check against their WP to get through to them. note that slaughtering a notable enemy (unless he succeeds on his WP check) after this has been used will result in bad things happening.

Spoiler: Background

Show

Bruno was born in the small village of Trautenau in Talabecland. It was a small and poor village which had trouble growing enough food to feed themselves, let alone pay taxes. As the third son, his prospects weren't good at all and as soon as he was old enough, he had to help on the fields. The village was out of the way but sometimes a small trade caravan passed through, which was a huge event for the village. The year he turned 16 his father died and with his brother now in charge of the small farm, there was even less for him to look forward to, so when a caravan passed the village, he decided to join up. It was quite different from life in the village but soon he grew accustomed and he started following the roadwardens assigned to the caravan. They took in the young boy and started training him.

After a year or so he was appointed roadwarden himself and together with a more experienced man, assigned a stretch of road to patrol. He had been doing that for a few years, when they arrived at a caravan that was besieged by a group of beastmen. The roadwardens managed to surprise the beastmen and attack from behind, but they quickly recovered. It was a long and difficult fight and in the end only Bruno, Baronet Joseph Richter (younger brother to Baron Franz Richter) and two of his servants survived. They managed to get to the nearest coaching inn and raise the alarm about the beastmen. The Baronet was quite impressed with Bruno and asked him to become his squire.

This was a new experience for the young man and while Joseph wasn't all that rich and also more of a country noble than a city noble, he did have to adapt to his new situation, as for instance some etiquette was expected of him. A lot of these lessons came from a Professor Lorrimor, who had requested to stay at the Richter estate to research some ruins nearby. Joseph had his squire Bruno take care of the professor while he was there and in return, Lorrimor taught the young squire how to read and write and the knowledge of heraldry.

A couple of years later, Joseph had to represent his brother with a merchant's guild when a rival guild tried to poison him. Bruno, who wasn't affected by the poison, managed to save Joseph and the lead merchant. In recognition for this and the fact that he had managed to get some excellent terms in the agreement, Joseph formally adopted the young man and when he died a few months later, Bruno was now Baronet Richter. There wasn't much money nor an estate, so he continued to roam the empire and make his way in the world that way. His adopted family lets him do so, as long as he doesn't embarrass them (if he's away, they don't have to feed him). They didn't mind him becoming part of the family, but that doesn't mean they're going to just give him money.

Spoiler: personality

Show

Bruno still remembers his time on the small farm, so he's a lot kinder to the common people than most other nobles. Also his title is one of the lowest noble titles and it doesn't come with a lot of money, so he has to work for a living just like them. He's soft-spoken and will seldom raise his voice, although in combat he can be heard if he wants to.

Spoiler: description

Show

Burno is a nice looking young man, although he has some scars from fights from earlier in his life. He's a bit above average height, but with his brown hair and eyes, he can be from just about anywhere in the Empire. He wears simple, sturdy adventurer's clothing while on the road, although he has a nicer outfit should the situation call for it.
