	The village of Kingsford sits on the spot where the Council of Nine,
 leading the slaves to freedom, came out of the mountains and crossed the
 Wayward River. The spot was later settled as a village (only 20 or 30 years
 ago), because of the great amount of Salmon that come up-stream to spawn.
 The village is a loose confederation of 6 families, all working together to
 eek out a good life here, relatively safe from the dangerous frontier, and
 the prying eyes of the King.

1. The MacGregor house. The MacGregors are fishermen and boatmen. They earn
 their keep by catching and selling salmon to the other families, as well as
 various oils, tinctures, etc made from other aquatic creatures and
 substances.Thomas is the oldest at 60, with his wife Alia; their son,
 Marcus and his wife Deborah run the business, with the help of their four
 sons; Joseph, Ryan, James and Thomas II (the eldest).

2. The Owen place. The Owens are a pack of 3 brothers who settled here with
 their wives and children. Jeffrey and his wife Christine run a blacksmith
 shop, making various useful and decorative items. Though Jeffrey
 desperately wants children, Christine is (sadly) barren. Rouan and his wife
 Trista herd sheep and goats above the village, with their daughter Melissa.
 David and Rebbecca run a cobbler/tailor shop, making various fabric and
 leather items. Their son Randall just turned four.

3.Throughgood Church. The home of Graham and his father Samuel Through good,
 along with Graham's two younger siblings Diana and Athena. His older
 brother Robert is in the army, serving over the mountains past
 Hillsburrough. Samuel is the town's resident priest and doctor, holding
 sermons on the front lawn of his home. His wife and the mother of the
 children, Gwendolyn, passed away some years ago of a consumption.

4. The Morgan farm. The Morgans are a family of farmers.On their land they
 raise grain, beans, fruit, vegetables, etc. They also help Samuel
 Throughgood maintain his herb garden. Thadius, the father, is ailing and in
 his 70s. His wife Adria is not much better. Their daughter Brianna and her
 husband Shamas work the farm with their three children; Billy, Connor, and
 Pamela.

5. Strongheart keep. The house of the Strongheart family is named such
 because it also serves as the jail - since the Stronghearts are the
 village's protectors. The father, Alan, is the oldest at 55. His three
 sons, Alex, Jordan, and Herbert work under his command as the town guard.
 His two daughters, Eileen and Elena, serve as jail guards mostly (and
 since there is hardly ever anything more than a drunkard in the jail, they
 have a pretty easy job).

6. Magistrate's house and court. Sent here by King Braddock, Judge
 Rothschild sees his assignment as a punishment (and it is). He and his wife
 constantly petition the king for a reassignment to a new location,
 somewhere far away from this backwater berg. They are always turned down,
 however, since Judge Rothschild had an affair with the Royal Trading
 Company manager's mistress, and the manager of said company pushes the king
 as hard as possible to make the Judge suffer. So he, his wife Suzanna (who
 is such a blatant harlot and drunk that she is his wife only in name), with
 their 4 children Ralph, Jimbo (the slow one), Lisa and Nelson. They also
 own the village's only horse, "Horse". That's what they get for letting
 Jimbo name the horse.
