+	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.
