History

Nob and Rotrude met in Mudvein when Rotrude was traveling through and instantly fell in love. They married after dating for a little bit over a year. They disagree on what to do once they retire. Nob is set on returning to Oldhaven to retire, but Rotrude doesn't want to go to Oldhaven or stay on Mudvein. This negatively affected Rotrude's view on Nob. Nob, not being very perceptive of such things, hasn't noticed his wife's growing unhappiness over the past few years. Rotrude has been in a secret relationship with another man and tavern employee, Mermin Pinckney, since 108 AN.

Nicknames & Petnames

Being rather short already, Rotrude usually just calls Nob "Nob". On the other hand, Nob has all sorts of names for Rotrude: Roe, Trudy, Roeroe, and whatever else happens to pop into his head. Rotrude isn't a fan of all of the names, but has learned to live with it.

History

Mermin and Rotrude met when Mermin was hired to work at The Mud Flow. For the first two years they worked together, their relationship remained strictly professional. Over time, largely due to Rotrude's frequent ranting about her relationship with her husband, Nob, Mermin fell in love with Rotrude. Their relationship grew over time, eventually culminating in an ongoing affair behind Nob's back. They desire to run away, possibly to Al Ennore, to make a life together, but have not yet saved up enough money to do so.
In 108, despite their efforts to remain secret in their relationship, Medard Underfoot, a Miner working in the Steelhammer Mines, saw Mermin and Rotrude sneaking off alone into the forest for some private time. Medard has begun blackmailing Rotrude and Mermin, threatening to reveal what he knows to Nob.
