Freehold of Obertal
The Griffon Knights of Zobeck have recently opened a
new freehold upriver from the city, to prevent banditry
and secure the lines of communication with the Ironcrag
cantons—perhaps even to reclaim Silbertal one day. This
small hill fort is the Freehold of Obertal, currently housing
a half-dozen dwarven crossbow archers, a handful of
Zobecker outriders on tough steeds used to long travel,
and a dozen kobold cooks, servants, and grooms.
The freehold is ruled and run by a wedded pair of griffon
knights, Sir Gismondo (CG male elfmarked human fighter
4), and Lady Edeltraud (CN female human fighter 4), both
devout followers of all the war gods, swearing by Valeresh
and Perun and Mavros as the mood strikes them.
These two are always looking for a fight, and sometimes
amuse themselves by demanding tolls from travelers. So
far, this abuse of their authority has not landed them in
trouble, but as soon as word reaches the Lady Mayor’s
ear or someone tells Sir Malkus Lineguard, they might
find themselves serving in a much more onerous position
as scouts helping the Magdar against the dragons. They
might not mind this change of venue.
