Henrietta Garland
Heinrietta Garland is an aging halfling lock-keeper living at Hartsklien Lock.
Henrietta, as befits her race, enjoys a relaxed life of simple pleasures; she likes nothing more than sitting by her house, watching the canal go by, smoking her pipe, or tending her fine garden. Her responsibilities are minimal: repairs are handled by engineers employed by the Gruber family of Weissbruck.
While operating the lock gates takes some effort, most barge-hands, after watching her bent and diminutive frame struggling with the gates, usually end up giving her a hand. In return, Garland will often share a pipe-full of her finest Mootland Greenleaf, as well as her scathing opinion on these new-fangled, steam-powered lock-wheels she keeps hearing about.
The local River Wardens know Henrietta well enough that they will not use the lock up in her house unless absolutely necessary, as she does not like criminals underneath her roof. Besides, she uses the cell as a storeroom for her gardening equipment, and for growing mushrooms.
