[bigger][b]Cyran Androtus[/b][/bigger]

[b]District[/b]: [i]1[/i] Success on [i]Luminous Wharf[/i]

[b]Analyze[/b]: A PC who demonstrates knowledge of the greater universe with Knowledge (planes) impresses Cyran. A PC who succeeds at a Knowledge (nobility) or Profession (merchant) check can appeal to Cyran’s devotions to the Prophecies. Alternatively, a canny PC can use Bluff to bewilder the accomplished wizard, whose interest in Material Plane matters is minimal.

[b]Strengths[/b]: Cyran despises being told that he needs others to prosper. A PC who attempts to sell the importance of an alliance based on the premise that Cyran needs additional support takes a –4 penalty on the check.

[b]Weaknesses[/b]

[b]Influence[/b] Knowledge (Planes or Nobility), Profession (Merchant), Bluff

​

[bigger][b]Irith Nomazamo[/b][/bigger]

[b]District[/b] [i]3[/i] success on [i]Prophet’s Burg[/i], [i]2[/i] success on [i]Working End[/i]

[b]Analyze[/b]: Irith is a merchant by trade, and those using Profession (merchant) in their talks with her appeal to her life’s work. A PC can also use Knowledge (nobility) or Diplomacy to appeal to Irith’s political interests, or use Bluff to cheat his way through negotiations with her.

[b]Strengths[/b] Irith knows she’s going to lose many districts of Alabastrine during this bidding process, but her pride keeps her aggressive as ever during the process. Those of you who insinuate that Irith is likely to lose territory take a –4 penalty on checks to influence her.

[b]Weaknesses[/b] Irith takes great pride in what she’s accomplished while governing Alabastrine. A PC who applauds her previous efforts as lord-councilor gains a +4 bonus on a single influence attempt against her.

​

[bigger][b]Temel Passad[/b][/bigger]

[b]District[/b]: [i]1[/i] success on [i]Courts of Abstinence[/i]

[b]Analyze[/b]: Passad is somewhat of a coward, and easily falls prey to bullies using Intimidate to force him to increase his bidding beyond what he’s comfortable with. More social skills, such as Bluff or Diplomacy, can help the PCs talk Temel into throwing most of his wealth at Alabastrine. Finally, discussing the military viability of the Courts of Abstinence using Knowledge (history) prompts Temel to further his bidding.

[b]Influence[/b] Bluff, Diplomacy, Knowledge (History)

​

[bigger][b]Vayde Petronax[/b][/bigger]

[b]District[/b]: [i]3 Success[/i] on the [i]Scriptum[/i]

[b]Analyze[/b]

[b]Strengths[/b]

[b]Weaknesses[/b] Knowledge is power, and should the PCs discover Vayde’s interest in the Scriptum, they can subtly reveal their discovery to the patriarch of the Petronax family. If this weakness is revealed, reduce the number of successes required to fully influence Vayde by 1. This can only occur once.

The Bidding Process

There are a total of five districts up for purchase in the scheduled bidding for Alabastrine, as well as a conveniently matched number of bidders. Each of the five bidders is required to host a social function as part of the bidding. During these soirees, a member of the Resplendent Bureaucracy—Druma’s governing body—takes bids on each district of Alabastrine. At the conclusion of the social function, the Resplendent Bureaucracy representative relays the current lead bidder for each district. At the end of the final function, the winners are announced, and the allocation of Alabastrine is declared complete.
