Ence Currian
Natalia Catalina Currian is a well-trained young lady of the Cantonian Kingdom. Her family is a long line of highly-respected majordomos and castellans. She was serving and training in a school in Kalamata when a letter arrived from Senior Drag'huul of the Carvorel Military Academy. A young man he had trained had recently been granted Cantonian citizenship, and was tasked with reparing and overseeing Creiss Castle, former home of Doña Letizia Gomes Castillo. Senior Drag'huul suggested she send a letter of introduction to the man, Sir Norvaan Longard.
Unbeknownst to Miss Currian, a very similar letter was sent to the knight, recommending that he find someone to, in his words, "Have a steady and firm hand with the villagers and staff. It won't do to bark orders at them, and I have just the person in mind." Upon reading the letter, Norvaan begrudgingly agreed, as construction work began, and refugees from the original siege returned. The soldiers he oversaw had no qualms with his style, but the villagers often felt as if he was far too much "a soldier, not a knight, and nothing like our Doña.." The Captain-of-the-Guard Althan Notorus agreed, and often acted as an intercessor for Norvaan.
When Miss Currian's letter arrived, the message was much longer than he expected. The introduction was the least intriguing part to him. The back few pages were nothing less than a written contract, offering her skills and expertise, for compensation, and suitable living quarters. Seeing this, Norvaan spoke as if Yeonar himself were standing right next to him, "Right on target, just like always, Sir." He responded quickly with an offer of a meeting for negotiation in Danberg.
Miss Currian agreed and set a date two months out, time enough for the communcation and travel to Danberg by both parties. Norvaan asked Sir Bendroden Lightbringer to recommend a stable for his mount. He booked a room at the Lion's Inn, and had Miss Currian meet him there. They sat down in a back room, with a scribe and hammered out a new contract. If you asked her, she got the better end of the bargain. If you asked him, he did. A month and a half later, Miss Currian arrived on a wagon, luggage and all, to Castle Creiss.
She began first by introducing herself to the staff and spending time learning names, duties, and the intricacies of dealing with a keep under constant construction in the middle of the wilderness.
