Map of Vigil

===================Gazetteer===================
Bonewatch The Knights of Ozem are officially headquartered in Vigil near Castle Overwatch. Taking its name from Vigil's main fortress, Bonewatch is a large building outside of the central walls but not too far away. While closely connected to Lastwall and Vigil, the Knights are an independent organization. The Bonewatch is a single imposing complex comprised of numerous tunnels and protected walkways connecting several buildings surrounded by a simple stone wall. The walls display undead scourges falling before crusades, heavily featuring bones and skeletons.
Bonewatch's bleak visage hides the training quarters of scrubs and Knights as well as a barracks for Knights dwelling in Vigil and those currently training to become Knights of Ozem.

Minor Lastwall Locations:

Azure Helms An upscale tavern surrounded by trade depots. It has stone walls, a white tile roof and vaulted ceilings. Run by a blonde elf.
Rose Chalice A run down dock tavern run by an overweight halfling named Ancis, who claims to be a former crusader. The place is a local watering hole for Lastwall soldiers.
Alacarty's Scriptorium A place for cheap scribing, cheap books and possibly illegal forgeries.
Valor's Hilt A merchant guild that provides basic adventuring supplies, at cost, to Knights of Ozem. Run by a Knight of Ozem who retired.
Chapel of the Luminescent Dawnflower Sarenrae's Chapel bears a four foot wide bronze sun above a pair of unassuming double wooden doors. The building itself looks to be two stories and is made of white-washed stone in a Chelaxian style. It is most likely an older building that has been restored and re-purposed. Within, numerous windows provide expansive light while a few multi-coloured stained glass windows scatter beautiful patterns on the clean floors and simple pews for prayer.

Theodric Prentice Boy with thin black hair, a thin mustache and a seemingly perpetual frown. He may be a noble son, but was turned down from choosing his number. Page 1
Elyssa Arunt A girl with short brown hair. She always seems to be tinkering with something and frequently has smudges on her face and hands. Her hair is currently slightly singed on one side. Seems a bit mouthy, but easily subdued. Page 1

Rans Ageield A bearded Taldan noble with long blonde hair and sharp, hazel eyes. He seems a bit cocky. Father is a brother to a senate member. Page 1
Ardis Rotheld A nervous boy with thick, straight brown hair and a scraggly beard. His brother is a Knight of Ozem. They are originally from Ustalav and are the only survivors of a werewolf attack. Page 1

Bryson Tray A pudgy, scholarly looking boy with glasses and yellow hair. His family are Taldan nobles. Page 1

Jalen Sturgis Son of a deceased knight. He is confident with short hair and a stern face. His smile is infectious. While confident, he doesn't come off as arrogant. Page 1

Cohort Two

He has a grudge against practically anyone who does not fall into line and do what he thinks they should. He has short, black hair and a fairly cruel disposition. Trained in the Aldori style. Page 2

Septima Cane A tall, very attractive girl with pixie cut blonde hair. The Cane's are a rich noble family in Lastwall controlling much of the stone and ore trade. They have a fierce reputation as traders and an equally famous reputation for honesty. Septima is a spoiled daughter who had the best growing up and rarely wanted for something she asked for. She's not very good at insults, takes offense easily, and holds grudges for a long time. Page 2
Cú Uladh Ó Braonain Pronounced "Covey" this Iobarian boy is far from home. He's an ulfen who grew up in the diseased and primitive lands of Iobaria. His position in the Bonewatch is sponsored by one of the Knights, although the Knight's name seems to change each time the story is asked or told. He speaks with a heavy accent.

Cohort Three
Basil Stephenson The current number one of cohort three. He has a small reputation as a zealot of Iomedae, claiming he has visions. He grew up the son of a peasant and fought hard to earn himself a spot in the Bonewatch. Basil is enamored with chivalry and old fables of Knighthoods, often speaking in an antiquated manner like the stories he reads from. Despite his rather erratic behavior, he also takes honor and glory very seriously.
