When things get scary or bad, some people tend to leave the location in question (in this case Kintargo). They may not leave the Provence entirely, just head for the rural areas.

I've been thinking a incorporating a refugee aspect. Not sure how to do it though. What would it reflect and effect play down the road (no pun intended)? The actions of the PCs or the city regime? Both?

Thoughts?

Just for the heck of it, I put together a brief that puts the distance of time on Golarion into perspective by using Earth. As mentioned in the AP Reign of Winter's Rasputin Must Die, which states Earth 1918 is parallel to Golarion's present (4713 AR) and using that to work backward as well as I could.

Yes I have to much time on my hands. :P

About Azia Valfaust

Origins:

Azia takes after his mother’s side; he is a bit gaunt, but an otherwise handsome young half elf with brown eyes and dark black hair. Growing up, Azia was a calm, sensitive yet charming young boy from a small town. He had showed very early signs of artistic talent under his mother’s tutelage; and while he would still run wild with the other boys his age he never strayed too far from his pastels.

Azia was grievously affected by his mother’s early mysterious death. Her parting words to her son were: “We care through death as we are unable to in life.” His father, a much darker character to begin with, soon drank himself into insignificance. Knowing of Azia’s skill and talent, his mother’s older brother, a business minded but fair man, took Azia in as an apprentice to the Architects Guild where he began to learn the trade. At fifteen the taint was discovered, and under the right guidance from guild members and the church of Azuth his understanding of the weave bloomed. He still dreams of spending those long hours in his sketch books rather than his academy study books; but the world of the wizards, quickly tempered his artistic dreams. Azia’s thirst for magic is like few other wizards, it is the pastel for his love, creativity and resentment, he has yet however to come into command over the weave because his mind is torn between his interests.

Called back to his father’s deathbed, his father confessed that he had become involved in a group called the Cult of the Dragon. They paid him to smuggle goods across the Sword Coast. Wracked by guilt, he begged Azia to investigate the cult and undo the evil he may have helped foster. Resentful of his father he never the less remains loyal to his obligations and asked for a leave from the Guild to set out for Greenest.

Preface:

Dear Venerable Gregorio of the Vicars of the High One,
It is with great regret that I must depart Tezir before your return sailing from Marsember. In your absence, I have secured my leave with my uncle and Mistress Patrona, and assured them I will return as soon as possible. I am aware that much of my work and studies under your tutelage lays incomplete, but my dying father has requested I tend immediately to some of his personal affairs in Greenest.
I have left Parsephorus with my completed work: the concepts for the cloister expansion at the temple of Oghma, the bill of quantities for the Vigilant One’s third watchtower, and the quotes for the marble slabs at the DeNori residence (I am afraid I have not been able to secure a better price). I was not able to reconcile several of the conflicting requests from the church of Gond, and I regret I must leave you and Parsephorus to sort it out.
I will miss your guidance and wisdom in all matters. I have felt frustrated these past days by my father’s request and more importantly by my inability to execute, what I feel I so clearly understand. I have not yet come into command over the Weave, yet I can feel the bend of its stings and I comprehend the words from the tomes I see before me.
I will pray for guidance from the Lord of Spells at the shrines in Eversult and Proskur. If it is of your liking, you may send a missive to me in the Guild quarters in Eversult and Proskur where I hope to secure a few days stay along my journey.
Thank you again for you patronage and support all these years, I pray to return to our work soon.
Sincerely,
Ever Your Disciple,
Azia Valfaust
