Rhydin at a Glance - Frequently Played Quirks

Frequently Played Quirks:

Bodyguard of the RDI, aka: Guido:

Guido is the Bouncer of the RDI; a rather large, thick, human-seeming man with an Italian ancestry. He works for the corporation, and services all Red Dragon Affiliations. Guido is a collective NPC. He is frequently seen dragging some unwanted terror out of the Inn or Keep. Tenders as well as Patrons utilize him; he is a fixture, like the fireplace.

Grail's attacking Stew! Beware!

Formally a semi-sentient mass of some sort of concoction that Grail began building upon many moons ago. Over the years it has mutated into an aggressive, mean tempered sentient being. The Stew can be found locked in a cauldron inside the Red Dragon Inn's main kitchen, unless it escapes. Guido has been spotted feeding unwanted terrors to the Stew. It is always available, if nothing else is, and for those brave enough to battle it, we have heard it is a hearty meal.

Money, aka Coin:

Money grows on trees in Rhydin, or at least so it appears. All manner of currency can be found in use somewhere by someone most of the time. The most popular are coins for the City and Creds for the Stars End Sector, although neither will decline anything in lieu of paying the tab. Gold, silver, gems of all variety have crossed palms, as well as currency from every time period, real or not so. Anything of worth is worthy for trade in Rhydin. Although there is this terrible trend of conjuring coin; in a realm where magic works and does it very well, it is to be expected. Many will insist on testing gold and silver coin to avoid a till full of leaves and dirt come morning. Unfortunately they haven't learned to catch the other counterfeiters afoot.

Nexus Shifts/Storms:

Finding your way about may sometimes be subject to different factors. Many places and locales remain stationary, but at "the center of the multiverse" you can expect some shifting. Buildings, streets and sometimes whole neighborhoods have been known to "dislocate" and wind up in another area; from just a few yards away to across their respective cities. The nexus is an energy mass that ebbs and flows like a tide. Sometimes there are, what have been called, storms, where the tide becomes violent and more chaotic. Nexus storms have been blamed for all manner of things, from random disappearances at a favorite hang out to the incitements of riotous behavior. Nexus storms are a convenient scapegoat for any disaster.

Rhydin PD:

Also underpaid and woefully understaffed, the Rhydin Police Department, otherwise known as RPD, has garnered the reputation of being Rhydin's very own "Keystone Cops". They cater to a more Urban Fantasy genre than Medieval. This is not the official patrol referred to in Rhydin Government.

Weather:

"I came into the inn that night, shaking water from my cloak and there's a guy in the corner looking out at the sunrise on this perfect day?" See: Nexus! ::Grins.:: Weather on Rhydin is subject to the individual. If one enters a place stomping snow from their boots and another comes short on their heels pontificating the beautiful night, it is simplest to believe they each traveled different routes. Rhydin is huge, and… See: Nexus!
