Arranged Marriage#

Person she was going to be wed to is politically advantageous to the Ravenswoods.
-> Strengthens trading relations with Baldur’s Gate.
-> Senad Sylvane
Maybe trading relations with the north even?

Family will respect her actions, but will want her to at least repay her debt to the Sylvanes if she is to forfeit her marriage.

Cyrus#

Cyrus: Strong jawed face with medium longwhite straight hair, and this beautifully groomed royale beard (neat goatee + straight mustache. Wearing beautiful black ceremonial armor, and a necklace of a huge tooth around his neck.

Upset she is running away from family responsibilities.

  • "Going to marry someone completely outside our support system?"
  • "You would need to relinquish your title."
  • "Well, you’ve been away for a month now, how’s your new living arrangements working out for you? What we have here does not simply appear out of nothing."
  • "You disappoint me."

If brother, maybe he can rave about him?
"I gave you life, I can take it away." (Smashes mug on floor.).
Would apologize for this later.

XXX Ravenswood#

Sympathetic mother, but she also married politically as a child.

You see a woman standing in the back. She briefly flashes you a look of relief, before resuming her expressionless gaze.

  • "Aqy, I’m sorry. I should’ve stood up for you."
  • "Despite his menacing looks right now, please do consider his words. What will you do without our families protecting you? Roaming around with these scoundrels? They’re a lot more likely to get you killed than your father.
  • "I see you are playing my flute. Are you trying to follow in my footsteps and become proper bard?"
  • "If you do you should consult the college" / inspire her to be whisperer / glamour bard
  • "I see you brought your lute. Are you trying to learn the way the bards after all?"
