The Greco Hut

Description:

Found at the foot of Mt Skyinarta and the Sankias Pass, the Greco Hut is a simple house built with a smiple purpose: To teach those willing how to use a sword.

A one story building, the Hut is built from the wood of The Unforgiving itself. Though the outside is plain, boasting simple windows provided by Wind Reaches Avora and a wrap-around porch, the inside is where all the time and effort went. The interior of the building consists of two rooms: the practice floor and Archeron's office and bedroom.

The Practice Floor takes up most of the space. The floors are sectioned off into different quadrants, each mimicking a different kind of terrain that one might have to fight on. Rocky ground was on one corner, the spongy feel of forest or swamp land in another. Real grass was by the door and there was a sandpit in the center. About chest level and off to the left of the entrance was a beam on which the combatants could stand and fight while practicing their balance. Along the back wall is a series of wide boards, staggered and randomly placed. These simulated ledges like one would find on the side of the mountain itself.

The rest of the space was taken up by rack after rack of swords hung carefully on the wall. Unless it was required to be custom made for the user, the sword, dagger, polearm, axe or any other kind of melee weapon could be found here and used.

Sword fighting isn't very popular in Wind Reach, as most of the Hunter Avora use bows, but Archeron wants to change all that. The Greco hut is a place where people can come to learn the art of the sword from the master swordsmen himself. Archeron also trains those wishing to learn the staff, or spear. If you don't have the necessary weapons to use then you can buy them from Archeron (check the price list for said items) If you don't wish to buy, you can rent a weapon from him for 4 pinion per day. When he's not at the hut, you can find Archeron at the Cedar Amphitheater, where he puts on sword and staff shows from time to time.

 
NPCs

Name: Archeron Greco
Race: Human
Date of Birth: Season of Winter, Day 30, 478AV, 33 years of age
Place of Birth: Syliras
Title: Master swordsmen/ hunter
Skills: Weapon (long sword) 78/100, Wilderness Survial 76/100, Weapon Staff/ 70/100, Hunting 51/100
A serious man who prefers his solitude, Archeron takes his art and training as life or death situations and can be a tough teacher. He is a tall, slightly muscular man with very short, dark hair. He mostly keeps his beard shaved, but lets it grow in the winter. He has almond-shaped green eyes and a narrow face. Archeron usually wears light armor and carries a sword with him at all times.

Born in Syliras to a family of weapon smiths and merchants, Archeron was always around weapons and found a love for them. It didn't take long for his proficiency with the weapons to shine, as he was beating his older brothers in their mock battles before he could properly talk. When he was old enough, Archeron's father tried to hand off the business to him, but instead of learning the business, he chose to travel the world and learn the art of fighting. In later years he became a hunter and also a guide for those hoping to cross the wild lands safely. After doing this for 5 or so years, he decided to settle in a single place and stay. He had traveled to Wind Reach a few times before while doing jobs and liked it a lot. Upon his return, and with hired help, he built the Greco from the ground up.

Name: Marlene Yantavi
Race: Inartan
Date of Birth: Season of Spring, Day 9, 487 AV, 23 years old
Place of Birth: Wind Reach
Title: Avora Chef
Skills: Cooking 76/100, Brewing 60/100, Food Preservation 50/100, Weapon skill (staff) 36/100

Marlene is a slender woman with long dark hair, attractive brown eyes and fair skin. She is a kind woman, who enjoys conversation and learning new skills.

Marlene was born and raised in Wind Reach. She started out as a Yasi working in the Hydroponic Gardens and then moved into the kitchens when it was realized that she had the talent to be a chef. Marlene enjoyed doing both but it seemed as if she was more fulfilled in the kitchen than in the garden.

Years later, she met Archeron during one of his visits to the city, and he was charmed by her and the food that she prepared. However it wasn't until his third visit, when he saw her during the afternoon, and decided to teach her a bit about self defense that she noticed him. She was taken in by marital arts and wanted to learn more at once.

It was then, when Archeron returned for the fourth time that she asked if he would train her. He agreed and once the hut was built, he allowed her to move in with him. From that day forward she trained with him and learned to use the staff. Marlene now cooks for Archeron as well as help with the training of those wanting to learn the staff.
