The Lynint Plantation

(This is a thread from Mizahar's fantasy role playing forum. Why don't you register today? This message is not shown when you are logged in. Come roleplay with us, it's fun!)

This lazy agricultural settlement rests on the swampy shores of the Middle Suvan at the delta of The Kenash River. The River's slow moving bayou waters have bred a different sort of people - rugged, cultured, and somewhat violent. Sprawling plantations of tobacco and cotton grow on the outskirts of the swamp in the rich Cyphrus soils, while the city itself curls around the bayou and spawns decadence and sins of all sorts. Life is slower in Kenash, but the lack of pace is made up for in the excesses of food and flesh in a city where drinking, debauchery, gambling, slavery, and overbearing plantation families dominate the landscape.

Silverbite plantation is a strangely deadly place to be, for slaves and strangers alike. Every plantation has need of guards and guardians, but the Lynints have a unique police force to say the least. Due to their lands surrounding the Uvic lake, there is a large series of marshy sections of Silverbite that are inhabited by all sorts of prowling aquatic creatures, and the visitor marching up to the main plantation house will note if they are observant several Granidiles sunning themselves on rocks or partially submerged in the slave-made pools that surround the home like a miniature moat.


Image
The sugar cane fields are patrolled to keep the many exotic inhabitants of Silverbite from taking up residency among the crops, but it isn't unheard of for a slave to lose their life coming or going from the fields. Rumors are the only one's that perish are one's that have behavioral problems, or are already disliked by the family.

The Lynint's are born and bred animal trainers and caretakers. They know the risks associated with many of the creatures they oversee, and while the family has a tendency towards pets, certain creatures can never quite be classified as such, a fact Lynint's know better than most.

A great source of pride for the Lynint family is their zoo. While the sugar cane makes up the greatest part of their family profit, it helps upkeep their secondary business in rare creatures, and a healthy appetite for collecting such beasts as well. Somewhere between a wildlife reserve and a formal zoo lies the enclosed stretch of land that is quartered off for the creatures that the Lynint family simply can't bear to part with, and enjoy showing off to other family's. Every visit brings new exotic birds or reptiles to see, so one must attend at least yearly if not more often to keep up on just what precisely the Silverbite Zoo holds at this time of season.

Only the most trusted and skilled slaves are allowed to maintain the zoo, and it is the perfect place for young family members looking to prove their mettle to the Plantation community to work, manage, and hone their animal handling skills. Despite the great care that is put into the Silverbite Zoo, its lands extend to the Uvic Lake, and more than one aquatic predator has been released unknowingly into the lake's water to the peril of others. These details are generally down played by the Lynint's however. After all, Kenash is filled with dangers big and small, what's one more Granidile in the mix?

NPCs

Name: Kaljia Lynint
Race: Human
DoB: The 91st Day of Spring, 478 AV
PoB: Kenash, The Cyphrus Region
Title: Head of Household of Silverbite
Skills: Animal Husbandry 73; Poisons 56; Leadership 40; Intimidation 30; Wilderness Survival: Swamp 28; Politics 23
Gnosis: N/A
Additional Info: Kaljia wasn't always the leader of the Lynint Family. Once, she was nothing more than a messenger for the former leader, a hired hand both ignored and watched closely. At the time, the only animals the Family used were birds and small mammals, but Kaljia was the first to find and train young crocodiles to guard her things. Eventually, she managed to earn herself into the good graces of the leader, overshadowing his own children in importance, and revealed a startling amount of understanding in how to lead and to reinforce feelings of obedience in one's subjects. She became the heir, earning a good few enemies, and when the former leader died she rose up to lead immediately.

Her take on things drastically changed the way the Family functioned and how they did business. Under her management, the Family gained footing and acquired more land and business as a result. They expanded their choice of animals to the many reptiles Kaljia had found interesting and useful. She takes credit for the Family's newfound glory. Her rivals have faded into obscurity, but they plot in secrecy.

 
Goods or Services
Sugar Cane is a crop that Silverbite pulls out regularly. This sweet crop grown in flooded patches are perfect for the swamp climate of Kenash. On top of that, Silverbite houses several exotic species of birds, reptiles and mammals.
