History
Originally from New Dauntless, the Kaczmareks follow the One God and fled their native country fearful of starvation, war, and legal and religious persecution. Their first two sons were born in a Sikasoon refugee camp, and the passage of the first four Kaczmareks to Myrken Wood was sponsored by Jan Baker of the Baker farm, and the following children were all born in Myrken province. They were indentured to the Bakers until Jan Baker's murder in the winter of 207, when Cinnabar Calomel purchased the farm and released their contracts of its workers. Most of them remained in service to the Calomels, taking care of the farm's horses, sheep, and other animals, working in the fields, and dealing with the farm's masonry needs as fully-vested tenants.
Family is of utmost importance to the Kaczmareks. When times were bad, they had been known to steal from Myrkentown vendors to keep the children from going hungry, and Dominik was once said to be part of an illegal smuggling ring, although their recent successes have calmed them down on the criminal front somewhat. They are fiercely defensive of one another, a fact that is said to explain why they only make lip-service objections to Agnieszka's interest in the martial arts and have now begun to support Lucasz's interest in becoming a soldier.
Karol used to be a pickpocket. He no longer engages in such behavior, as he suffered a near-fatal beating at the hands of ex-guard Curin during a botched theft and is now permanently crippled.
Magda often wins the Harvest Festival pie contests.
Currently, Dominik Kaczmarek works as a master mason in town, and Petronela runs the teahouse.
