When not making trouble as one of the characters below, you can find '''K''' idling under the nickname '''Channe''', as well as encouraging people to jump IC, update the wiki's [[Current Events]] page, and generally be kind and lovely to one another.

She is currently on hiatus, playing on the forums mostly and in the channel very rarely.

'''Preston Reid Hallow''' is the third son of the Hallowhouse family of alchemists and a graduate student at the Royal University in Razasan.

Unlike his brothers, Preston has very little aptitude for traditional alchemy -- although he does know, and engage in, basic alchemy -- and instead has applied himself to the study of sociology. Having studied the entrenched class differences of Razasan’s static society throughout his undergraduate years, he found himself entranced with Myrken Wood’s strange mix of egalitarianism and indenture-oriented farm labor, he decided to do his doctoral dissertation on the effects of constant violence on class stratification in the province.

He is currently staying at the [[Broken Dagger]] inn, and seems to an affable, approachable young man with slightly scattered-looking brown hair. His clothing betrays his wealth with its well-made seams, although it’s usually quite rumpled, and he enjoys the definitively southern affectation of a good cup of coffee, preferably with a shot of good brandy in it.

=== Currently ===

Preston has just arrived in Myrken Wood.

How you view eighteen-year-old '''Agnieszka Kaczmarek''' depends completely on which side of the civic spectrum you're on.

Is she the ungrateful, unmarried, obnoxious girl leeching off her long-suffering relatives and getting in trouble with that sword she ''always'' carries around? Or, is she someone to admire, someone who ''wants'' and ''works'' hard enough to make the impossible happen -- in this case, turning an insolent farmgirl into a capable fighter?

Either way, people tend to decide within minutes of meeting the girl, who has a tendency, like many her age, towards angst and overconfidence. Calling her hot-headed is a mistake; she's merely as stubborn as a mule and as driven as a con artist with a quota.

She has spent much of her short life living in the same little sharecropper's hovel on the same little farm in the same little corner of [[Myrken Wood]] with the same seven members of her boisterious, foul-mouthed, slightly-criminal immigrant family. Like many of her peers, she has cultivated a healthy mistrust of the aristocracy and of the [[Order of Straka]]; this may explain why she has been quite careful to cultivate no affiliation to anyone other than [[Ariane Carnath-Emory]], whom she admires, and the peasant [[Kaczmareks]], to whom she is fiercely loyal.

One wonders, then, why she joined the [[Brotherhood of Janeiro]].

Agnieszka is only slightly literate, having been taught basic letters by Aeryn Karolinger, but she ''talks'' like a brassy, well-wrought auctioneer. She is canny, bony, and black-haired, loyal where life calls for loyalty, and hopelessly hopeful. The Broken Dagger has been a revelation for the young farmhand: from her first exposure to Myrken's movers and shakers, she's hung around the place attempting to cobble a better life for herself out of their scraps, leavings, and occasional generous offers.

Growing up in [[Myrken Wood]] has prompted her to take what she can get, and usually, what she can get is ''quite a bit.''

=== Currently ===

Agnieszka resigned from the [[Brotherhood of Janeiro]] when [[Cinnabar Calomel]], in his capacity as Governor, broke the Brotherhood's contract and the mercenaries departed for better climes. She is currently working with her family on Calomel's Farm and contemplating her next move.

Agnieszka is serving in the [[Brotherhood of Janeiro]], funneling most of her pay to fund life and liberty for the rest of the [[Kaczmareks]]; she is a known consort of former Brotherhood captain [[Aeryn Karolinger]], of whom she is fiercely defensive.

She and [[Rhaena Olwak]] spend quite a bit of time in the [[Broken Dagger]] giggling, drinking, and talking about various 'business propositions'. She is also teaching Rhaena to fight. Lately, she has come to blows with [[Alastir]] and created an uneasy, okay truce with [[Glenn Burnie]].

She is continuing her studies of the rapier, and has ''plans'', in case [[Curin]] or [[Trilby]] is ever seen in Myrken Wood again.

Myrken Militia

2008-01-14T19:16:21Z

72.17.132.54:

The '''Myrken Militia''' is an organization of farmers, merchants, and craftsmen who volunteer their arms and their lives in the defense of [[Myrkentown]].

==Organization==

The previous militia, commanded by the northerner General [[Eriks DeMord Sleipner]], was loosely based on an actual army. Rank was unofficial, and commanders were elected and removed by their troops. This militia was disbanded after Sleipner’s departure from [[Myrken Wood]] in late AR 206, and due to the resulting chaos among members, has not been mustered since.

After over a year’s inactivity, Myrken native, former farmhand and ex-Brotherhood soldier [[Agnieszka Kaczmarek]] was recently named to the vacant seat of militia Captain, signaling a possible reform of the organization.

==Purpose==

The Militia defends the town in times of need and emergency.

The Militia generally does not sally forth to fight battles like the army would; Militiamen are primarily a defensive force, manning walls, patrolling the countryside and protecting their own. They are not meant to be full-time soldiers, and train instead in their free time while pursuing their lives and crafts.

The previous Militia was meant to defend only [[Myrkentown]]. Whether this will continue to be the case is still unclear.

==Numbers==

In past years, the Militia has numbered anywhere between 800 and 5000 volunteers.

==[[Equipment and Training]]==

Militiamen are required to purchase and maintain their own equipment, armaments and protective gear.
