People

Gavin of Fedra (freehold farmer)

Gavin is a stout man in his late fifties, stands bundled up in a thick, worn coat, its color faded from many seasons of use. His face, partially obscured by a woolen scarf wrapped around his neck, shows signs of weathering from years of working outdoors. The lines around his eyes deepen as he squints against the cold breeze, and his hands, through holes in his gloves, are rough and calloused.

He wears a hat pulled down over his ears, but stray wisps of grey hair peek out, fluttering in the breeze. Despite the chill, his eyes have a warm, friendly twinkle, and he manages a smile as he greets the group, though a shiver through his body tells that the cold weather is not to his liking. He seems eager for a bit of conversation, or maybe just a sale.

His stall beside the road between Tashal and Swune is simple but neatly organized and often displays fruit not typical for the time of year as he's managed to build himself a decent greenhouse and thus has crops ripening at different times than most. He charges a premium for these rare items.
