As we were summoned to the Office of the Governor of Freehaven, I couldn’t help but wonder why. Had we somehow drawn her wrath? Sure, we got into a bar brawl, but that was just another day in Freehaven.
The Governor’s office was surprisingly utilitarian. Two towering bookcases, a desk, a few chairs, two plants, and a painting – hardly what one would expect from the former pirate queen Ronya Redbeard, Hauntress of the 13 seas, Tormentress of Trade, slayer of the dragon turtle.
Now retired, she seeks to reform Freehaven into a civilized city. But don’t be fooled by her age or title – Ronya Redbeard is still a force to be reckoned with. Her long, shining red beard with white streaks and piercing green eyes reveal a powerful dwarf who can still crush skulls with her bare hands. It’s no wonder she can command the respect of pirates, smugglers, outcasts, and other scum that call this city home. Just meeting her gaze is enough to send chills down your spine.
