Adalard & Frideger: Are a set of Beorning brthers who work a bee pasture between the Old Road and the Easterly Inn. They were friendly enough, Adalard the more friendly of the two. After trading some news, and directions, they also traded some honey combs to Pipkin for coins.
Gelvira Pot-stirrer & Husband Rathar: The farmstead of Gelvira Pot-Stirrer is the closest to the Old Ford, and so many travellers spend the night under her roof. She has a huge bubbling stew-pot over a fire that never goes out; she keeps topping up the pot with more meat and vegetables and herbs whenever it runs low. Her guest-hall can sleep more than a score of travellers, and it is full some nights. Her husband brews beer and mead for their guests, and her daughters are acclaimed bakers. Many adventures begin with chance-meetings at the Hall of the Crossing.
Gelvira's position means she knows every regular traveller on the roads of Wilderland. She hears every rumour, and meets regularly with Beorn to bring him news of potential trouble. He considers her to be one of his most valuable advisors, and listens closely to her counsel.
Merovech and Odo: Slain Thains of Beorn. It was the discovery of their bodies that set the Kin-strife Chapter into action.
Hartwulf: A village elder of Stonyford. A greybeard who leans heavily upon a staff, and mumbles when he talks. The villagers call him their wiseman, and believe he knows all sorts of magical secrets – but who knows what he means when he mutters to himself?
Ava: A village elder of Stonyford. Hartwulf’s daughter and one of the strongest personalities in the village. She is the clan’s diplomat and spokeswoman when trading and dealing with outsiders. She mistrusts visitors, and always tries to dissuade them from coming too close to the village.
Williferd: A village elder of Stonyford. A warrior. With the recent death of Rathfic and the disgrace of Oderic, Williferd is now the most experienced warrior of Stonyford. He is very nervous about this new honour, and is clearly jumpy. He keeps one hand on his axe-handle at all times.
Oderic: A young man accused of murdering his kin Rathfic over the love of a woman. He was exonerated by the party in the Trial on the Carrock, but still choose to leave the Beorning lands. He traveled to Rhosgobel with the Fellowship and remained there in service to Radagast. He helped insure the defeat of an 'army' of bandits from the south.
Brunhild: Since the death of her husband and the arrest of her foster-brother, Brunhild has attended to her duties as a grieving widow. Every day, she puts fresh flowers on the grave-mound of Rathfic, and lights candles at night to guide his soul to whatever Doom awaits mankind. She has become cold and brittle, like a woman of ice.
Others say that he is a man descended from the first men who lived before Smaug or the other dragons came into this part of the world, and before the goblins came into the hills out of the North… At any rate he is under no enchantment but his own.
