Family Ability

"It is known that..."

Not too worried about fashion, they focus on plainer clothes, traditionally green. What collars they wear are simple and largely unadorned. Jewellery, like the rest of their attire is simple and not overly frivolous, however, they will always wear a brooch or a necklace featuring a feather or quill.

  • Perhaps the most studious of the founding families, known for their quiet devotion to scholarship and the written word.

  • Their pursuit of knowledge - be it theological, historical, or arcane - has earned them a reputation as keepers of wisdom and enlightenment.

  • Though less inclined to trade or engage in martial affairs, their counsel is sought by many, with their records, reports, diaries and journals held to the highest regard.

  • They consider the act of documentation sacred.

Family Ability

Family Ability: “It is known that…”


With the innate need to understand the world around them the Barrows have gained an insight into what they believe is certain and factual above all else. Once per game a Barrow player may say directly to another a statement about another person/object/thing that they believe is a direct fact. This is done by saying the statement out loud and directing with the hand held outwards at the person in question.


The receiving player will believe the statement to be true with a fervent resolve until they have had the scales “fall from their eyes” and the Barrow ‘corrects’ them or the truth has had all evidence pointed towards it.


For example: It is known that the Barrow family always get first choice from the merchant.”
