Farland: Jester

The tradition of court jesters is as old as courts themselves, but in modern times the kings of Kale, before the Dark Conquest, became famous for keeping harlequins and comedians of all sorts. Before long, the Thieves Guild of the Pech Quarter in Kale City devised an idea: to recruit some of the jesters of the court and train them as special operatives to keep tabs on the king. These comedians were even eventually trained in the ways of magic to imbue their jokes with power. This idea had varying success— some jesters were successful spies, and some were caught and killed— but the tradition of rogues-turned-jester lived on and spread beyond Kale. Now rogue jesters can be found in all corners of Farland.
