There is a lot you don't know about Castana, and your army might need the help of someone with certain qualities that are currently not being employed within it. Thus, it might seem useful to you to hire someone who can help in such a manner. Thankfully, you are in the capital of an empire, and thus. It should be easy to find some talent.
Thus, you decide to recruit in a nearby inn after giving the innkeeper some lesser bronze coins. Basic qualifications are literacy, a certain level of education in a trade or something else, and the willingness to travel longer distances.
With these standards in mind, you narrow the choices down to a few candidates.
The first is a woman by the name of Gebirg Pflücker. A herbalist who is eager to leave the capital after failing to find employment. She has ample knowledge about the various herbs, fruits, and mushrooms that can be eaten in the wild, a good trait if you are several days removed from society. But she is also afraid of violence and seems to whine about things that make her uncomfortable.
Lorn Radmacher, a dwarven wheelwright and farrier, is the second candidate. who has to seek new employment after his workplace was burned down by a clumsy apprentice of his. He is admirably optimistic about the whole thing because he jokes that the only fatality in the incident was the apprentice. Nevertheless, while you do have smiths who make the horseshoes, he has specialised in them, and a wheelwright would also be handy to repair any carts that break, yet he isn't without his flaws, as a man from another table tells you as soon as he is gone. He is prone to perfecting his work for too long and will get mad if you press him on it too much.
Ulrich Schreiber is the third candidate, an apprentice scribe until his master was run out of the city for standing debts. A clever young lad, he can write both classical languages, Isidorian and Mithradian. Though he can't speak them, he is apparently rather quick with the quill and thus able to write at a good rate. Unfortunately, he had a habit of turning up late to his old workplace and is not much of an early bird.
The last candidate is a doctor. Marco Ebra, a physician by trade from Castana, is currently looking to change employers. He claims to be able to operate on both humans and a variety of animals, primarily horses, mules, oxen, and donkeys. However, he seems to have a habit with the bottle, as you could see when he managed to waste three-quarters of his pay on alcohol. He is also prone to insulting people in his native language, and while you cannot understand it, you do get the idea from the tone of his voice.
At present, you have 320 Reichthalers and 590 Greifs. with a rough exchange rate of one Reichsthalers to 1,40 Greifs
