Cassius
Cassius was the keeper of the Meadspring Inn of Arashez, whose celebrated mead was said to come from a hidden spring somewhere in the hills - a secret he alone knew and guarded jealously from every rival and curious soul. Some weeks ago he vanished without a trace, leaving his replacement, Gregory, unable to find the spring as the inn’s stores run dry - and offering a rich reward to any who can locate it (and a richer one still to be sure Cassius never returns).
