CITY FOLK ENCOUNTER TABLE
Once you have determined that your encounter is with a normal (or sometimes not so normal) occupant of the city, you must determine exactly who that encounter is with.
To use this table roll 1d20 to determine the Social Level (“SL”) of the person encountered and cross-index that against the result of a roll of 1d10 to determine the Hierarchy of the individual, meaning the “class” of that individual. Using those two results, cross-index them on the table below and you have your encounter.
encountered. If the encounter is a guard or constable (an entry of “C” or “G,” see below) the level is as per a standard guard or constable (see below and the City Folk Appendix) and is rolled according to those tables and descriptions.
Money Carried: This only applies to actual individual encounters. If the encounter is a guard or constable (an entry of “C” or “G,” see below) they carry only 1d6 gp each. Women encountered carry double the listed amount of money carried, though normally in the form of jewelry.
RACE
Though you may use human as the default race encountered, you may wish to randomly generate the race of the person or persons encountered. Refer to the Race tables later in this chapter.

ADDITIONAL ROLLS
Some results are special or require additional rolls. Those results are indicated in the table with asterisks after their entry and are detailed below.
Slaves: To determine their master, roll again on the table.
Villaine, Freemen and Citizens: To determine the exact occupation of these persons from the General Hierarchy, roll on the “General Hierarchy Occupations” Subtable.
Merchants: To determine the type of products the merchant sells, roll on the “Merchants” Subtable.
Guildsmen: To determine the exact occupation of any person encountered from the “Guildsmen” hierarchy (except Beggars), roll on the “Guildsmen” Subtable.
Beggars: Beggars are a rich source of local information and strange prophetic predictions and are handled separately. To determine the number of beggars encountered roll 1d4.
G: Indicates an encounter with a group of 2d6 City Guard or Garrison operating in their official capacity. This is to be distinguished from a result of SL 5 of the Military Hierarchy, which is “Guard/Garrison,” and indicates the person is encountered is a guard member but is not in his official capacity and is “off duty.” Consult the “Guards and Constables” section.
C: Indicates an encounter with a group of 2d6 City Constables. As with city guards, a “C” result is different than a result of SL 4 of the Gentlemen Hierarchy, which is “Constable” and indicates the person encountered is a constable but is not in his official capacity and is “off duty.” Consult the “Guards and Constables” section.
Companions: For every person encountered of SL 6 or above, they will be accompanied by a number of companions equal to their NPC Level Range. Thus, a Cavalryman will be accompanied by 1d12 companions,
while a Senator will be accompanied by 2d8 companions. Companions will be 1d6 SL ranks below their liege.
Nobles and Gentlemen will also have and equal number of bodyguards of appropriate level.

RACE
Once you have determined the type of City Folk encountered, you may wish to determine the race of the persons encountered. The following tables reflect the racial composition of the City State. If you do not wish to generate race, you may use a default of Alryan, a type of human. See the Player’s Guide to the Wilderlands for more details on the races of the Wilderlands. If you are not using that book, then simply default to “human.”

CITY FOLK
Several general categories exist that need to be discussed. The flavor of the City State is such that some explanation is required.
SLAVES
Slavery is simply considered a fact of life in the City State. It is considered neither good nor evil, though it does tend to draw the ire of certain people. Slaves are usually considered valuable assets that are expensive to feed and maintain, as such, they are usually treated well. Slaves tend to have backgrounds as common laborers, craftsmen, or guards, but more elite slaves with specialized skills are not unheard of.
FREEMEN
The bulk of the City State’s population consists of freemen, a classification that includes local or visiting merchants, laborers, craftsmen, and individuals practicing various trades. If one is not a slave, a noble, a knight, or a guardsman of some sort, then one is considered a freeman
NOBILITY
Nobles of the City-State have many backgrounds: some are wealthy merchants, some are country landowners keeping city quarters, some are diplomats from foreign lands and others are company of a Knight Banneret, and may eventually become one himself.
KNIGHTS
The knighthood is a relatively recent addition to the social and military political landscape. Knights encompass many different elements of the social spectrum. A knight might be anything from a wandering mercenary possessed of a horse and heavy armor to a local noble fulfilling his familial duty to the Overlord. All knights are bound to a complex code of ethics that deplores the use of magic spells of broad effect in warfare, encourages the taking of helpless captives prisoner for ransom and demands chivalrous service to the Ladies of the City State. Socially (though not necessarily martially), the lowest rank of knighthood is the Knight Errant. Knights Errant are wandering knights who may or may not be of noble birth. They adhere to the tenets of knightly behavior and chivalry, but they have no permanent lord. Instead, they swear fealty to a patron, in this case the Overlord. Once sworn, they serve loyally and seek promotion in the Overlord’s Inner Circle of Knights; in the rare case that a Knight-Errant chooses to leave, he must submit to the Overlord for the acts he must fulfill in order to leave service, usually an extensive campaign. A mounted soldier who is unsworn or does not subscribe to knightly codes of behavior may find service in the cavalry.
Most Knights Errant aspire to gain rank, favor and entrance to the Knights of the Inner Circle. Upon completion of their third campaign in the Overlord’s name, a Knight Errant may be promoted to Knight Bachelor and reassigned to a smaller unit. These promotions sometimes come about as a result of uncanny bravery or martial prowess on the battlefield. Knights Bachelor are usually assigned a squire and may petition the Overlord’s court for a grant of land. Knights Bachelor may also be nobles who have received a land grant from the Overlord; any noble grantee assumes this Knightly rank and obligation, regardless of military background. Thus, there is a great disparity in martial ability between the fighting men and nobility in this knightly rank. Upon promotion, a Knight Bachelor is assigned to the trouble. Generally, guards attempt to subdue persons they attempt to arrest with non-lethal damage unless the suspects use deadly force in return.
OCCUPATIONS AND MERCHANT WARES
GENERAL HIERARCHY OCCUPATIONS
If the person or persons encountered from the General Hierarchy on the City Folk Encountered Table , right, are villaines, freemen or citizens the Judge can determine the occupation of the person encountered using this table. First roll 1d6 for the occupation of the villaine, freeman or citizen. Then, using the appropriate die, determine the specific occupation.
GUILDSMEN OCCUPATIONS
All persons except beggars from the Guildsmen Hierarchy from the City Folk Encountered next page, have a trade. That trade can be determined using the following table. Not all trades a strong guild affiliation, having grown from barbarian ancestry. Those without solid guilds considered “tradesmen.”
MERCHANT WARES
Use this table to determine what types of particular merchant deals in. First, roll 2d6 to determine whether the merchant deals in Common, Rare Extraordinary goods. Then roll on the appropriate determine the specific type of goods.
