This is why we've tried t give an idea of what's going on in the background without player input needed. So a narrator can say "ok, a season passes, you take part in this, this, and this, and hear about these other things". Or, they can go into one or two in detail. Each campaign will have a different need for "down-time", and find different events of interest.

Not as such. I tink you may be the first to mention them explicitly.

Whitewall has a more intelligent/critial authorship and readership, perhaps?

No, that's one bit of casting we *have* sorted out. Broyan is played by Brian Blessed.
I agree that we have to have Orlando in there somewhere though. I don't think he suits any of the NPCs we've designed so far, does he?
None of the Ramriders. Roganvarth Penterestsson?
Or do we need to come up with a new part for Orlando? John wanted an alternative candidate for the leadership contest just after the Bat-Blat, maybe that's his role?
