<h3>Infiltrating the estate</h3>
<ul>
<li>The districts where nobles congregate are not normally so closed off. One can normally enter them rather normally, instead being stopped by guards if trying to enter the estate grounds themselves.</li>
<li>The fact that nobles have opted to close their district off means they view the current situation as unstable.</li>
<li>People can currently pass into the noble's district if they are one of the nobles. Head servants at their estates will also inform the guards of who is allowed to pass, this being in regards to work at the estates and mansions. For those who have worked there fore a while, the guards will recognize them, and thus let them pass. For new people, either the guards will have been informed of who they are beforehand, the person is given a written letter, signed by the head servant or a noble, allowing them access, or a servant known to be working at an estate/mansion is waiting for them to pick them.<ul>
<li>The same process goes for being allowed to enter the estate/mansion grounds, as guards will also be stationed here to do the same checks.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Noble Estate Staff:<ul>
<li><strong>House Steward / Estate Manager</strong> - top position among staff. Oversees the entirety of the operations, including staff management. Responsible for hiring.</li>
<li><strong>Head Butler:</strong> Responsible for day-to-day runnings of the household. Might handle the hiring of indoor staff, like footmen, maids, and junior butlers.</li>
<li><strong>Housekeeper</strong>: Typically responsible for the female staff in the household, a housekeeper might handle hiring maids, laundry staff, and other female servants.</li>
<li><strong>Groundskeeper</strong>: For outdoor staff, such as gardeners or stable hands, the head gardener or groundskeeper might be responsible for hiring.</li>
<li>Hiring Process:<ul>
<li><strong>Recruitment</strong>: Candidates might be sourced through recommendations, local advertisements, or employment agencies specializing in domestic staff.</li>
<li><strong>Interviews and Vetting</strong>: Senior household staff would interview candidates, possibly with input or final approval from the noble family, especially for positions closely interacting with them.</li>
<li><strong>Training and Integration</strong>: New hires would typically undergo a period of training and adjustment, overseen by the senior staff to ensure they understand their duties and the estate's protocols.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Other important people:<ul>
<li><strong>Griffon keeper:</strong> Probably cabalist.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Steward of Ravanelli's Etate: <strong>Berengar Lori. </strong>Man in his late 60s. Cabalist?<ul>
<li>Have him be Cabalist and have head Butler be promoted to steward if they all survive?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>.</li>
<li>Party can try to convince their way in, saying they are new hirings. They'd have to avoid Scillante though, as he'd recognize them.<ul>
<li>Cairne and Valiant are also at risk of standing out too much.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Getting Information from people who work there</h3>
<ul>
<li>Not all who work at the estate live there. Can do a Charisma check to look for people who work there in the city.</li>
<li>What they can possibly get out of them:<ul>
<li>Only the Duchess is at the estate at the moment. The rest of the family, i.e. the grandchildren, are in Vessina, trying to gather support for <i>Mariana Ravanelli's</i> (the duchess' eldest grandchild) claim to the throne.</li>
<li>They haven't seen her in months - saying she's ill. Most are forbidden to enter both the top floor and the basement area.</li>
<li>Lord Emmerin di Scillante spends much time at the estate, doing the day-to-day duties normally done by the duchess (i.e. he basically acts as regent).</li>
<li>There have been a lot of new faces over the past months. They haven't been too friendly, though they usually are allowed on the top floor or basement, though not all of them of course.</li>
<li>There have been times over the last few months where all the servants have been ordered to return to their quarters, and stay there for a while</li>
</ul>
</li>
