Uncle’s Factor in Halwa — genial, middle-aged, a bit of a gut. Operates from Uncle’s estate near the docks.
What We Know
- Briefed the party on current Halwa developments: Fajan the Younger’s violent succession, Father Ignacio’s arrival and friction with the Uru clan, the harbormaster’s three new apprentices, and the herder’s report of squatters at Kraus’s Folly. (S4)
- Arranging a guide for the party’s desert travel — the guide wasn’t in town, so they’re waiting. (S4)
- Produced the guide, Mamud, the next day; Achmed paid for the expedition outright, supplies included. (S5)
- Forwarded Haroun’s written report on Kraus’s Folly to Uncle. (S5) — so Uncle now knows about the warp circle and the thing in the cellar.
- Briefed Haroun again on how Halwa had changed since his posting. (S5)
