Keeper of Stonebrook’s five roads
Edric calls Stonebrook a crown holding five roads together. Rowan Keep raises one square shoulder above the river mist, but the older River Oath still shapes what his authority owes to strangers.
Daily work
He weighs road repairs, caravan burdens, harbor access, watch strength, and the old wards as parts of one civic chain. A choice at the keep reaches the market scales, Lower Quay, and every household waiting on a safe return.
Why they matter
Edric gives Stonebrook’s crown a practical test. Rule matters here only when the roads remain useful, sworn promises remain visible, and the cost is not quietly passed to those with least room to carry it.
