Major Ursa keeps a lighthouse on the island nearby.
The lighthouse where the characters begin the adventure is manned by a retired officer named Major Ursa. The major (LG male human veteran) is a huge, barrel-chested man with a bright red beard and a circlet of thin red-gray hair on his balding head. His usual garb is a gaudy red and yellow kilt with his warhammer and dagger hanging from a broad leather belt.
The major now lives, and enjoys, the solitary life of a lighthouse keeper. He is a respected member of the mariners' guild. If the major is attacked by the party, the local citizenry rallies to his defense. The mariners' guild quickly places a bounty on the party, and the adventurers become bunted criminals. The major does not have the guild's reward money or anything of value (other than food, drink, and nautical equipment) at the lighthouse.
Major Ursa is not a mercenary and will not spontaneously join [an adventure].
Major Ursa is a member of the mariners' guild. [2]
