Navon du Sandau

Navon du Sandau is a noble of the Kingdom of the Isles. He is found at Kenting Rush.

Background
He is a suitor of Ugyne, the daughter of Count Geoffrey Corvalis. However it seems that he is more interested in the Count's Keep and Cavall Run, the tunnels under the great hall, maps, her father's fortune, schedules and acquaintances. These questions annoy the Count, and asked from the High Priest of the Temple of Kahooli to punish him, claiming that he brought "harm" to him and his family.

Chapter 1/2
He is met by Locklear/James in Kenting Rush, and he expresses his surprise that peopel from Prince Arutha's court know these places. The party explains that they travel from LaMut to Romney for a trading appointment; Navon warns them that he heard about a displute between the Riverpullers and the Glazer's Guild there, and that possibly the Guild of Assassins is rumored to have some involvement, but hopes that they will come to a peaceful resolution. He is also surprised to see an elf by these lands, especially heavily armored, and he is told that "Thorgath" trades in armor, and will negotiate a new trading deal of elven good in the Eastern Kingdom; Thorgath seemed familiar to Navon, but the elf denied that they ever met.
 * Count Corvalis (after asking the Count about Navon)
 * Asked about why Corvalis dislikes him, Navon says that he is overprotective to his daughter, and also doesn't like being asked too many questions. He implies, and later confirms, that the Count has associations to the Nighthawks: assassins in civilian clothes work for him, guarding his house, lands and Cavall Keep, even following him and Ugyne everywhere. The civilians tolerate it as long as nobody is killed.


 * Chess (after talking with Ivan Skaald)
 * Navon is told that Skaald praises his skills, and Navon says that Ivan also is "not too terrible himself". The party asks to be taught the "Sandau's Retreat" move. Navon says that it kept him undefeated for several years and can't just give it away, but accepts for 200 sovereigns. Navon then displays the moves with some stones on a makeshift drawn board on the ground, saying it is effective against an aggressive opponent.
