Sundered Lance - The Cast

A series played using Secrets & ShadowsThis post is published under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence.

Protagonist

I'm Jon Douglas, an author and freelance researcher specialising in local history and folklore. I have a pragmatic approach to my subject matter; folk magic is a sociological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. I find that people like me and offer to help me with things, which I like but sometimes wonder if I'm not too dependent on them. I've been called charming and it makes me uncomfortable enough that I wear non-prescription glasses and bulkier clothing to "dress down."
