    Kit
    Â 
    Each PC starts out with the clothes on their back, in a style typical of their region and status. Anything else must be exchanged for Golds from the amount they carry. This does not reduce their Game Points in Wealth, only what they have on them at the beginning of the game. At the start of the game you have a choice of three levels of kit, which must be appropriate to your people. A Stranger may carry one piece of armament appropriate to their culture per weight of gold spent, but it is incumbent on the GM to ensure that any PC bringing a magically rechargeable energy weapon gets buggered by trolls within a few turns. Otherwise -
1 Gold buys a set of basic travelling kit –
Aeg
Leathers, dagger, club.
Mund
Leathers, dagger, axe.
Hai
Leathers, sword.
Ythan
Leathers, crossbow.
Makea
Leathers, sword.
Oretes
Musket.
Vendjome
Musket.
Aprinia
Rifle.

2 Gold buys a superior set of travelling kit -
Aeg
Leathers, shield, dagger, axe.
Mund
Leathers, shield, dagger, sword.
Hai
Chain, shield, sword.
Ythan
Chain, dagger, musket.
Makea
Light plate, musket.
Oretes
Chain, musket.
Vendjome
Light plate musket.
Aprinia
Dagger, rifle.

3 Gold buys an excellent set of travelling kit -
Aeg
Light plate, dagger, axe, shield, longbow.
Mund
Full plate, shield, greatsword, longbow.
Hai
Full plate, shield, sword, crossbow.
Ythan
Chain, sword, musket.
Makea
Full plate, dagger, musket.
Oretes
Full plate, sword, musket.
Vendjome
Light plate, dagger, crossbow, musket.
Aprina
Sword, rifle.
    Don’t forget that wandering around the streets of an Aprinian city with a rifle and half a dozen bandoleers of ammo is going to get you arrested, fast. On the other hand, a highborn lady of Mund keeps a dagger with her at all times, even in the bath. This sort of thing may lead to cultural incompatibility.

    Retainers
    Â 
    Over the course of a game you might pick up any companion from a Vendjomois slave to a tame troll, but at the start you can only have retainers from your own people. The only exception is if you’re playing the Stranger, in which case you can take your pick but need to beware of the consequences of your choice.
    You may purchase retainers as follows –

    1 Gold gets you a basic retainer of 40 Game Points distributed according to their national characters -
