The people were beaten down from living there.<ref>The locals were a stark contrast to the upper crust types.  Their heads were bent slightly, their eyes averted from making any lingering contact with anyone around them, and they were dressed in dark, drab clothing.  The clothes were nice, really, without any loose threads or worn patches, but they still weren’t the sort of thing that was meant to draw attention to the wearer. - [https://twigserial.wordpress.com/2016/04/23 Excerpt] from [[In Sheep’s Clothing 10.12]]</ref> Having to [[The Block|give up]] their children to be made into monsters called the firstborn. A contingent of soldiers is stationed in Warrick, and their captain retained his position despite disgracing himself in [[Lugh]].<ref>There’s a man wearing two swords at his belt, a decorated military type, with hair in bad need of a trim.”<br>[...]<br>“There’s a contingent of soldiers stationed in Warrick,” Simon murmured, speaking without moving his misshapen lips.  “He leads them, and he led them in Lugh.  He didn’t do well there, and he came back at the same time as the Baron.”<br><br>“In disgrace?” I asked.  I got a slight nod. - [https://twigserial.wordpress.com/2016/04/26 Excerpt] from [[In Sheep’s Clothing 10.13]]</ref>

A Miss [[Ruth Bloxham]] did not live in Warrick but attended the Baron's wedding there.<ref>“Over there.  A woman in a silver-blue dress and the white-fur jacket, with a flowery blue decoration in her hair.  She’s not very old, but women twice her age are paying her special attention, <br>[...]<br>“That’s Ruth Bloxham,” Lainie said, standing on her toes to see.  “There are people in the aristocracy that really want to get an in with the nobility, even marry into the lower ranks.  She’s one of them.” <br>[...]<br>“There are families that have been working for generations to curry the favor and prestige that would get them an in with the Crown.  Then there’s Ruth.  She’s done it singlehandedly.  Since she was sixteen, she’s been connecting with the right people, earning and using favors to meet even more powerful people she can earn favors from… there’s at least one minor fashion trend and two musicians who owe their success to Ruth.”<br><br>“She wants to talk to Candida very badly.  I’m just not sure if she wants to because she’s a fantastically good actress who can hide her ill-intent from ''me'', and plans to sabotage Candida, or if it’s for genuine reasons.  Maybe she sees Candida as someone who can be a peer and a real friend.  A genuine non-threat, in a way, compared to people like Lainie’s cousins, who want to tear her down, and others, who are only stepping stones to better things?”<br><br>“When you started theorizing, the first place my mind went was if she pursued the Baron, once, and learned how dangerous he was,” Mary said.<br><br>“And her primary interest is to warn the fiancee?  That’s a dangerous game to be playing,” I said. - [https://twigserial.wordpress.com/2016/04/26 Excerpt] from [[In Sheep’s Clothing 10.13]]</ref>
