Quilliam Skil

It seems obvious to all that Senator Skil supports his lifestyle illicitly, but no one can ever peg how. He has passed exorbitant tariffs on the North Road, supported mining in supposed protected areas of the mountains, and created laws protecting indentured servitude. He seems largely interested in luxury, keeping the Red Army occupied somewhere else and reaping benefit without work.

The picture of excess, Quilliam is fat, lazy, shiftless, whiny, gaudy and garish. He once apologized only in saying, "My only sin was to have been born in the middle of nowhere." He is unconcerned with rumors connecting him with sexual deviance, female slavery, illegal mining, and payrolling pirates for personal gain. The Skillicorn family, with their red and yellow standard, seek to gain control of central Dalenden.
