The Barony of Rufo is less of a royal manor and more of a backwater hamlet. “Castle Rufo” is little more than a rotting wooden palisade on a hill overlooking a creek. Their chief export and most famous resource is their cria herds of llamas. They create llama cheese, knit llama wool garments and yarn, and the mid-summer Llama Festival is famous throughout the Trimarch.

The settlement is ruled by a retired knight, Sir Stevem Rufo, his five daughters, and his one son-in-law. Sir Stevem has only a dozen other part-time militia at his command, and his settlement and surrounding villages only number about three-hundred souls.

Rufo's blacksmith, owned and operated by Smitho the Dwarf, operates to make tools for the entire settlement with the little copper and iron they are able to trade for.
