Octaviu and Horliss Lumanaru
Octaviu and Horliss Lumanaru are devoutly relgious, bordering on fantatical. They are constantly making the sign the of Vehira, and mumbling prayers. They dress in the simple, rust coloured clothes and conical hats of a sect of orthodox Unionists. The children are timid and will sit silently over their studies at the dining table, gawking wide-eyed at any visitors who come to the door.
Octaviu and Horliss Lumanaru are mostly inseperable, and will normally be found together in their home behind their shop, Lumanaru Candles & Soaps.
TOPIC: a cleansing liquid
If the characters inquire about the special liquid that has been used to sterlize the homes of the Im-habn and Gwynne households, they will be happy to promote an sell their product.
OCTAVIU LUMANARU
Praise be to Vehira who has revealed to us a tincture that will steel the faithful against vile visitation by P’ut-Pa-Guhk the Vomitous.
HORLISS LUMANARU
And praise be the Celestial Host who call the wicked, sparing the righteous to persist in purity.
OCTAVIU LUMANARU
Indeed - if thou art true servants of Our Mother the Watchful Eye, this blessed perfume will clean and cure your sores, and purify bilious excretions left behind by the corrupt.
HORLISS LUMANARU
The recipe given us by The Mother Goddess is costly and time-consuming to prepare. We are happy to provide it to the righteous, but must charge a fair price of five hundred silver for a dose. If you cannot afford, the Council has covered this cost in the past for the purpose of purifying the homes of the Gwynne and Im-habn families.
TOPIC: attack on Gavriela Nectria
If the characters ask about what the witnesses on the night of 12 Trowel when Gavriela Nectria was killed, they will share eveything they know.
HORLISS LUMANARU
The horror! Vehira save us!
OCTAVIU LUMANARU
Indeed - we heard the scream of the domnisoara Nectria on the night of the 12th. It awoke us with quite a fright. I rushed to see, while Horliss rushed to comfort the children (raises fingers to his eyes, making the sign of Vehira before continuing). I’m afraid she was already dead by the time I saw her there in the road. I did not myself witness any horror from beyond - though I doubt not the word of Sibel Crenliu, who speaks with the tongue of Iodrux. Mother Goddess bless us with your mercy.
