Townsfolk and travellers — Relationships

A resident's regard ranges from −100 to +100 and appears beneath their name during conversation.

• At 40 or higher, a friend greets you by name.
• At −40 or lower, an enemy refuses conversation.
• At −70 or lower, an armed enemy can attack outside town walls.

Regard gradually returns toward neutral. Conversation tone matters: politeness can offend someone who dislikes it. The chronicle's People page lists people you have met and your relationships.

Witnessed crimes damage relationships, and travellers carry news to other towns. Residents who die may eventually be replaced by newcomers.
