Stewardmen Troupe

== Overview ==
The Stewardmen Troupe are a group of Jesters unique to the Gryusch Wilds. According to one Watchman, they are quite numerous within Widerain, as it is their central location. Their unique look has their hair dyed a deep shade of purple, along with black face paint and a star tattoo over one eye. Occasionally these markings are reflected in tattoos, not just face paint.
== History ==
The Stewardmen's origins are unclear, though they likely have existed within Widerain for some time. The Lyceum of Stewardmen was constructed early in Widerain's history, and there have always been Jesters loyal to the crown within the city.
When the current King of Widerain set his sights on Catalya, one key aspect of the expeditions became charting the territory, which was becoming more and more difficult to accomplish with the failures of the expedition forces getting annihilated and traumatized by the chasm's environment. To ensure a more detailed map of Catalya was forged, The King's top agents within the Widerain Wardens were given access to the Easkym Pulse, notably his son Rust. With this Pulse, loyal Jesters of the Stewardmen Troupe were selected to become targets of the Pulse, allowing them safe viewing of the chasm from the safety of Widerain's mirrors. Of course, this meant that the affected Jesters needed to be sent along with the Watchmen sent into Catalya, leading most to untimely deaths.
Jesters were chosen due to Easkym's waning effects the more the affected laughs. It was seen as a logical choice at the time, though over time these inexperienced and frail Jesters were sent to their deaths in droves, and those who did manage return were never the same. Stare and Orchard managed to survive one particularly deep expedition right on the edge of Catalya's border with the Pilfering Depths, though it was mostly due to Stare's morbid laughter bringing him enough clarity to act effectively, and abandon the troupe once free.
