Eric Chesterfield

**Eric Chesterfield** is a recurring character in the Free Spirits series, first appearing in *Bridget's Calling* and later again in *Laurie's Liberation*, *Tessa's Vision* and *Sophie's Wisdom*. He and his wife Sarah live in Glen Hills, a posh suburb of Stallbrook, and when she becomes ill with liver cancer, the couple retains Bridget to have sex with him while Sarah watches and masturbates.

Eric arranges to find donors for Sarah's rare blood type from as far away as India, and accompanies her to Colorado for an experimental transplant procedure. By the events of *Laurie's Liberation*, Sarah has recovered from her liver transplant; the couple welcome Laurie Franklin and Tony Graham into their home until the crisis of Abbie Nolan pursuing Laurie is ended. Eric is compelled to leave to attend to business matters while Laurie and Tony are staying, and Sarah retains Bridget's services while he is away. By the events of *Tessa's Vision*, Sarah has died as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Eric has begun dating Bridget, who "semi-retires" from escorting.
Brethren of the Free Spirit

The **"Brethren of the Free Spirit"** was a lay Christian movement which flourished in Germany, France, the Low Countries, Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic) and northern Italy during the 13th to 15th centuries. Antinomian and individualist in their outlook, and pantheistic in theology, the Brethren came into conflict with the Roman Catholic Church, and Pope Clement V declared them heretical at the Council of Vienne (1311–1312). They were consequently persecuted by the temporal and spiritual authorities of the time.

In the Free Spirit series, Janella Pirtskhalaishvili's doctoral dissertation was on the Brethren, and inspired both her writing of *The Way of the Free Spirit* and the emergence of the modern Free Spirit Connection. The major differences between the two movements are listed in the table below:

Frankie MacMillan

**Detective Sergeant/Lieutenant Frances "Frankie" MacMillan** is a recurring character in the Free Spirits series, first appearing in *Bridget's Calling* and returning in *Laurie's Liberation* and *Sophie's Wisdom.* Originally, she was part of a team engaging in stings to arrest prostitutes in Stallbrook - including her partner Tom Antonelli and another detective named Arnie - but which repeatedly failed to arrest Bridget, who then turned the tables on MacMillan and negotiated a deal to become a confidential informant in exchange for the police turning a blind eye to her escorting. The information that Bridget provided MacMillan helped to advance her career, and she became the youngest Sergeant in the department's history. Bridget would later provide information about Will Gentile's abusive wife Marla, leading MacMillan to expose Marla's false accusations against him and have her committed to an out-of-state psychiatric hospital. By the events of *Laurie's Liberation*, MacMillan has been promoted to Lieutenant, and put in charge of the Major Case Unit of the Stallbrook Police Department. When the San Antonio police seek to find and arrest Abbie Nolan, MacMillan proposes allowing her to reach her destination at Stallbrook, where she and other officers can arrest her with minimal risk; the ploy works, and after MacMillan and another officer take Abbie into custody for extradition to San Antonio. In *Sophie's Wisdom*, she investigates the discovery of human remains at a parking garage, encased in a concrete pillar over twenty years before. With help from Sophie Giuliani and her staff at the University of Stallbrook's genetics lab, she is able to discover the identity of both the victim and her killer, and from there determine the course of events leading to the victim's death.

Tartar

> "*Mongolian cavalry archer mercenary.*"
> ― In-game description
>
>

The **Tartar** is a mercenary mounted archer in *Wars of Liberty*. It is a fierce mounted archer from Mongolia.

## Overview

The Tartar is the mercenary version of the Cavalry Archer. It has a high rate of fire and an impressive amount of hit points. It also has a very high melee armor and base damage. All these factors combined make it an extremely effective counter to cavalry, without having to worry about micro-managing them or kiting. Unlike most mercenary units, it takes the same amount of population space as its base unit; this allows it to be used even in the latest stages of the games without sacrificing military size, should it be available at the Tavern/Monastery.

She is married to an artist and part-time teacher named Dale, and they have two young children, Timmy and Rachel.
Entracte

**Entracte** is a part of the Sunday Celebration service which is unique to the Free Spirit Connection. Done between the reflection and announcements, the entracte involves the use of physical/bodily performance to express and emphasize the themes of the message (sermon or homily) delivered during the service.

Often the entracte uses interpretive dance, but mime and even magic acts have been performed.

Communion rooms

**Communion rooms** are private spaces in Free Spirit meetinghouses where individuals may engage in "covenanting" and "communion" with one another, including and especially sexual activity.

The tradition of providing these rooms comes from their founder, Janella, who offered the use of her guest room to students at a conservative college for this purpose. A typical layout is a lounge area for people to talk in private, a small bathroom, and a third room with a bed.

Free Spirits see any mutual endeavor done intentionally in the light of their core values (love, truth, peace, bliss) as a form of communion, including erotic intimacy. They also see the presence and usage of these rooms as an extension of the broader spiritual practice of hospitality; hence, while these rooms are most often associated with sexual activity, they are also used to provide space for private conversations, rest, or shelter for victims of disaster or domestic violence.
Hotel Garfield

The **Hotel Garfield** (or the **Garfield Inn** as originally mentioned in *Bridget's Calling*) is one of two hotels on Creston Street in Stallbrook, where sex workers can take their clients for sessions, reserving rooms either by the hour or an entire night.

Chief Graham

**Delbert "Del" Graham** is a supporting character in the Free Spirits series. He appears in *Peri's Bliss,* *Bridget's Calling*, *Laurie's Liberation,* *Adara's Apostasy*, *Tessa's Vision*, *Sophie's Widsom* and *Elsa's Revelations*, and is mentioned in *Hannah's Healing*, *Zoe's Quest* and *Moira's Covenant*.

Born and raised in Nashville, Graham went to college in Baltimore (where he met and befriended Lateshia Williams) and joined the Baltimore Police Department on graduation. After gaining many commendations and rising to the rank of Sergeant, he joined the New York Police Department, where he once again received several commendations and awards (including the Medal of Honor, Combat Cross and Medal for Valor) and rose to the rank of Captain, all while earning a Masters in Criminal Justice from John Jay College. He then moved to the smaller Bellefleur-Calais Police Department, rising to Deputy Chief, yet becoming entangled in politics when he exposed corruption in that department's anti-drug unit. This commitment to integrity and reform led Stallbrook's Mayor Allan Phillips to appoint him as that city's fifty-second Chief of Police, where he quickly engaged in rooting out corrupt cops and instituting numerous far-reaching reforms. His policies regarding sex work attracted criticism from conservatives and radical feminists, leading incoming Mayor Jack Oskanian to begin an investigation; the results showed that his policies were highly effective, and won support of the Stallbrook City Council by a two-thirds majority. During the 2023 municipal elections, the Committee for a Better Stallbrook runs ads critical of Graham, but these are countered by ads from another group; allegations of misconduct by a woman from New York City are investigated by Elsa Wahrheit, who exonerates him and uncovers the scheme behind this attempt at slander.

Graham is a forward-thinking leader who works to bring about "real justice, for everyone"; to that end, he is committed to community policing methods, a preference for negotiation over force, zero tolerance for corruption in his department, and support for harm-reduction approaches (e.g., the safe-injection facility at Stallbrook General Hospital). His nephew Tony later takes a job in Stallbrook, and starts a romantic relationship with Laurie Franklin; after Laurie's abusive ex-partner Abbie is arrested, the Chief has a private discussion with her about her change of identity, and his support for her actions reveals his willingness to put justice above strict enforcement of written laws.

The **Abolition Initiative** is a non-profit organization, financed by the Chase Action Fund of heiress Bridie Chase, promoting "end-demand" strategies towards eradicating prostitution and sex trafficking.

Some years later, Chase then finances Adara Khan, a graduate student and intern at L+B Consultants, to research Graham's policies of de-facto decriminalization with the hope of showing them to be a failure. This also backfired, as Khan concluded from the evidence that Graham's policies were in fact effective at increasing safety for sex workers while more effectively dealing with trafficking.
