Thanks!

Her in-game name is The Lovely Fiona. I kid you not. Well, she's the Lovely Mona in Puritania, but she was the Lovely Fiona the first time I saw her in my first kingdom, and I liked that name better. She automatically spawns when you do the playwright quest. I'm pretty sure I made up the name Philaster,too. He had some other name, and I preferred Philaster.

Tarleton is one of my favorites and I play him in far too many quests. It's lucky that I like him, because Bards show up wherever there's a crowd, like the middle of the cathedral during a sermon or the doctor's office at 4 AM.

I thought I caught some of those Easter Eggs, but I have to know, is Bartholomew Fox supposed to be Kit Marlow?

Hee! Good eye! No, actually, he's supposed to be Ben Jonson (author of Bartholomew Fair and Volpone "The Fox.") I love Jonson, and he really is meaner than hell.

Maurice, who showed up in SC Ren 3, is supposed to be Marlowe:

"Those heroic plays where the hero stands right in the middle of the stage
and screams? Brilliant. I’m a huge fan.”--
“Collaboration? A bard of my stature, collaborate with you? Mix in trash with my heroic drama? I would rather be stabbed in the eye.”
Marlowe really was stabbed in the eye. I just saw his *Tamburlaine* for the first time about a month ago, and while it was a thrill to get to see it finally, it was no kidding almost nonstop screaming, plus there was so much blood on the floor that the actors had to stop and wipe it up periodically so that the next time there was a fight they wouldn't slip and kill themselves.

I am so lucky that my job still amuses me. Well, the job part of the job sometimes sucks, but getting to fool around with this stuff and get other people addicted is pure fun.
