Fire: Good questions!

Scyld has mentioned in sme posts his frustration at not being able to take on more important tasks relating to Sorn's scheming. Perhaps to make that more apparent, he could have some more menial duties?

His household would, because of his financial situation, be run on a 'skeleton staff'. Most likely one cook, one stable hand, perhaps some sort of cleaner? Someone Scyld helps out now and then. People have mentioned the house looks a little dilapidated, so he wouldn't have dozens of staff running about.

Of course, being Sorn, he wouldn't take a 'nice' way around keeping his servants quiet. Threats would probably work well, maybe also promises of a mighty reward - of course deals he won't keep.

Sorn really trusts no-one. So it would make sense he would have something in mind to keep his minion's silence.

I hope these answer your questions, and they fit in with the story Jenny . I'll try to work more of this into my future posts.
