Day 4's theme is "Charm". Here's Eleanor of Warwick, a merchant and widow who long ago made a deal with a demon to become extraordinarily wealthy. Recently she has come to the Severn Valley to investigate trade opportunities along the river. On the advice of her "patron", she has recently opened communications with the nearby covenant, realising their need for unusual supplies. Presumably her patron has other goals in mind - but so long as she profits, it matters little to her.
Though still charming, and cutting a handsome figure, she is getting on in years - by medieval standards - and the state of her soul is coming to mind for the first time in decades. She may seek a way out of the pact - ideally, without losing the life of luxury she has gained for herself.
