Key Relations

Scouting

• Education and Learning: Ichabod has always been very good at finding and figuring things out. He excelled at this in his youth and was put to work as a scout by Scintilla.

• Tracking (Journeyman)
• Falconry (Apprentice): While by no means fluent in low-speech, Ichabod is capable of speaking/understanding simple conversations and giving commands.
• Horseback Riding (Journeyman)
• Cartography (Dabbler): Scintilla discouraged the use of writing, but Ichabod enjoys making simple (and sometimes very hard to understand) maps.

• Ichabod is good at blending into the background -- both figuratively and literally. His ability to be overlooked is often used to his advantage.
• Though he never managed to find one that suited him, Ichabod has worked with various scouting birds. He knows the basics of handling and feeding them.

Combat

• Education and Learning: The law of the land was conflict, leading all its people -- like Ichabod -- to learn how to defend themselves. Ichabod was actively trained in his adolescence, though gained little experience during his time in service.

• Archery (Apprentice)
• Hand-to-Hand (Journeyman)
• Feral (Journeyman)

• No one ever really focused on finding what Ichabod was good at, which means he never found out himself! D:
• Ichabod tends to become overwhelmed when he realizes he's losing a fight -- he goes a little super psycho.
