  Do you ever find that not much happens in the Jarl's dwellings? Well not any more, seven holds will now get their own unique jester at the beck and call of their Jarl. Every couple of hours the Jarl will issue a random command to their jester (between 10am and 8:30pm) to entertain them. They will ask them to tell a joke, give them permission to insult someone present or order them to dance. Some NPCs have other skills, for instance Rondelbert will recite funny poems and Jonzo has the gift of being able to mimic any voice. For insults, more than 40 vanilla followers have a chance to be insulted if they're with you.

  Two of the voices use Professional Voice Clones from Eleven Labs meaning the actors get paid for my use of their voices (Lutz Laugh and Marshall - Dandy Brit). Hurbjorf is voiced by my friend Yandros.

  Most of the jesters have their own little quirks too. Aperic likes to suddenly blow his horn and frighten people when they least expect it. He also likes to jam with Lurbuk when he visits the inn. Estelline likes to wind up the guards and Jonzo does killer impressions of other NPCs. It's also been rumoured that Gorthe likes to hit the Skooma.

  Each of them has their own joke repertoire and varied routines, some will visit the local inn after 9pm, or visit the temple in the morning before starting another day of working for the Jarl. The mod supports all vanilla Jarls, even the 'back up' Jarls that will take over from the losers in the Civil War.
