John Vernik is a Breton farmer who lives in Leyawiin with his wife Lisa. They recently moved to the city and are looking for a place to live. After Greyland is cleared of bandits, they'll be allowed to buy the place and move there.

After they move into Greyland, John will wake up at 7am every day and go outside to work the field in the morning. He'll come in at noon to eat lunch; if the weather's nice, he'll go sit outside on the bench for a couple of hours, then sweep the yard. If it's raining, he'll sit inside and read a book for the afternoon. In any case, he returns inside when it gets dark (9pm) and spends a couple of hours chatting with his wife before they go to bed at 11pm.

He wears a coarse linen shirt, sack cloth pants, and clogs, and carries a broom, a hoe, three pieces of cornbread, three apples, two bottles of cheap wine, and a copy of Five Songs of King Wulfharth.

When you find him, he'll be overjoyed to hear about a place to live: "It would be great to have a new farm. If Greyland has enough land then we could harvest food for sale. They say it is good land, but... But it is unsafe there. There are bandits, just this morning there was talk about several thugs living there. They say this is a hideout for skooma dealers. If the farm were cleared, if someone was to kill the bandits, then my wife and I could start rebuilding the farm. And we also need a little money. A small loan, to buy seeds, tools, boards. A thousand septims, no more. If all this happens, then we are ready." When you check on them later, things are going swimmingly: "This is a new life, Greyland is a wonderful place. We have already purchased everything we need in Leyawiin, and we are waiting for the first harvest. And when we sell it, we can rebuild everything here. This will be a wonderful farm! How grateful we are to you! Be sure to visit us in a month. We will treat you to lunch and our new cider!" Of course, this only lasts for a short time: "We thought it was safe here! You promised! But we were threatened, they want to kill both me and my wife. This is... This is outrageous! You must take action immediately. After all, I pay taxes!"
