I like this idea. Certainly beats the current hackish idea of putting a
guard "inside" the cleaning woman. (cf. Scorn and Navar libraries.)

It'd be neat if each city has an overall bias for/against certain
classes/races. E.g., Navar officials would dislike magicians, Wolfsburg
citizens would welcome thieves, etc.. Just a thought. This would be
reflected in access to buildings, aggressiveness of guards, and shop
prices, etc.. And perhaps the player can carry a "reputation" arch that
offsets this bias if the player has done good/bad deeds in that town.
