Cheerful Storyteller
"Once, in an age long lost to us, a wise dragon was said to live in the mountains of this land. It was able to speak the words of men, yet it wielded a mysterious power beyond that of any mortal.”; “If we are talking about ancient tales and yards, then I can be bested by no one.”
An elderly man who tells takes with song. Interestingly, none of the characters in his stories are evil, and even the monsters live happily ever after with everyone. Suffice it to say, he dreams of a world without conflict.
"Feast yer eyes on them beauties! Aren’t they the finest cows ye’ve ever seen? Why, even their poop is grand. Only the best manure comes out of my lovelies!”; “Can my bull join in, too…? Though not…”
Though he has cared for animals of all kinds, this man has come to favor cows most of all. There was a time when he once tried his hand at monster taming, but owing to the rather dubious circumstances of that failed endeavor, he would very much prefer not to talk about it.
"The seeds took to the soil an’ the crop’s a’growin’, thanks be to ye. It’s a root crop, so it don’t look like much, but come harvest time we’ll have a merry feast!”; “A scrap…? What…? With me…?”
Like many, this man lives off the land, tilling the soil and reaping the harvest. Every time he thinks of how his produce nourishes and sustains the people of Cobbleston, he cannot help but break into a dazzling smile, which never escapes the notice of those around him.
