Gallen Varro
Gallen Varro is the proprietor of The Rusted Crown , the village tavern.
He speaks with an accent no one can place.
Always wears fingerless gloves, even in summer.
Smells faintly of parchment and cloves.
Backstory (what’s known)
Claims to have once been a court historian, or maybe a spy—no two tales are the same. Was banished from “the court of seven mirrors” (a place no one can find on any map). Opened The Rusted Crown with a coin that still hums if you hold it long enough.
Why he stays
He watches. He records. He listens. And perhaps he guards something... a verse no one should read aloud.
Quirks
Gallen sometimes ends conversations with, “That version will do.” No one’s sure what he means by that.
Race: Human (but... maybe not entirely?)
Appearance: Late 50s, silver-streaked hair, one eye a milky blue.
