The truthteller

The oldest trees in The Quiet go along the path to the old cemetery. They were planted by our ancestors when they thought it would be used for generations. The path is lost now, nobody needs it.

Unless you are desperate or brave enough to meet the Truthteller. You'll find her there, walking around the tombs, and she'll give you one answer if you dare to ask the question.

But there is a price.

According to the legend, a female spirit lives in the Old Siourma grove.   If a single person ask her a question, she will answer with the truth. If several people enter the grove to ask about the same thing, she won’t show up. If they have differnt questions, only one of the answers will be true and how would they know who got a lie an who got a truth?   Those are the Truthteller’s rules. They say those who follow them, will never be seen again, but they will get their answer.
Other versions talk about leaving an offer in certain days, making the right sounds or keeping totally quiet, or befriending the old ghosts for protection from her. A few of the claims to have seen her and live to enjoy their answers, but they are accused of lying or it's assumed that they broke the rules.
