Hermit’s Hearth
Added 2025-09-28 22:24:31 +0000 UTCThe old hermit of the woods never was one for company. He lives simply, quietly, and with independence.
His pigsty gave him his winter's meat, the rivers near his house give him his summer fish, the forest his firewood, and he wants for nothing.
Despite his aversion to people, he knows well the treachery of the woods, and is not opposed to taking travellers in for the night. While tranquil by day, the woods claim the unwary in the dead of night. While not much for conversation, his gruff hospitality is well known to the few travellers in the region.
If one was to take refuge in his home, one would see the creature of habit enthralled in his routine and chores, done so methodically as to give the impression that this is his daily life. Such an old creature, chopping wood with the same vigor as a youthful lumberjack, skillfully descaling the fish caught earlier that day, prepping his cauldron for a stew. And out of sheer generosity, one could expect to share that stew with the hermit, although few if any words would be exchanged over the meal.
Despite his tendencies, meeting him is a boon to all he takes in.
