hermit~
the hermit~
A Hermit, starved for company, is here.
~
Although raving mad, the hermit has come out of his isolation since he
has not spoken with anyone for ages. The shaggy hermit draws you over
and begins to tell a strange tale,
'Some 600 years ago, when I was but a lad, a great dragon
ruled the land. His name was Ancalador. Many heroes came
to do battle with him, but all failed and died, horribly,
I imagine. But one wizard challenged the Drake to a magic
duel. He too died, like the others, but with his last
breath, the wizard turned the mighty Ancalador to stone!
Many believed the dragon's evil reign ended, but after the
dancing and drinking were over, and life returned to its
quiet pace, the people began to notice that the Dragon's
presence could still be felt. Ancalador did, in fact,
continue to rule from his petrified prison through the
manipulation of the minds of men. Indeed, he has done so
to this day. Many believe he is plotting the day he can
return in the flesh, so to speak...'
With that the Hermit begins to cackle madly, tears running down his
leathery face.
You can get no more out of him.

reads, 'Memento Mori', or in the common tongue, 'Remember to Die.'

and small, violet flowers. The birds sing and you can make out a
