Durgan Stonevein
The Bard Who Collected Songs Instead of Memories "Every road worth walking leaves blisters. Every song worth singing leaves scars."
About
Durgan Stonevein The Bard of a Thousand Roads Basic Information Race: Mountain Dwarf Age at Death: 137 Occupation: Bard, storyteller, explorer, collector of songs Education: Exceptionally well-traveled and self-educated. Fluent in several languages and surprisingly knowledgeable about history, folklore, and distant cultures. Beliefs Durgan believes the world is far too vast to be understood by any single person. He respects every culture he encounters, listens to every story he hears, and treats faith as another tale worth sharing around a fire. He often says that every god probably exists somewhere—it simply depends on which mountain you're standing on. Personality Durgan is impossible to ignore. He is loud, charismatic, endlessly curious, and always eager to share a story, a song, or a drink. He has an infectious laugh, an insatiable appetite for conversation, and a habit of treating strangers like lifelong friends. He possesses an adventurous spirit and a childlike wonder that never faded with age. Every unfamiliar face is simply another story waiting to be heard. Beneath his cheerful exterior, however, lies a man who dislikes silence more than he cares to admit. Whenever conversations grow too heavy or personal, he instinctively reaches for humor or music to lighten the mood. Strengths Charismatic and approachable Curious about people and cultures Wise through experience rather than scholarship Loyal to those he calls friends Finds joy even in difficult circumstances Flaws Durgan rarely stays in one place for long. He avoids dwelling on painful memories, preferring to drown sorrow beneath laughter, travel, and another good story. He has a habit of romanticizing the past and often refuses to acknowledge that even the greatest adventures eventually come to an end. Habits Hums while thinking. Gives affectionate nicknames to nearly everyone he meets. Collects songs before he collects names. Frequently interrupts stories to ask questions. Keeps countless small trinkets, remembering exactly where each one came from. Laughs loudly at his own jokes, whether anyone else does or not. How Others Remember Him Ask ten people about Durgan Stonevein, and you'll hear ten different stories. Some remember the dwarf who sang until sunrise. Others recall the traveler who could navigate any road by the stars alone. Children remember impossible tales of dragons and sea serpents. Innkeepers remember unpaid tabs and unforgettable evenings. Almost everyone remembers his laughter. Very few remember where he came from.
