steward
I am a steward who is trusted by people. I know all the ways to get to other parts of the world. I have read many books.
A visitor, eh? From which lands are you visiting? Aye! I'm visitin' from the great frozen lands of th' Northshire! Northshire, really? I was just studying this map of Northshire. Here, look! Well ay'll be! Tha's a funny turn o' events ain't it? Are ye plannin' a trip? Not soon, no. I have traveled the lands many times over, though now as I grow older, I am resigned to reading more often than not. Do you like to read? As a matter o' fact, I mos' certin'ly do. Tha's mah name on th'cover! I'm visitin' yer beautiful country for mah next book. Oh, how fascinating! I would love to hear more of your travels and writing. I have read many books, but I am always excited to hear another's tale! I un'erstan' how bless't I am, gettin' t'travel. Not er'one can do such a thing, so I write aboot mah travels t'share with those who cain't. Not to boast, but I am well-known in these parts. If you would like me to make any introductions on your behalf, I would be happy to facilitate your travels here. Wha' luck! Let me star' takin' notes then! What d'ye suggest I see fairst? Well, the town's mayor is a personal friend of mine, and we enjoy a drink together now and again. A day's walk to the south lies Brickleberry, which is a fine place to see. I know several of that area's leading residents.  Yer friends wit' Lord Wilfried? Tha's a chap I'd cert'nly want to talk ta'!
