Solren Thistlewick

Solren Thistlewick is a gnome bard who lives in a small pub in the middle of nowhere, centered at four crossways. Solren came to the pub on a long journey ages ago but got too tired and drunk and decided to stay. Armed with a small elf daggar and his handmade lute, Solren makes music for travelers at the pub in exchange for stories and silver, and maybe a free pint. His "tales of adventure" are actually made up, however, and how he got the dagger is a mystery, but if you asked him, he'd make up some wild story about slaying a dragon or whatever. In truth, Solren was a traveling bard who struggled to make payments and would travel from town to town hoping to fill his pockets. But all he'd usually get were a few coins, not enough to buy a small pub meal. But he doesn't mind. The Crossroads pub is his home now, and the owners have given up trying to get rid of him. Now he's part of their family. He likely got the daggar from an elf who liked his music and gave it in stead of coin. You can make up your own story anr character.
