Eamon Hartley

Name: Eamon Hartley

Background: Bartender, Longbow Expert, and Brave Guardian

Description:

Eamon Hartley, the resilient bartender of Starry Woad, possesses a unique blend of skills and a courageous spirit that sets him apart. In the small, ancient village surrounded by the forested wilderness of Carrick's northwest, Eamon has mastered the art of crafting exquisite drinks (but still mostly pouring the good old local ale he brews himself) and serves as the heart and soul of the local tavern. However, behind the bar and among the villagers, Eamon's true passion lies in his expert marksmanship with the Longbow.

Born and raised in Starry Woad, Eamon grew up immersed in the village's ancient traditions and the lore of their cursed past. As a descendant of the survivor who witnessed the wrath of the storm, he inherited a deep sense of duty to protect his people from the looming threat of the sky falling upon them. While the village's Druid holds the key to averting this catastrophe through the sacred ritual, Eamon has taken it upon himself to safeguard the safety of his community in his own way.

In his free time, when not pouring drinks and engaging in lively conversations with patrons, Eamon retreats to a hidden corner of the village—a secluded spot where he hones his skills as a Longbow expert. With unyielding dedication, he practices his aim, perfects his technique, and meticulously maintains his equipment. His proficiency with the Longbow is well-known within the village, earning him respect and admiration as a formidable protector.

The remote location of Starry Woad, coupled with the dangers that lurk within the surrounding forests, has instilled a sense of vigilance in Eamon. He understands that the threats extend beyond the fabled curse and that the Witch Lord's soldiers, venturing into the nearby woods, could pose a danger to his home and its people. Eamon's commitment to his role as a guardian is unwavering, and he remains ever watchful, ready to defend the village from any encroaching peril.

Recently, when tragedy struck and the Druid was abducted, plunging the village into a crisis, Eamon's resolve was tested like never before. Fuelled by a potent mixture of loyalty, bravery, and a desire to see Starry Woad safe, he volunteered to join the group of villagers on the quest to rescue the kidnapped Druid. Recognizing his skills as a Longbow expert and his unwavering dedication, the village elders entrusted him with the crucial task of ensuring the party's protection throughout the perilous journey.

With his trusty Longbow, Eamon stands as a stalwart defender, his keen eye and steady hand ready to unleash swift and precise bolts when the need arises. Yet, behind his focused gaze and resolute demeanor, he remains a caring and compassionate bartender, always willing to lend an ear to the tales and woes of his fellow villagers.

As the villagers embark on their quest to save their beloved Druid and secure the future of Starry Woad, Eamon's dual roles as a bartender and Longbow expert converge, shaping him into a symbol of unwavering dedication, fortitude, and resilience. The fate of the village rests on his shoulders, and he will stop at nothing to fulfill his promise to protect his home, the people he serves, and the legacy of his ancestors.
