Story 70 The Piper Told By Tamliz Aree

~~~~ Conversation overheard in The Tapped Tankard Tavern not too long ago: ~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~ "Fair melodies such as the ones you describe haven't been heard here ~~~~
~~~~ since Trivaina the elf maiden danced as Reviln played his wonderful ~~~~
~~~ music on his lute. What became of the famous bard I haven't heard but, ~~~
~~~ he hasn't been seen this side of the Sword Sea since he lost his lute. ~~~
~~~ Seems he felt that lute was a part of him and hasn't been the same ever ~~
~ since. There have been rumors about as to what happened but I'm sure old Rev ~
~~~~ would give his Eye-Tooth to get it back, what ever might of happened ~~~~
~~ to it he can only tell. Some have even claimed Old Rav has locked himself ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ up in an abandoned building in this very city." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
