Overview

Skoivan is a middle-aged (85 and a half) halfling man who owns and operates a cereal farm where he mostly grows wheat, corn, barley, and hops.

History

He inherited the farm from his father, who inherited it from his father. At some point, about 15 years ago, he sold an arid piece of land to the Union Domestic. Griezmeehl Handarbijt moved in and they've been in a feud ever since.

Griezmeehl makes a lot of noise and often runs volatile experiments, scaring Skoivan's cattle as well as being a potential fire hazard for his crops. When talking to Griezmeehl he is friendly and apologetic.

Skoivan was briefly in training for becoming a Sentinel for the Coursers' Lodge, but didn't make it through the written exams. Because of this he has some basic combat and magic training.

Personality

He has a chronically grumpy demeanor and generally isn't fond of city dwellers like the Hubfolk.

Hobbies

Skoivan and his sons have a small-batch brewery where they brew various off-the-books moonshine, mainly whisky. His overindulgence has made him partially blind, so he don't see too good. He also enjoys chewing tobacco, and thus spits on the ground often.

Secrets

His half-elf wife left him after 6 years of marriage because she got a taste of luxury when a Union Domestic merchant came to town. Since then, Skoivan has a hatred for the Union, which fuels his feud with Griezmeehl.
