Tal, Lowly of Dalleton: Difference between revisions

Tal was born in the forests of [[Prospit]], the only child to a lowly family. His parents, poor and destitute, raised him on the banks of the river north of [[Dalleton]]. They practiced no particular religion, so naturally neither did Tal. His hometown had no name and was barely more than a collection of huts, but Tal grew to love it all the same. He was always a swift learner, becoming adept in survival tactics, excelling in fishing, and reading anything he could get his hands on from a young age. Building came second nature to him, and as he grew he quickly helped his village do the same, rebuilding decrepit homes and passing on his knowledge to his neighbors.

As the peoples of Prospit began to arise from their relative obscurity, Tal found himself drawn to a man lowly like unto himself. Busterbean, the self-proclaimed Low Angler of Dallet, began gathering followers. He preached a strange but resonant doctrine, one of humility yet strength in lowliness. He taught that Dallet, the God of all things, rewarded the lowly with an eternal place in his Hallowed Depths. Tal, having been raised in an exceedingly small village, naturally was drawn towards this doctrine, especially as preached by this charismatic yet humble man. Among the first to join hisBusterbean's group, the Faithlow of Dallet, was Tal. He entered Bean's tutelage and learned under his wing for many years. The traits cultivated in his youth allowed him to swiftly become well-versed in the doctrine in the Faithlow and help others follow the Wisdom of the Deep.

He is considered one of the Three Lowly, leaders of the Faithlow and second only to the Low Angler.

After seeking out and receiving the religious texts of many towns of Prospit, Tal, ever the eager learner, decided to chronicle them in a library dedicated to the seeking out of all forms of knowledge. He decided to construct the Library of Dallet in a way that would be conducive to individual learning. With its study areas and vast collections of books, the Library of Dallet is a place of refuge for Tal and many other Dalletonians. Tal himself has spent countless hours engrossed in the Tributary, studying the Wisdom of the Deep as well as other religious texts. A passion project of hisTal's, the library is open to all who diligently seek to know more about the Faithlow of Dallet or any other topic, or to contribute to the knowledge base. The library is located on the southeast portion of Dalleton, to the east of the palace building.
