Volundy, The Homeless Astrologer
The skies are clear on this moonlit night, and the stars seem to be just so extra bright this fine night, as you wander down the little town’s cobblestone streets.
You come upon the tavern, with a few people either on their way back home, or just standing outside the building, dancing with one another in a drunken stupor, while at the same time holding a mug in one hand.
You maneuver your way past the few standing in your way to the door, until you reach said door and push it open. Inside, there’s not as much activity as you would have expected, but there are still a fair few inside to make the place crowded.
Walking past the various folks drinking their day stress away, and even sidestepping a speeding bartender carrying a tray of mugs and food, you spot a familiar face sitting alone in the middle of it all. Their sight upon you before your’s were on them, giving you a friendly smile and wave.
You approach the man’s table, before pulling out one of the chairs to sit on.
“Heh, happy to you on this fine night my friends!. There’s been rumors that a meteor shower would fly through the heavens tonight, but I've not seen a single one shoot past up above us for a few hours now, so it was probably just false rumors…” The Entertainer grumbled the last bit before taking a swig of ale, sounding a bit disappointed about not getting to see any shooting stars.
“...Buuut, now that we are talking about stars and what not, i’ve got a little tale to tell ya. About a lonely astrologer, wandering the world in search of something, which he himself doesn't know why he's searches for in the first place…”

Now, the Astrologer in question is called Volundy, the Homeless Astrologer.
Now, not much is known about him, other than he is one of those fancy eel dragons, the long bodied ones, not an actual eel dragon, and that he travels the world far and wide with the stars as his guide, and his words as his shield.
What little I could gather about his past, is far and few, and even those I could find turned out to be minor hogwash. Some of the stuff even says that he’s been around for a WHILE, claiming that he once was a mighty warrior, but then stepped away from the ‘path of violence’ or whatever ‘philosophical’ nonsense that was used to tell about the old him.
Nowadays, he just walks the globe, and teaches any aspiring star watchers that he may come across, showing them the various starformations, and even how to navigate their way via these glints in the skies.
Volundy, however, nevers stays too long in one place. He always flies off after a week to a month, telling the people he’s been with for that time that he needs to ‘Answer the call of the stars’ whatever that means, before wishing them well and saying his goodbyes.
From what else I've been told, he's also quite a wise man, go figure. Said to have helped a few talented wizards to better harness their powers, and even master them to a certain degree. And other accutens of him training young fighters from run of the mill ‘farm boys’ to ‘decently’ competent warriors.
You would think that people would think twice about picking a fight with him, but then you would be wrong. Volundy, if you haven’t been listening, is a pacifist. I mean, you can just walk up to him, and just beat his ass, and he won’t try and lift a finger to stop you. Even if you want to kill him, he won’t stop you physically, but he will try and talk reason to you, show you that violence is not the only way…
But let’s be honest here, if you were gonna get stabbed, wouldn’t you try and stab the stabber first, before they do you?. But I guess it's a matter of perspective or what have you…
Anyways, just to add a little bit of trivia about the guy, apparently he’s a great man to have with you at a campfire, knows a few good melodies and songs, which were apparently lost to time or some shit like that. Even knows how to make a good ass meal to…

“And that’s about all there is to this guy. He’s just an old friendly dragon that helps where he can, yet never truly intervenes in others affairs” He told you, waving his hand dismissively while looking away to take swig.
“Ahh… You know… if you find yourself lost one day, maybe you could go seek that astrologer and get some cryptic answer out of them for your predicament. Oh right, did i forget to tell that his another of those cryptic wisemen?. Well… Now you know!. Hahahaha!” He laughed while waving a hand towards the bartender to bring more ale.
“Haha,*Inhale* haaa… But anyways… Anything else you wanna hear about?”
