Quest-giving village elder: Liam

Quest-giving village elder, weathered, urgent, and burdened with troubles

Prompt: A weathered, urgent male voice belonging to the village elder who always needs one more favor. His aged baritone is creaky at the edges but firm at the core, laced with genuine worry and the formality of someone raised on old oaths. He leans into quest-critical nouns—the mill, the amulet, the northern road—so no player can miss them, and seals every request with weary gratitude and a warning delivered half a tone lower.

Script: Thank the stones you've come, traveler. Wolves took the Miller's boy at dusk and the guard won't ride till morning. The lad hasn't got till morning. Follow the creek north, past the Split Oak and take this lantern. Whatever you see out there, do not let it go out.
