Leathery old woman

A leathery old woman, otherwise known as Villulia, is a NPC cobbler who works in The Cobbler's Cobby in Cysaegir. She is very knowledgable about leather and other materials used in the making of shoes, and can help aspiring cobblers with their work.

Description

Short and wiry, the woman is clearly advanced in years, but moves with a confidence and agility that belie her apparent age. Her crinkly, greying hair is pulled back in a tight bun, though a few wisps have escaped to frame her square-jawed face in a pale grey halo. Her hands are particularly remarkable, ever in motion and covered in tough, nut-brown skin that seems nearly as leathery as the countless hides they have tanned

Idle Scripts

• Peering into one of the deep vats, Villulia squints and mutters something to herself. She removes a metal pail from a nearby shelf and pours a generous dollop of midnight black liquid into the vat.

• A scrawny rat scuttles across the reddish dirt floor, detouring slightly to avoid colliding with the woman.

• Villulia deftly threads a cord through the edges of a small pelt and attaches it to a frame, twisting each loop tightly with her wiry hands.
