Gitun

He always complains about the weather. It's never sunny enough, or there hasn't been enough rain; and when the weather is fine, he complains about children running through his crops. He forgets that as a child he did the same things, and that the weather will shift if you just have patience. - Nun, Fisher of the Malys

History

Gitun is a farmer who grows mostly potgrain, like his father before him. He has a large acreage which his family tends to, with help from others in the village. His wife is a good ale wife, and makes a few different type of beer from the grain the family grows.

Every autumn after the harvest Gitun makes a trip to the nearest Tabrani port, Aehe-Fafa, to sell a portion of his grain for goods the village does not produce itself. He is accompanied on these excursions by a few younger Malys looking to catch a taste of the urban spectacle of the sea-side town, with its tall buildings, cramped streets, markets, and ships. The trip is a local right of passage for the young men of the clan, and a few even choose to stay, finding work as day labourers, fishermen, or even sailors.
