'''Oldion''' | '''Oldion''', a shrewd-looking merchant, can be found peddling his wares from the clamorous marketplace of [[Zanzibaar]]. Seemingly the owner of a majority of the stalls in this busy [[:Category:Islands|island]] bazaar, including one displaying exotic [[mounts]] as its merchandise, Oldion is a heavyset man bedecked with gold-accented attire; even his walking stick is of gold. | ||

A tangy and familiar smell emits from the wood, reminiscent of the jungles of the Zanzibaar island chain, where forests of nutmeg trees cover the land as far as the eye can see. The bowl is roughly circular, with a slight ellipse across one edge, and fits neatly in the palms of both hands. Although the exterior bark flakes off occasionally, this vessel will nevertheless provide many years of fine service. | ||
