Matheo:
Ah, to meet a traveler in a place like this! I am Matheo, a scholar of folkish lore, dispatched from the Ivory Tower. These days I am reseaching the history of the Talking Island.
Can you believe that the structure you are looking at now was erected thousands of years ago? There are several similar relics like this around the island. They were erected in ancient times by Elves of light that lived on the Talking Island. I think this was where Elves enchanters paid tribute to the island's Spirit King.
