Summary

Svim playing his lute and singing about a traveler's grand adventure.

Svim cannot rightly be called “lazy”, as he will stay up all night for a good song or tale—but he tires easily from any other exertion, be it mental or physical. Hence, if he’s not singing or recounting a story, he is almost always sleeping. His welcoming disposition and cheerful approach to life make him a pleasant companion, but it is difficult to carry on a logical conversation with him; every other word invariably reminds him of a tale, and he will often break into song in the middle of a sentence. This seeming flaw is, in fact, part of his design: he was created as a repository of folklore and other artistic creations, so he can’t be blamed for having a one-track mind. Infinitely superior to a written catalog, Svim can sing the song or tell the story back to you—and will, whether you like it or not. In addition to collecting (and recollecting) songs and stories, Svim considers it his personal duty to keep Rumbagh company and clings to the hope of, someday, persuading that worthy scholar to join him in a ballad.
