BOOS
MYLLER
Boos Myller was a seventeenth century citizen of West Shanbar and one
of the last direct descendants of the infamous Flathead
family. This infamous socialite, philosopher, and toastmaster, was
the miller of the valley and owned the village's pawn shop. Unknown for
many years, the mill had been built upon a secret entrance to the Great
Underground Empire, which could only be reached through a trapdoor
which opened while the mill whell was revolving.
In
the days when the Valley of the Sparrows was full of fat cattle and
grain for as far as the eye could see, Boos was popular in
town
and people needed him. He used to sell a majority of his grain to
Pugney and make rye whiskey. But when the curse of Morphius descended and the valley became barren, Boos shamefully withdrew. As
the time went on, all he did was sit in the mill by the Northern River
and drink himself into a stupor. Unfortunately, while permanently
pickled, he frequently attempted to drive while intoxicated and thus
had his licence revoked. Regardless, he continued to transgress the
law, but not without continual mishaps. By Sand Day, Arch 15,
1642
GUE, Boos had already driven his pickup truck into the river for the
tenth time.
During these depressing days, Boos invented the traditional Shanbar
Toast, as well as published a book titled, "The Great
Underground Empire: Toasts."
In
the 1640s, after some tedious research and
exploring, the four IT&L partners (Rooper, Trembyle,
Canuk,
Moadikum) discovered the secret door beneath the Old Mill. In 1647 GUE,
the unknown Sweepstakes Winner gained entrance to the Great Underground
Empire via the same passage. Although in those days, the cellar's
doorway had been locked. This human had to obtain its keys, which had
somehow come into the possession of Boos Myller. When the miller was
heavily intoxicated, the Sweepstakes Winner asked him for his keys.
Thinking that this human was merely going to take his truck to purchase
more alcohol, Boos relinquished the keys. Not only did the taking away
of the keys allow entry into the Great Underground Empire, but it kept
another inebriated driver off the roads.
