Clothier

Lore & Background

He was once the Old Man haunting the Dungeon entrance, a tragic figure cursed to guard the Dungeon entrance. His curse forced him to summon Skeletron to attack any player who spoke to him at night, rather than benevolently protecting the gate. When brave souls finally defeated that bone-bound terror, the curse binding him to his post was broken, allowing him to transition into a peaceful life as a merchant. This transformation represents a rare redemption arc within the world's inhabitants. No longer forced to summon monsters or guard a dark portal, he now serves travelers who have faced similar horrors. His cheerful demeanor suggests he has found peace in helping others prepare for their own journeys.

In Their Own Story

The lantern flickered as the traveler pushed open the door. Behind the counter stood a figure with pale green skin and a wide grin. 'Looking for something to wear?' he asked, gesturing to a rack of glowing capes. The adventurer nodded, tired from the dungeon's depths. 'Just need to look sharp,' they replied. The Clothier chuckled, handing over a shimmering hat. 'Then let us make you unforgettable.'
