Forwin of the Monster
In Their Time: The Middle Ages people would fight, to the death, over the smallest things, such as arguments over who ate the last piece of cheese, for giving someone the stink eye, or for asking if they farted.
But a person didn’t only have to worry about the neighbors they loved and loathed, one also had to worry about neighbors that could breeze into your village or castle with an army of their armored buddies who were all packing their favorite sword.
Our Weirdo: Forwin of the Monster.
Forwin was a sculptor. His mother constantly complained that he would never make any money making art all day, but as luck would have it one of the kings advisors saw what Forwin could do.
The rest is history. Forwin would go on to create the Moat Monster that would scare away any army from daring to approach their castle. And little did those wanna-be-invading armies know that the Moat Monster was nothing more than a ship adorned with Forwin’s scary art.
