The leader of the Town Gossips has long been Ethel Weaver, a 61 year old gnome female with a limitless supply of kitted scarves to clash with any piece of clothing. A retired botanist from Zephrah, Ethel spends her mornings feeding chickens and grooming horses, while the afternoons are spent with her friends at the Flour Shoppe, gathering the latest gossip. She uses this information to scold newcomers, right wrongs in the settlement, and generally mettle (mostly good naturedly) in townie’s lives.
