Strange Old Man

For other uses, see Old man (disambiguation).

The Strange Old Man, can be found digging in the Barrows mounds. During The Temple of Senntisten, he assists the player in recovering the icon guarded by the six brothers. He also sent a scroll containing The Fall of Six to Reldo, found in the Lores and Histories section. Occasionally players will receive a Crumbling tome when they talk to him. He can sell you a spade for 4 coins, which can be helpful for completing the Barrows activity if you forgot one.

Trivia

 * After having completed the quest Spirit of Summer, if a player talks to the Strange Old Man whilst wearing Jennica's ring then they will have a conversation with him, where he laments about Jennica, and begins talking about digging. This leads many to speculate that the Strange Old Man possibly knew Jennica, considering that she has been dead for many centuries, leading to speculation that he is Gargon. Another theory is that he is Sliske, as he resides in a place Sliske is known to have created. Additional reasons for this theory are that the Strange Old Man sent Reldo The Fall of Six, a lore about the Barrows brothers and Sliske, that he "delves" the shadows, and in The Temple at Senntisten he seems to know Azzanadra, and of course he would, since both of them are Mahjarrat.
