Humble Beginnings

Quill's Carriage of Lore is likely one of the oldest carriages that exist. When Menkh Quill left Tihr 600 years ago, he started out with nothing but a horse. It didn't take long before he realized that a horse with saddlebags wasn't enough, to properly store all the stories he wrote down.
Being a brilliant storyteller, Quill started to entertain and enthrall people with his stories wherever he came, earning him coin and renown. Eventually, he had enough to buy a worn down one-horse carriage, with just enough space for him to sleep and a small storage compartment for his books.

The Carriage

Quill quickly made a humble home out of the carriage. After several years, the carriage was getting worn down. He needed either to get a new one or thoroughly repair it. For Quill, the carriage was more than a simple wagon. It had served him well for several years, it was time to return the favor.
He spent most of the small fortune he had amassed over the years to completely redesign the carriage. For him, it was home, but not just that. It was a place that kept all his stories safe. It was a library.
Quill decided to turn it into both. He decorated the interior as a library, and built the exterior as a house, essentially making the carriage a small house on wheels.
The entrance to the carriage sat on the side, resembling the front door of a house, with two small windows next to it, on both sides. The roof was a triangular thatched roof with a small attic window sticking out of the side. From inside this was a small loft where he could sleep.
At the far end of the roof, there was a fake chimney, giving it a more homely look. From the inside, the chimney was an extra compartment for storage, as it was necessary to utilize as much space as possible.
One final touch was added to the outside next to the door. A small wooden sign with the words 'Quill's Carriage of Lore' burnt into it.

Quill's Carriage of Lore

Quill has traveled across many countries but always manage to find his way back to the villages he's visited before. Even if it's been a decade since his last visit, children and adults alike gather around with anticipation. All the villages have heard the tales of his amazing storytelling and his unique dwelling on wheels.
The carriage won't stop until it is at the center of the village, at which point Quill will emerge from the front door of his house, usually carrying a big book under one arm, and a stool in the other.
He always has a huge smile on his face, nodding to every single one in the crowd, while preparing his stool and book to tell a new and exciting fairytale from a faraway place.
Quill's Carriage of Lore stays for exactly one week, with many sessions of storytelling and poem reading. The villagers will also get a chance to tell their stories, taking pleasure in knowing that Quill will travel to other faraway places and share their stories there.

Ma! Pa! It's here! It's here!
Do you think we get to take a look inside?
