Bom Foglecter

Bom Foglecter is one of the earliest folk heroes in Poorthwart mythology, and his story was considered old even in the earlier period of Earliest Days.

Origins
Nothing is known about the origins of Bom's tale, as it is so deeply enshrined in mystery. Some choose to believe that it contains vital clues about the unknown origin of Poorthwart, and the possible reasons for its limitation.

Traits
Given the age of the myth, there are numerous conflicting accounts of Bom's life and personality. The only characteristics that are all agreed upon is that he was "immediate and loud", and that he felt "justified but sad."

Death
It is likewise agreed that Bom died of a broken heart after realizing that his tail (he had no legs) had been split in two by some unknown force, and that as it now resembled fins, he was doomed to turn into a merman. He cast himself into the Sea of Ships, where - not yet complete in his transformation - he drowned.
