Grabling Froomchop

b. 81 (TMSK)

d. 173 (TMSK)

Well respected historian and author of the definative history of Battal, All of Rounders Kingdoms: From the Beginning.

Grabling began work at the age of 19 on the book that would become his life's work, a history of Battal which spanned all knowable history from the beginning. He travelled far and wide, learning many languages and unearthing documents thought long lost or forgotten. He compiled what would be the greatest authoritative tome of early Battal history. He received great acclaim by releasing early drafts of articles on certain periods and his fame spread, which lead other scholars and antiquities collectors to contact him, further increasing the comprehensive nature of the work.

Near the end of his life, Froomchop finally announced that the work was complete. It was so massive that it spanned 19 volumes each so large that it took two men to lift it. Only 14 copies of the tome were ever created, each commissioned by a different Royal Court of Battal. The copy belonging to King Ronard was kept in the Royal Summer Library in Glamis Blair Castle in Pizzlemoore. It is known that the reference work was still there in the time of The Elemenstor Cycle because Sierra Vanity pages through it when she goes to Pizzlemoore on an errand.

Notes

Grabling Froomchop is responsible for the naming of The Great Bore, the historical period that spans from -19,232 (TH) to 0. Anxious to finish his book, his life's work, and see it published before he died he summarized the most recent 20,000 years before his birth as being a period where "nothing really happened." Due to the thorough and well respected work that characterized the rest of the book, the academic community more or less accepted this summary and very little was recorded about this period for a good long while.
