Alwin is a Sickleman who travels from farm to farm to mow their fields of hay. He is a strong worker and though he is often hired by farmers across the land, he does have the reputation for never speaking. People often wonder if he can speak at all, but the truth is — he is listening and learning. You see, he has a plan: his aim is to one day enter into a riddling competition with the fairies... and to win.
