A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter VII
There were a lot of shadows this close to twilight. Lamps twinkled in the Stronghold. A horse nickered from the corrals, was answered from the barn. Then a bray—Croaker sounding off. From the hills came the far-off _yip-yip-yip_ of a coyote.
