Hail fellow citizen! 'Tis Hamlet of Great Lakes, best known for standing atop pizza's in the Britain's Counselor Hall and the occassional wall sconce. In between, I aid ye at your request.

If ye have seen me, or heard of me, ye might be hearing one or two rumours about me hat. 'Tis rumoured to have mystical powers. I am here to dispel those rumours.

'Tis said it knows of many locations for houses in our Realm. 'Tis not true. Ye know the land better that either I or it, for I am nothing more than a ghost appearing magically from place to place. I, not me hat, might be able to tell if yer house can fit or not, but I assure ye, it isn't an exact science, and as ye well know, land is hard to find in the Realm. I, not me hat, can tell ye that ye can't place yer house in the lost lands. Ye know, it isn't even officially part of the Realm yet.

'Tis said me hat can give ye items like shinnies and the such. I assure ye, neither it nor I can.

'Tis said me hat makes me mortal, and ye can attack me with yer spells and weapons. Ye can try, but I assure ye, me hat and me robe are quite protective. And no, ye can't have me robe.

'Tis also rumoured that me hat makes me long for cookies. I assure ye, 'tis not me hat, 'tis all me. But alas, I can't eat cookies. I can't even eat the pizzas I stand on! *shakes head sadly*

I will tell ye this about me hat... it makes a nice sound when I bounce in to help ye, and when I bounce out when your questions or problems have been solved. And both me and me hat can tell ya, Counselor Hamlet will do his best to answer all yer questions when ye have them.
