So the Story Goes

Publisher's blurb: Years ago, the Storytellers kept the history of the Northlands, passing it along through story and song. They taught farmers to build, children to laugh, and leaders to rule. They reminded people of the failures of the past to insure the successes of the future. Then the Tyrant came, and they spoke against her. She retaliated. Eventually, the people of the Northlands rose up to defeat her, but the Storytellers had already been eradicated. Now that the world is rebuilt, a few brave souls have picked up lutes and pipes, becoming the next generation of Storytellers. You are one of them. Together, you’ll walk the old roads, recover the lost wisdom of your ancestors, and insure that another Tyrant will never rise again.
