If someone said there was a person killing and stripping bones, summoning skeletons in his jurisdiction, Fala would certainly not believe it, especially if they were claiming it was Old John. Fala had some impression of him - he was merely an unsociable, stubborn, disabled old man.
It was rumored that he had a peculiar hobby of collecting unnamed bones from the road and using them to fertilize his fields at home. The villagers found this bizarre, assuming he was killing and stripping bones.
But as a priest of the Church, Fala knew very well that there were different customs and many unique occupations in the world. In some countries, for instance, sanitation workers would also double as undertakers, wrapping up and transporting the dead found by the roadside or in people's homes to the graveyard or Chaotic Burial Mound.
In other places, people preferred beheading criminals, hence the emergence of two professions: the executioner and the Sewer of Bodies.
