Well, my name is Oisean (when you say it, it sounds a bit like ‘ocean’) and I’m from Mossward..

I grew up there with my mother who, it may surprise you to learn, came from the Shire.  My father, who I never knew, was a bit of an adventurer, so they say.  He found his way to the Shire as a young hobbit, met my mammy, and whisked her off back to Swanfleet, where they were wed.

Soon after I was born he set off on his travels once more and we never saw him again.  So, my mammy brought me up on her own.  Even though she says I was a bit of a handful, she always tried to do her best by me.
