Egbert the Scholar was a mole who did not speak like most moles do, but spoke a far more normal dialect than traditional mole speech. His original name was Soilburr, but not wanting to live a rustic mole existence, he secretly moved into tunnels near Castle Floret in Southsward and changed his name. He spent his time learning by reading and writing scrolls in a secret room in Castle Floret. During the Battle of Southsward, using the healing skills he had learned, he healed Rab Streambattle and Muta. Not to be confused with Brother Egburt.
