Charon

Charon, in Greek mythology, is the ferryman of the dead. The souls of the deceased are brought to him by Hermes, and Charon ferries them across the river Acheron. He only accepts the dead which are buried or burned with the proper rites, and if they pay him an obolus (coin) for their passage. For that reason a corpse had always an obolus placed under the tongue. Those who cannot afford the passage, or are not admitted by Charon, are doomed to wander on the banks of the Styx for a hundred years.
Charon ferries the dead across the river Acheron not the river Styx.

Chardon

A small, conservative but close knit city perched on a hilltop about 30 miles from Cleveland. The maple syrup is great, and there's a plethora of pizza places, banks, and coffeeshops to choose from. High school kids drive large trucks, have many snow days, and many go on to attend Ohio University where they become even more awesome than they were before. Kids from Chardon will always have a soft spot for their little snowy town, even if they may consider it boring and never changing.
