Wait, is the reason you believe that each appearance of the Teller of Tales refers to a different beast the fact that each book he was mentioned in is de facto narrated by a different beast? That is no problem. Umfry simply does another layer of narration above the named narrators: Lord Brocktree and Loamhedge are stories within stories within a story. The outermost story is that of Umfry Spikkle the Teller of Tales. He narrates the stories of the two beasts who in turn narrate Lord Brocktree's and Loamhedge's main stories.
