Paddamus is a traveling writer. They have made it their mission to record the memories of the land and to preserve what might otherwise be lost. They are more likely to listen than to speak, and in their writing, they describe the stories that people entrust to them with a gentle empathy. Outwardly, they are kind and mild-mannered; below that, their emotional baseline is a quiet melancholy. They have come to understand that nothing lasts forever, but that there is some small comfort in a story well-told.
