Auginford — Brickomer Melathorn, the Town Wizard
Brickomer Melathorn
When Brickomer Melathorn is in town, he occupies the back table at Lantern & Ledger beneath the hooded lamp. Notes, glass beads, and half-finished diagrams crowd around a cup of tea that has long gone cold.
Role: Auginford’s itinerant wizard and occasional consultant. Brickomer spends most of the year traveling between river settlements, but when he returns to town he stays at Lantern & Ledger and pays Yuhna in maps, translations, and favors.
Personality: courteous, distracted, and genuinely curious. He answers a direct question well, but always asks two questions in return.
Room: Brickomer keeps a permanent double room upstairs at Lantern & Ledger. One bed is used for sleeping; the other is covered with spellbooks, spare robes, ink, chalk, a travel kettle, and a locked case of wizard essentials. Yuhna keeps the room under his name even when he is away.
