Brodert Quink is a local sage who lives in the town of Sandpoint.
Called "the Old Quirk" by most locals, Brodert appears as a balding elderly man with a long white beard and spectacles.
Due to his eccentric nature, he is quite a character around the town. Brodert's closest companion is Azonia; a large tabby named for an ancient Iskari empress.
No one questions that Brodert is extremely intelligent. He speaks a dozen languages, cavorts with elvish and dwarvish visitors, and spends most of his time in his home, going over his vast collections of scrolls and parchments.
For many years, Brodert served as a scholar in the Royal Archives at Wyn Falas, before moving here six years ago to study the ruins of the "Old Light" and the history of the region.
Brodert considers himself an expert in old Iskari lore, and loves to tell stories about the ancient Iskari Empire of Ikharos.
He has several controversial theories about both the Old Light and the lost Iskari Empire. Most other local sages strongly disagree with his theories; and because of his views, Brodert has become somewhat of a pariah.
