Personality
Belduhr is a bit of a talker. He enjoys hearing stories, sharing what he has heard, or even listening to the same story from a different people's perspective. His curiosity usually gets the better of him, and he sticks his nose where it isn't wanted or welcome. At the same time, whenever he begins working his mind blocks out what is around him. His focus entirely on the story, or setup and operation of the printing press.There has been several times when he has either been late to eat, or entirely forgotten to eat due to his severe focus on the task. Missed appointments are also common if not scheduled during days of rest. He has gotten better about keeping track of the day as he got older, but still occasionally misses meals and appointments.
Biography & Lore
Belduhr is the child of Ginnobel, and first child of Grimduhr Brighthand. His mother passed shortly after childbirth, and so the man raised him as he best could. Growing up in the scribe trade, his path was fairly quickly decided. Having spent time in the college of Elbion to learn languages and how to transcribe magical indexes, he has worked with the artisans to create font stamps to use in the printing press for each language he knows.This has been a process in itself, as languages other than dwarven tend to not be straight line. After several decades of work, and numerous rejections, he now has a mostly complete set of usable print font dies for each language.
