Eidon

A Dreamer who calls himself a "Folder" — a man folded across time, appearing young despite being ancient. Eccentric and whimsical, he speaks in riddles about drawer soup and time as origami. The last Dreamer remaining in Drelmere after the rest of the sanctuary scattered or unravelled, Eidon reveals the crucial knowledge about the Shards of the Pattern, the First Map, and the Fold to Kaerlin and her siblings before unfolding completely in First Root Chamber beneath the town, returning to his true aged form and fading into the stone. His parting words inform every later understanding the Archive holds about how Shards behave — and why no one knows what happens when they are reunited.
