About (Vida): 

Thomas Broadpaunch is a Dominican in the last quarter of the thirteenth century. From around A.S. XXX, he was a fugitive friar who sought refuge in and enjoyed the hospitality of central Atlantia, first in Caer Mear (where he served as Poeta Atlantia and received his Laurel), then in Ponte Alto, and finally in Black Diamond. For the last decade, he has lived in a penitential hermitage in the wilderness of far western Black Diamond, from which he rarely ventures forth.
