== Overview ==<br />
Paisley, known as the Mad Merchant, is bound to the service of the Black Lotus by a curse or oath he no longer remembers. <br />
Death will not release him; attempts have been made, all failed. Instead, he wanders on, trading and scheming, blaming strangers and allies alike for his plight. <br />
<br />
== Role in the World ==<br />
* Acts as the **primary intractable NPC** for the server. <br />
* Found in a little-used corner of the [[The Sunken Drunk|Sunken Drunk]], waiting to be stumbled upon. <br />
* Provides goods, services, or information — though never without a price. <br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Paisley’s speech is fragmented and contradictory. <br />
* Blames random individuals (including unrelated NPCs) for his curse. <br />
* Speaks in riddles, half-truths, and sudden outbursts. <br />
* Alternates between desperate pleading and sharp cunning. <br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
His true master remains unknown. Whether even he could uncover the truth is uncertain. <br />
