💰 Meet Lemm: Hallownest's History Hoarder

In the rain-drenched City of Tears, one eccentric scholar preserves the past. Relic Seeker Lemm operates a cluttered antique shop near Fountain Square, accessible via elevator. This reclusive historian obsessively collects artifacts while muttering insights about Hallownest's glory days. Though he prefers relics over company, he'll generously reward explorers who bring him treasures.
