I have now been to the town hall several times now and there is no Thaddeus there. This guide for
example says Day 5 morning I go to town Hall and Thaddeus is there and has more dialogue, I went
there Day 5 now morning and no Thaddeus.
The guides you can find with Google search are all badly outdated and will lead you astray. Thaddeus is locked until you meet with him for the first time. The first week of the game, a huge amount of content is locked until you do certain things.
To gain access to thaddeus, spend time with Evelyn in the afternoon at home. The first time you do that, she sends you off to town hall to meet with Thaddeus and Aldred, which unlocks courage training, asking Thaddeus questions, and access to Aldred at the work site.
Then visit Aldred at the work site in the morning to get some money and to unlock your pathfinding skill, which enables you to hunt. Without that 1 point of pathfinding, you will never meet certain characters who live out in the wilderness.
Counterintuitively, training with Thaddeus the first time unlocks access to a weekly supply of money from Evelyn, which makes paying for training rather easier.
Out on the wilderness map, training with Erato (who you cannot meet without that point of pathfinding) unlocks a new wilderness area and she is your guide to meeting other forest dwellers and their quests.
The game becomes much less frustrating if, the first week, you focus on unlocking all this content, plus revealing 3 secrets so you can train up your magic skills with the Crone. My guide (linked on the first page of the thread) has a mini-walkthrough for the first few weeks of the game, along with help for virtually every place you can get stuck along the way. And unlike every online walkthrough, it is a) up to date, and b) doesn't just tell you how to replicate someone else's playthrough of the game.
