==Biography==
===Early Life===
Edward Riley was born on May 28, 1996 in the city of Myrtle, in the Kingdom of Anglunia on Eldham. The father was a royal scout, while the mother ran a shop outside the city walls. The boy had a quiet childhood until, at the age of 9, his father mysteriously disappeared during a mission for the king. This fact threw the family into crisis, leading even Edward's mother to fall ill and, later, to pass away. At just 15, Edward had to learn to live on his own, finding small jobs around the kingdom and living in the few places he could stay for more than one night. In this period of constant movement, Edward learned to survive alone in the woods and to hone his steal techniques, as the jobs he found did not give him enough to live for. Joining bands of thieves he could survive with from time to time, Edward earned his nickname "Dark Star" as code name after being accepted in the "Oscyle Thieves Guild". On September 3, 2021, Edward woke up after a day of work, but in another completely different place.
===Rathnir Experience===
Awakened, Edward discovered that he had mysteriously ended up in Caelum Pass (X:3624 ; Z:1637), in the lands of Rathnir. At his side he found nothing but his equipment and a used summoning rune, meaning someone or something had summoned him to Rathnir. With many questions and not knowing where to go Edward began to travel, looking for someone who could help him while crossing the continents of Sparwood and Alteniquia. Reaching the nation of Yimmu-Audal, he saw an announcement made by AnonymousMan, offering Edward to go to live in the city of Skargness to reorganize himself. With no other possibilities Edward accepted, but his presence in the town was short as Emelyn H. contacted and advised the boy to reach the town of Calador as she could help Edward find a place to settle and maybe find some answers to why he was summoned in Rathnir. Edward decided to reach Solisios, making brief contact with the local community in Calador and Luxios to help them with various small jobs. In the meantime the boy tried to ask for help, but the inactivity of the locals once again forced the adventurer to seek help elsewhere, stumbling upon Loria City after various searches. Welcomed by Lukas Lordinger, Edward decided to settle in the city and join Tortuga, where he helped with the construction of a warehouse. With the local population that began to leave the city, Edward once again could not find anyone who could help him understand why he was in Rathnir. Now hopeless, Edward began to understand that he should postpone his request for help at a better time, once again starting to travel in the continent of Sparwood and Alteniquia in search of a stable location where he could create a life for himself in those foreign lands.
===Inside the Empire of Aldovir & Astyllea===
After days of research and travel, the 13th of September 2021 Edward stumbled upon the village of Talstadt, outside the city of Arstedanna. There he found the community led by Nopper Livelín síl Kair'vern and Talanthas s. Livelín (Azeari síl Livelín) who welcomed warmly the young adventurer within the Aldovir Empire. Ever since Edward kept helping the Empire to grow, building structures or helping to gather materials for the numerous buildings that were prepared, at the same time he kept exploring the world and knowing lots of interesting people, such as Aldara Ellan, Ellira Accero, Nico Nagaheart, Shaerelia Elernel-Levia, Elzaress and Vorian síl Katráthi. After being accepted in the high ranks of the state of Lapidovir and the Empire of Astyllea, reaching the rank of Verhalre ("Count" in Sagaviri language), he was later on accepted inside the city-state of Lirgal, where he met and he's meeting other more interesting people. After some months Edward was appointed as Verhalre of the region of Altís, but his disappearance for some months led the region to be taken by his friend Elrenn. In that time of disappearance, Edward had to face the reason why he was summoned in Rathnir and his long past.
===Revelation===
One day, while he was mining underground, Edward heard a voice in his mind that told him to reach a tower in the village of Talstadt. Curious, he traveled there and found a book with some notes, telling him to reach different places written on the book because there were other clues for explain what was going on. With a new adventure on the horizon, Edward began to travel, collecting the different notes while at the same time being ambushed by elemental monsters summoned by an unknown entity every time he found some notes in the various areas the notes told him to go. After composing all the notes, Edward found out that his long lost father had written those notes, and he was telling Edward to reach a new position up in the snowy mountain of Sironia, outside Asour'therak. Reached it, he fought and killed an Icy Wendigo, finding out that the creature was a fragment of his father's soul trapped in an elemental monster. With its last breaths, his father explained that he was killed during a mission for eliminate a vampire cult that was trying to summon an eldritch abomination for destroy the Sun and reign undisturbed in the darkness, while ignoring the fact that the abomination would even kill all life on the planet. When the father was killed, the teleportation rune summoned Edward to Rathnir, for try to end his mission. Telling Edward to reach the icy pass of Caelum, where the boy was summoned first in Rathnir, for destroy the vampire cult, the adventurer began his last travel and reached the vampire hideout. There he fought and defeated the night creatures before they were able to summon the eldritch abomination, ending his lost father's last mission and finally knowing why he was summoned in a different continent.
===A new life===
With so many questions put to rest, Edward emerged from the vampire hideout victorious but when he came back in Astyllea he found out that the entire empire crumbled on itself after Drach attempted a coup to the nation. With his home divided in different small countries, he took advantage of the situation for restart from zero his new life, joining Shaerelia Elernel-Levia in her nation of Carn for help her build and modernize it after Drach's coup. The 20th of May, 2022, Edward became the new Quellith of the city of Roscella, where he is currently residing for finish to build the city and trying to find finally a stable place to live in.
