Eason Ludlow

== Biography ==
=== Early Childhood (1014-1016) ===
The fifth child of Mancel Ludlow and Amarika Ludlow, Eason was born 12th Lover's Moon in 1011AE. At the time of his birth, he was the second heir to the Ludlow Accord. 
He spent most of his time between his mother and his older sister, Jennifer Ludlow prior to 1014AE. He loved the water and was constantly having to be kept a close watch on. A personal guard often accompanied him with the sole purpose of keeping a watchful eye due to the mischief he got into.
However, that personal guard was of no use in 1014AE when a shapeshifter kidnapped him after assuming the form of Jennifer - whom the shifter had just killed along with his mother. 
He was put in the care of the Daughter of the Sorrows (Magnolia Malabre), blissfully unaware of what exactly transpired. His hair was been dyed black to hide his identity. Eventually Rasheba Heartstone was able to retrieve him and reunite him with his family, his caregiver joining them. He and Magnolia had become close, with her practically adopting him. 
In 1015, Eason's older brother Casim abdicated his claim to lordship of the Ludlow Accord, making Eason the heir. 
Eason Ludlow was present at the Coronation of Queen Talia in 1016, although he was on a baby-leash as a rambunctious four-year-old. He had no real knowledge of the beginning of the Aradian Civil War. 
=== Childhood (1019-1027) ===
In 1019, Aunt Amayl Heartstone-Rodin died of old age at 79 on the 4th of Fool's Moon. Eason was 8 years old.
Eason was 9 years old in 1020. 20th of Lover's Moon, Richard Holdenhome and Eason's oldest sister Claire were wed. As a result, Houses Holdenhome and Klossner became part of the Accord. Magnolia Malabre gave birth to a bastard son, Silvestris Bay, on the 9th of Harvest Moon that same year. Although young, Eason recognized the spark between Magnolia and his father Mancel and suspected Silvestris was his half-brother. He doted on that baby and the two remained close as they grew up.
Eason was 11 years old in 1022 when Richard and Claire bore their first son on the 5th of Soldier's Moon, Owyn Holdenhome. Eason began squiring to his father about this time.
Eason was 13 years old in 1024 when Griff Holdenhome was born to Richard and Claire and Gwenaelle Vennet was born to Casim and Rivka Vennet. The Aradian Civil War came to an end that year too. 
1027, Eason was 16 years old when Warren Holdenhome was born to Richard and Claire.
1029, Eason was 18 years old when Dagan Vennet was born to Casim and Rivka.
1030, Eason was 19 years old when Agnes and Amara Holdenhome were born to Richard and Claire.
Eason was 20 years old in 1031 when Amarika Holmes (Amy) was born the bastard of Saki Dul-Sansiska and his sister Aimee Ludlow, 10th of Soldier's Moon.
Eason was 22 years old in 1033 when Richard and Claire had their daughter Magnolia Holdenhome, named for Magnolia Malabre, on 8th of Herald's Moon. That same year on the 12th of Drake's Moon, Eason's father Mancel Holdenhome sadly died. Eason became Lord Ludlow, the official ceremony taking place on the 18th of Drake's Moon.
=== Courting (1035) ===
In 1035, when Eason was 24 years old, Lyron Piers and Aegis Mabusa were wed on the 19th of Lady's Moon. 
Arianne Wildthorne, Val Blackthorne, and Talia Warthorne stopped by the Caybourne court while questing in the area. Eason was drawn to Talia - he knew her cousin Richard and liked the man, but Talia reminded him of both him and of his own late father. He said as much to her, stumbling to make it an actual compliment she might be able to accept. Served wi'her at Dunhammer, aye...trained wi'her when I were no older'n you--she came here, wi'her Graffin Morrigan, yonder tim'rous beastie i'the shadows there, y'see her? Were me, and her, an' Arianne Wildthorne 'erself leadin' us--thass when she 'ad this portrait made o' her...and thass the first time I saw yer granddaddy, as well. Were cos o' her we met! Y'owe yer life to the Princess, I say, lass!

=== Marriage and Fatherhood (1036-) ===
In 1036, Yarrow Holdenhome was born to Richard and Claire 3rd of Lover's Moon. Jason Lennon and Aimee Ludlow were wed on the 22nd of Lover's Moon. 
Eason married Talia Warthorne on the 21st of Lady's Moon in 1036, age 25. 
During the Magic Uprising in Caybourne, Talia went into labor shortly after hearing about Magnolia Malabre's death while she didn't know where Eason was and a day later on the 4th of Drake's Moon, she gave birth to Bedivere Ludlow. Eason showed up safely in time for the birth of his son. 
Richard died the same day Magnolia did. Eason took both his and Magnolia's deaths hard. He tried to be there for Silvestris as he had been there for him at Mancel's death, but the younger man seemed to have found solace in the arms of a lover. Eason struggled to connect with Silvestris after this point. 
In 1040, Lord Owyn Holdenhome was found beaten to death behind a bar on the 14th of Hunter's Moon. Eason had the issue investigated, but no suspect was named or any tangible evidence discovered. He tried to convince his sister Claire that her son's death hadn't been caused by some assassination attempt, that it was just a fluke, but she wouldn't have it. 
Also in 1040, while Eason was 29 years old, his and Talia's second child Joanna Ludlow was born on the 18th of Obscura's Moon. Only a couple of days later on the 22nd, the late Owyn Holdenhome's bastard daughter Xenovia Dul-Sansiska was born to his lover Mossa. 
In 1041, on the 22nd of Lady's Moon, Eason attended the wedding of Lord Griff Holdenhome and Rhynanywn Monmoth. A couple of months later, on the 24th of Hunter's Moon, he attended the wedding of his widowed sister Claire and her new husband Carndas Rodin. 
In 1042, when Eason was 31, Claire and Carndas had twins Millicent and Keyair Rodin on the 2nd of Fool's Moon. On the 10th of Drake's Moon, Griff and Rhynanywn had their first son and named him Mancel Holdenhome, heir to House Holdenhome. 
In 1043, when Eason was 33, his sister Aimee and her husband Jason Lennon had their first son Paris Lennon.
