==Relationship to Template==
Edarial has been described as "a thoroughly broken Adarin." Like most Adarins he has a twin Zevi and an Aliya and a Nereus as parents, but his twin is male and he had no Veron to help raise him. He is close enough to his template baseline that his name contains a -dar rather than a -dan.
