Wren the Undying

**Wren the Undying**, formerly **of Hoth**, later called **Ædonn of the Lakes**, was a beachwalker and lost son of the Lady of the Lake who lived during the Age of Madness, the seventh age of Pydwell's history, and came to find himself intertwined in several extraordinary events that would shape Pydwell's future.

In the year 7:38, following an outbreak of frenzy in the town of Hoth and the death of his adoptive mother, Wren was driven from his home and into the wilds, where he stumbled across a cave housing the lost Rune of Space. Upon touching the rune, he was branded with the Mark of Twinn, granting him power over Space. The machinations of fate then made him cross paths with Ilona Hadra, Princess of Avarlell, on her quest to recover the Great Runes. Together, with halfling treasure hunter Dell Diggle and the pirate Frode an Shen, they went in search of the Rune of Space, only to discover the breeding caverns of the orcs, creations of the Dark Lord Morgott. Upon slaying the Demon of Pride watching over the orcs, Wren received a vision from his future self, telling him to seek the Treasure of An Harg, just as the realm of Avarlell was sacked by the Last Alliance.

With the other Rune Hunters and the aid of the Gesserit, Wren discovered that the lost treasure was a soulring containing an unknown number of dwarven souls, and with its power realized that the Rune of Space was bound to his own flesh. Betrayed by Ilona, who disappeared to reclaim the Rune of Knowledge, Wren was found and rescued by Sivard Aulfhedinn and subsequently joined his army against Morgott and his orc legions. Upon Morgott's defeat, Wren remained as Sivard's champion and friend, but was forced to betray him when Sivard became corrupted by the Rune of Darkness. During the Battle of Tir Draco, Wren witnessed the murdered Sivard's resurrection as the Dead King and was forced to drag him onto the Beach, where they were both trapped. Unable to die and locked in a timeless place, Wren became a guardian of mortal dreamers and an eternal foe for the Dead King, entering the nordling pantheon as **Saint Aedonn**.
