## Biography

### Early Childhood

Eredin was born in the realm of Allighara, a realm in the midst of a civil war. His family would end up on the losing side, the snow elven nation of Ulfe Alora. In his early life, his family was in near poverty. He never got any special or new things, so all of his possessions were from hand me downs from his older siblings and family. While it was a boring life, he was mostly sheltered from the raging civil war. His parents kept any knowledge of war away from him, and when his siblings were drafted to fight in the war, he was told, "They're off to college, I'm sure you will see them again!". He would not, as they all died in the war. At around 8 years old he was granted the necklace he is seen wearing even today, which contains a green crystal like object known as the perilyte which holds very odd properties.

### Meeting Alenia

At around age nine, Eredin starting going through school, where he met a girl his age named Alenia Tordove. Alenia was the child of a wealthy family, who used their wealth to support their side of the civil war. The two immediately became friends, and their friendship only grew as they aged.

## The End of Ulfe Alora

One day, Eredin entered Alenia's house and discovered that it had been ransacked by Kedorian soldiers. Alenia's mother and younger brother lay dead on the floor, and Alenia herself was nowhere to be found. One soldier remained at the house. After a short fight, Eredin used a sword found on Alenia's dresser to kill the Kedorian. After examining the body, Eredin discovered that the soldier was a Vice General in the Kedorian Army. Then, he had a second discovery. The sword he used to kill the officer showed magical properties. It resonated in his hands, it repelled blood from the surface of the blade, and green fire flashed out when he sheathed it into its scabbard. A note left near the blade revealed that the Sword was meant to be a gift for Eredin from Alenia, as a promise of friendship to eachother.

Eredin would never be the same. He left the house with new realizations, a magical sword, and a hatred for Kedoria. He made it his goal then forward to kill as many Kedorian soldiers as he could, put as the war raged on the snow elf population began to diminish. By the end of the war Ulfe Alora was completely conquered. He only knew that 3 other Snow Elves lived and escaped, he wasnt sure what was of his parents and Alenia, but he still held out hope that he would see one of his kind again. He escaped to the faraway land of Pyke, where he was followed by a battalion of Kedorian Dwarves, ready to end the Aloran Snow Elves once, and for all.

## Pyke

### Asger and Dezona

In a mad dash of an escape from Allighara, Eredin was running through the forests of pyke from the aforementioned Kedorians. He had ran for hours before he realized it would be his end, he would have to make a stand and take some with him to his grave. The snowy landscape of this tundra reminded him of home and he began to shed a tear, not at the thought of his death, but the thought of his mother, his three brothers and Alenia. He thought about the disappearance of his father, how leaving allighara meant there was likely no chance of seeing him again. He took stance, ready to fight. As the soldiers approached, in the blink of eye, there numbers where cut down by a third. The flowing red colors of his cloak and burning flames of his sword and aura overwhelmed the nipping of the cold forest, he began to feel warm from his presence. The other struck the Kedorian soldiers with solid black magic, lighting cast from her hands, she gave off no presence, whether it just be her own doing or the overwhelming warmth from the man. Eredin began to release his pent anger and passion through the perilyte and together the three of them crushed the kedorian forces. Just like that Eredin was safe. Eredin would come to learn their names after this fight; Asger D. Ironsides, the bearer of wills. He was a kind, humorous and down to earth human man, though he seemed far stronger than every other human Eredin had met. The woman, he would come to know as Dezona Blackheart, She was a Dark Elf, born into an upper class family. She took up a serious interest in magic and was seriously good at it. The three of them would begin to travel Pyke together, while trying to stay under the radar.

### A Nomad's Time

Eredin, Asger, and Dezona began to travel together the countryside, only stopping in self made camps and small towns. They're goal was to help people that needed it. During they're travels they all became really close, Asger and Eredin became best of friends, they held many of the same ideals. It was unknown to them at the time but eredin had far less control over his emotions.

### A Job Gone Wrong

During a particular job, one to obtain info for a revolutionary groups staged in a small town in western Pyke, it was Dezona's job to gather the info from a target while Eredin and Asger stood watch. One thing went to another, and guards where alerted. The job was supposed to be discreet so they had to leave, and on their way out Dezona struck a bolt of black lightning right to the head of the target. When they finally escaped a small militia of guards, Asger blew up at Dezona. It shocked Eredin, he had never seen Asger so angry before. It made sense however, Asger didn't kill in cold blood, it's how his clan was killed. Dezona began to yell back and tried Dragging Eredin into it. He was torn, "I am not one to pick sides, you two know that". Dezona yelled at him "Well this time you have to, Him or Me, Eredin, Pick!" The fight began to escalate and eventually they where at a stand off. However they all backed down, Eredin and Asger promised to stay friends but Dezona was already gone, so they all parted ways for the time.

### Pyke's Final moments

While most didn't know, the shattering of Pyke was right around the corner. At this time, Eredin was searching for Asger to meet again 4 years later. But as soon as he found Asger, he was in a stand off with Dezona. Eredin begged them to stop and then Pyke shattered.

## Agaroth

After the Shattering, Eredin and Asger both awoke, not to see each other for a long while, so they split paths for a long while. They both wondered about what happened to Dezona but one could only assume she made it as well.

### Caelenidium

Eredin began wandering the lands of this new land that would become known as Agaroth. He would eventually stumble across a floating island, where he would meet some of Asger's, and now his friends like Gustav II and Philomena Melaurum. Philomena was the leader of the nation they called Caelenidium, and they welcomed him with open arms. He became attached to these people, and vowed to himself that if he dies for anyone it'll be for them. He constructed a small in cave home in the south west of the island and eventually joined the Order of Radiance and became an Everbright Knight.

## Battle of Ideals, Duel of Fates

Eredin, living in Caelenidium was surrounded by a lot of wingfolk, and hence was friends with many of those he came across. He cherished them deep down, if even on the surface was kind of a cold face. But as countries began to grow in the lands of Agaroth, so did tensions. One of which was the Kingdom of Mrrgletar and their leader Luca. Eredin always was a man of beliefs and he believed in the equality of all races and destruction of... (WIP)

## New Horizons, and New Purpose

Eredin wandered the lands of Nehemia, learning of the terrains and it's people. One moment it was like any other adventure, and the next he felt the thud of something blunt and he blacked out. As he awoke, he felt cold, confused and more. He was surrounded by people who turned out to be sympathizers of the now deceased Luca the Frog's beliefs, the beat, battered and tortured Eredin to his limit, to near death. He broke from his binds in a sudden burst of adrenaline boosted by rage. He slaughtered the captors in seconds, it was something that not even he himself had witnessed before. Even with his captors dead, he was still on the verge of death. He began to wander more, looking for anyone or any town. He saw lights, a home? It was but he couldn't yell out for help. He hit the ground and faded out of conscious again

### A Fellow Adventurer, Freya Østre Wolf

As Eredin awoke, his eyes had to adjust to the light of the campfire he lay at. His memories and eyes foggy alike and he began to awaken from what felt like a days slumber. He glanced across the fire to see a person staring back at him. They made Eredin's heart beat just a bit faster, it's like his eyes had to re adjust once again to what he was looking at. They locked eyes for a solid minute before Eredin finally snapped out of it and asked where he was. The girl, who he would come to know as Freya Østre Wolf. They began to chat and he found that they where both wandering Nehemia, but for Freya it was to find a land to Construct a town that would be known as Østrefjeld. They chatted some more, talked of why Eredin was there, his wounds where even healed by her, which Eredin thanked her profusely for. They got along very well, and Eredin was eventually asked to join Freya in Constructing Østrefjeld, in which he happily accepted. Together they began to build the town from the ground up and built a bond together with it.

### Freya and Eredin, A Bond tough as Steel

It was a cool evening in Østrefjeld, the wind blew through trees, grass and Freya and Eredin's hairs alike. They had made good progress on the town, they had an office and a home to live in and where beginning the construction of a truly beautiful town. They had both been getting along well since the day they met. They're time through building and shared love of writing made this some of the happiest times for Eredin in particular. At this point they where definitely in the state that is considered a relationship. Eredin had been the happiest he had been in a long time with Freya. As they both watched the sun set over the hills of Nehemia, Freya came to Eredin with a question.

“Would you make this bond official in the eyes of the moon, Would you marry me?”

Eredin was lost for words, he was what felt like he was frozen in time. His whole world began to light up, and he began to shed a tear in the eyes of pure joy.

“Nothing would make me happier, Freya.”

It was official, they're bond would be made recognized by Lunari and Ariel. They waited no time in planning their wedding, and who would come. The whole process really let Eredin take in the choice he made, and how lucky he was to get to marry Freya.
