## Early Life

### Life in Libertà

Edgar was born in the city of Libertà to unknown parents. He ventured throughout Rathnir and later became the helmsmen of a ship.

### The sinking of the Wellerman

One day, Edgar and the crew of the Wellerman were out sailing when a terrible storm hit, the waves splashed violently against the sides of the huge boat, almost as if the sea was a sentient being with a vengeance. Edgar was steering his boat, trying to regain control as his crewmates cried out, trying to get the water cleared off the ship. The wind whipped their hair aroiund, slapping them in the face painfully.

Edgar watched as a huge wave took out two of his crew. He was frozen; his crew just died in front of him and he could do nothing about it. He ran to the side of the ship anyhow, and looked over. They weren’t there, of course, already washed away with the brutal force of the waves.

 This was Edgar’s greatest mistake: he left the helm and wheel of the ship. The boat was out of control, not able to control itself without aid. The waves began ravaging the boat, throwing it around. Edgar and his remaining crew mate looked at each other in fear, thinking it was the end.

A great crash sounded, barely heard over the horribly loud thunder. It was the mast, falling onto the boat. The boat, now split in half, drifted apart with the remaining crewmate. Edgar, not wanting to lose anyone else, tried to use his power over the water to save his friend, but the weather was just too powerful. A huge wave then hit the piece of ship that Edgar was on, rendering him unconscious.

### Rescue by the Havalr

Feeling something nibbling on him, Edgar slowly opened his eyes. The sun instantly blinded him, and he brought his arm up to shield his eyes. Still feeling something gently chewing on his pant leg, he looked down to see his leg hanging in the water and a tropical fish looking for a snack. Quickly, he shooed the passive mob away from him. He looked around himself, and his memories had flooded in. His crew. They are dead. Edgar’s heart sunk in his chest as a great sadness filled his soul. Maybe if he had just stayed at the helm his friends could have survived. Or at least one of them. Edgar looked around himself again, and realized there was only the open ocean to be seen. He was alone in the middle of the ocean, on a piece of driftwood barely big enough to fit. He had no food, and the realization that he could die out here hit him hard.

A few long days had passed, and Edgar had given up. All of the rowing he did with a piece of wood he had found had done nothing to help him find land. His thirst was great, but he knew he couldn’t drink the seawater. He also couldn’t seem to catch any fish by hand, so his stomach remained empty. Soon, a boat could be seen in the distance. Edgar started hollering as loud as he could, waving his weak arms. He didn’t dare to stand, lest the wood break on him. The boat could be seen changing course, in his direction. He breathed a sigh of relief. He would be saved. He couldn’t care if it was an enemy, either. At least he would be off that damn makeshift raft. As Edgar awaited the boat to reach him, he fell unconscious from the lack of nutrion and the drop in adrenline. The boat pulled up next to him, and came to a stop. An anchor was thrown into the water, and a face peered down at him. The man reached down and yanked Edgar up into the boat.

A hours later, Edgar awoke with a shock, a man entered to see how Edgar was doing, and yelled "He's awake" when he noticed Edgar was awake. Then entered a slightly younger man. They asked him multiple questions, then the younger man, who introduced him as Evarn, told the other man, who introducted himself as Shiru, tog give them some privacy. He suggested to Edgar that he should stay with

They gave him food and water, then asked him "What is your name?". "Edgar" the young boy replied, "Where, where am I?" Edgar asked. "Your ship was caught in the storm... you... were the only survivor we found" Shiru responded Evarn asked Shiru to go back outside for a moment, and then suggested that Edgar stayed with Evarn on the Havalr until they finish their journey, he agreed, and stayed aboard as an unexpected passanger.

### Ahalian Life

Edgar would go on to join the nation of Ahalia and join the Valcove Family.
