## *Background*

Emrik was born on Lauch waters on the sea while he was being sent to Aedwin, born as a slave. He got to grow up a bit until he had to start working but he wouldn't really work for long since his mother freed him from the enslavement. He had to live like a street kid however, robbing adults of their gold and food. His mother worked as a wench and eventually died on the streets quietly. Emrik struggled to survive the last two year of living in shit conditions and nearly starved himself to death.

Then Gibson came in and welcomed him into a life that changed Emrik's path for life. Gibsons position of being a Royal Guard to former King of Aedwin. He was generally liked by the people of Aedwin or atleast to his knowledge, He was. He was tasked with running errands for the kingdom but there weren't really many Emrik could do and being a mere young teenager. He always wanted to prove himself to his superiors.

Later as he grew, he was promoted to his first big role as a " Knight Of Aedwin " which he got his first unique helmet which he later ended up giving away to one of his fellow soldiers. Emrik would then for his admiration of this city go out and study again in Lauchette. He went to study war and writing. He also traveled to other nations to learn from their culture. Emrik later returned and helped out Aedwin, deciding to give up his knight title to save the diminishing Aedwin Army after the loss of General Cleon. After the King's withdrawing his post to the new King of Aedwin. King Ardvor decided to put some motion and attempt to help the Army out which was to make Aedwin get a new Commander to fix the situation with their army and of course protect the nation from other dangers.

All went well at first and Emrik was doing well at his job however the luck wasn't to last. Alot of things happened that led to the invasion that broke out. Emrik didn't even fully understand it. The final days, everything went down hill. Ardvor got assassinated and the city had to choose a new King which turned out to be Sanford. Emrik told his brave **brother in arms** that he would **protect** and **serve** by his **side**. Emrik went out to train in the woods for the upcoming battle, however he would get lost, losing his trace. Emrik hurried to try to get back into Aedwin but by then... It was *too late.*

#### ***After The War***

***Everyone*** he swore to protect had either **died** or decided to join Hallengard's forces. His father, brother and many of his soldiers were killed. Emrik was reponsible for these men and his promise. Just a few weeks ago, his father had told him how proud of him, he was. Now Emrik felt truly alone.

Emrik couldn't let his life end up in broken promises and sulking about how unfair life was. He decided to take action into his own hands. He formed a covenant for those who lives had been changed for the worse, for those people who wished to be redeemed by their past actions.

***The Crestfallen*** was for everyone who wished to be saved.
