Eadric de Klerk

## Background

### Legacy Background

Having lived most of his life as a homesteader in the scattered islands of Bridge, Eadric de Klerk was by no fault of his own struck with wanderlust after a traveling merchant passed by his village and sold him a book of legends. The tome described the heartwenching tales of sailors who had failed to appease Nasha before embarking, it depicted the horrendous dragonturtle devouring entire crews in one bite... Everything a young Bruggian boy could only dream of being real.

As soon as he was old enough to take care of himself Eadric went to the nearby city's docks and got hired as deckhand on one of the local trade vessels. It didn't pay well, but he was happy to just be out on the great wide open. The excitement of seeing new lands was a thrill he'd never experienced before, and before he knew it he found himself on the doorstep of the Apostles' main headquarters with nothing but 5 silver coins and his lucky trinket.

Eadric proved himself a worthy apostle and was recruited into the guild. After years of scholarly education and combat training, he was finally sent away to Middle-land for his first real mission.

### Nellenial Background

After the events that lead up to his Rebirth as a Dragonborn, Eadric was fueled with a previously unseen vigor. His scales cooled to a more bronzen sheen and he found he had reserves of martial prowess that had been left untouched inside of him.

After locating the Spire of Attor, the new assignment sent by the guilds required the The Crimson Covenant to set sail west, toward the Nellenial Kingdom, in order to escort a dwarven genealogist-explorer back to his homeland. Excited to return to his homelands (albeit the northern parts he never visited), along with the excitement of being out on the open seas again, Eadric and the rest of the Covenant set off on a journey across the ocean that would take them months.

### Dwarven Kingdoms Background

Having been morally and personally conflicted for a long time after encountering the various draconic clans, Eadric decided to attempt to focus entirely on his faith. Neither the red nor black tribes seemed to align with Nasha quite like he had expected them to. Nonetheless, he and the Crimson Covenant decided to temporarily join ranks with the red clan and help them in their struggles.

Unfortunately, whilst clearing out their sacred birthing caves, Eadric fell to the blade of Runt, who turned out to be an Avatar of Hiero. With half the party dead, his old friend Jasper Blackwood had to choose between reviving Eadric or Naivarra. He forced a potion of reincarnation down Eadric's throat.

Upon rebirth, Eadric lost his scales and inner flame, shrinking abhorrently, turning into a twisted and dwarfed image of his former human self. Scarred yet, worse than before, he rose and embraced Jasper. Upon those mountains he broke his oaths to Nasha, deciding that She had failed to recognize him for the last time.

### Ash'kur Background

After years spent in the draconic jungles of the Misty Isles, hunting the scaled inhabitants in his quest for Nasha, Eadric was eventually called back into the Covenant's service by Jasper. Rumor had it the Stormqueen lurked the coast of Ash'kur, and so Eadric joined his old friend in the town of New Roford. Finding little to do while everyone else gathered and prepared for their next adventure, he went beneath the Pillar of Endrin and learned the art of gonoth smithing under the mentorship of Jasper.
