Perceval Eiredor

Perceval Eiredor is a tall, well-built man whose noble bearing betrays his heritage. After spending his childhood training for noble courts and the knighthood, he strives to carry himself like one of the legendary knights popular in Taldan folklore. His shoulder-length blonde hair is so pale that it almost matches the whiteness of his cloak and armor. At his hip he carries an ornate, yet ancient longsword--a symbol of both his dedication to the Inheritor and her trust in him.

When he is not wearing his armor, Perceval prefers white garments with reddish accents in honor of his noble house--and can rarely be found without the golden dragon of House Eiredor making it's presence known.

## Personality

Warm and lighthearted with his friends while stern and unyielding with his foes, Perceval strives to be a chivalrous knight like one would find in an old Taldan folktale. His ideals, his values, and his honor are the three pillars by which he guides his actions--modeled upon the legends of old and the teachings of Iomedae. Others around him might rely on betrayal, lies, and deceit, but as a knight he must hold himself to a higher standard.

## Background

Perceval spent his childhood between Oppara, the City of Empire, and his family's estates in western Taldor. His early childhood was like many young nobles - raised by his family, tutored by a priest of Iomedae, and focused on the basics of both leadership and combat. Perceval took particularly well to Taldan folklore of knights and dragons, and spent a lot of time reading his tutor's book collection. Upon reaching his 7th year, he learned a truth regarding his birth. His parents had dedicated his soul to the Inheritor, and she had seen fit to bless him with a gift. Should he reach knighthood and continue to follow in her ideals, she left an ancient sword from the days of Aroden to guide his path. He left his home to serve as a page not long afterwards.

During his tenure as a page and continuing on into his years as a squire, Perceval continued to grow in both strength and character. However, the shadow of his family continued to loom over him. As a young scion of House Eiredor, he was expected to further the reputation and honor of his family wherever he went. While others might have the opportunity to run amok or enjoy a little havoc, an Eiredor needed to hold him or herself to a higher standard befitting their noble heritage. After several minor conflicts resulted in the loss of friends and fellow squires, Perceval could no longer bear to leave his fallen comrades to the clerics--feeling a deep compulsion to protect them himself. He would not lose another friend--not if he could help it.

When his tactical and combat training was finally complete, he prepared to spend the final steps of his preparation for knighthood in the traditional manner. Alone and unarmored, he conducted a prayer vigil in the chapel of Iomedae within his family lands--and it was during this vigil that he received both the promised sword and a vision from the Lady of Valor herself. Shortly afterward, he left Taldor on the first ship to Absalom--the center of the world and an appropriate place to seek the adventure and legend like the tales of old.

## Relationships

This section to be filled out as I remember to chronicle the people he meets and his opinions/relationship to them.

### House Eiredor

Perceval's Noble Family, hailing from Taldor, and the source of his Family Ties. The Eiredor family maintains it's own house knights, who shine on parade grounds and in competitions. Members of the family are sought after for marriage, as that is seen as an easy way to a prominent position in Taldor.
