Personal history

In the 50 years since the fall of the empire, Erendial has lost his way. It took several years to recover from his injury, and in that time, he watched things go from bad to worse. The skills he practiced for the empire for years atrophied, as he traveled from place to place, always looking over his shoulder, worried that those who tried to kill him were still looking for him. As time passed, and the Empire fully collapsed, he felt more free to move, and dedicated time to looking for his mother, who last he knew, made it out of Racine before the collapse. When he returned to the ancestral lands, he was barred entry, as his role in the collapse was known by the elves, but, they did confirm that his mother was not there.
 
The following decades were spent searching, looking for any sign of where she went. Eventually, luck shone upon him, and a lead directed him to a smaller port town, where he found his mother living with a human man, and pregnant. Despite the protests of her husband, Erendial came to stay with them for long periods of time. His mother seemed incapable of accepting that he was not the hero he once was, and that he played a prominent role in the collapse of the empire. In his eyes, her soul seemed lost.
 
When Elitheris was born, his mother seemed to come back to life in many ways, doting on the new baby, and Erendial started spending more time in the home, having taken a strong liking to his half-elven sister. He taught her the basics of swordplay, and encouraged her love of music. When their mother got sick, he would stay for longer visits, and when she passed, he stayed permanently.
 
During the post collapse years, Erendial could not escape reliving his memories of the coup. He started drinking more to escape, and when that didn’t help, started sleeping, like humans, instead of trancing like most elves. He still has nightmares, but they’re better than the guilt he relives through his own reveries.
 
On the anniversary of his mom’s death, and Eli’s 12th birthday, Erendial got into a huge argument with her father, over giving her a sword, and left the home, drunk, and booked passage on a ship, not even sure where it was headed. When he came too, more than a day later, he was shocked to see his sister with him on the ship…
