     His parents abandoning him from the young age of 4 he would know little about them. Fortunately, the father and mother of the dad's side of the family would adopt the child as their own. At first it was out of sympathy due to the parent's guilt of their son leaving a child to die, but this sympathy soon turned to love. They felt revitalized with this young elf. As he grew up he came to call them "momma" and "papa." His memory was still to vague to realize that they were not his paternal and maternal parents- not that it would affect his love for his new parents. He lived well, growing up in a caring home with all the daily necessities for one to live a comfortable life. His papa began teaching him life skills at the age of eight. These skills would be taught to many other young boys in their adolescent years, as they were seen as a necessity to becoming a man. By age 15, Earendil was proficient enough at writing to where he could write letters to others -though there would still be a few noticeable errors. He was able to tie his own fishing line and bait, gather and chop firewood, sharpen a blade, and shoot a bow and arrow. He was no genius by any means, but he was indeed smart and had a great desire to learn and explore. Hungry for adventure and knowledge, at age 18, he would temporarily leave Talon’s Port, the place he and his family called home, in search of wisdom. His dagger sheathed and stitched onto a leather belt, a sturdy oaken bow, and various other supplies he might need 9’ this exciting adventure. For two years, the elf would explore nations as far north as the Kingdom of Norland and as far east as The Silver State of Haelun’or; attempting to speak to people of various races as he traveled. Occasionally getting into altercations with a variety of other races that he hadn't caused himself, but due to the fact that he was an elf. No one was ever hurt physically in these exchange of words. However, that doesn't mean some people's feelings got hurt. Earendil's return home was long. He missed his parents and most importantly he missed having someone to talk to. Family was everything to him after all. Before he turned 18 his parents had told him that they had not given birth to him. Rather, their son and his wife had housed and cared for him for four years before abandoning him and disappearing without a trace, and that is when they (the mother and the father of the son) had taken him in. He made an oath to himself that he would never abandon his family as they did. No matter the cost. After he had returned from his adventure, he continued his pursuit of knowledge along with the daily tasks of life. Life continued on this mostly uninteresting course until he met an elfess by the name of Kàsthinia. She was as beautiful as could be: auburn hair resembling the red hues of the sunrise, green eyes as bright as the gems that created them, and skin as a porcelain doll. Shortly after meeting her he said his goodbyes to his parents before parting with Kàsthinia and her family. Embarking on journey on her family's ship and raising a family with her. The family then separated from each other. Earendil frantically began to search for his family. Worried that his children or even his wife might forget or abandon him, as his parents had done to him. Many years would pass of searching before the elf would find traces of his family. Proving that they were still alive and well.
