History

 

Childhood:

 

Born as the first son of Erwyn Harwn and Arina Lintel and raised in a small hamlet in the furthest reaches of Northmarch. As a young child Edmure was rowdy and wild, often causing trouble within the homestead and thus receiving a bountiful of physical punishment from his father and grandfather known as Orvar “The Maimed”.

Young Edmure was known in his early ages for having frequent temper tantrums and  he would often be prone to hurting other children, even those older than him and his gift of violence had to be put under control.

 

 

His father started to practice swordsmanship with him to quell his anger and whenever he would not succeed with something his father would give him two choices, either he would have to take a dip in the water or he would receive a beating until he was bleeding, the second one being the more merciful compared to bathing in the frozen sea of Northmarch.

 

However, when he was twelve years old his father would pass away, bedridden after being sick for weeks. A weaklings death is what he told himself and not something worthy a man and thus thoughts of leaving Northmarch and making something more of his life began to spurn in his vivid young mind.

 

Teenage years:

As the young boy grew into his teenage years his malicious behaviour began to decrease as well as his temper tantrums began to fully vanish. His mother who was a very loving and kind person, never condoning the beatings that Edmure received tried her best to care for her children with the little aid she received from friends and family, and Edmure had to at a very young age become the man of the household.

 

 

At the age of fifteen Edmure was already a seasoned hunter and a large stoic figure in the small homestead and the immaturity and recklessness of his childhood was but a memory. During the spare times he had he would often be seen out by the coastline with his cousin and brother, sparring until the late hours when the wolves began to howl.

 

His knowledge of warfare grew with the teachings he received from his grandfather and combined with the skill of swordsmanship he would grow to be a decent commander of hunting parties and the rough patchwork militia that the hamlet would muster during times of danger, even at this young age he would be large and stoic with piercing eyes and a fairly long hair and a stubble had begun to shape itself into a small beard.

 

Days passed into months and months into years as he grew older and older, at his 18th nameday he made a promise to his grandfather to remain in the hamlet until his brother came of age, however barely  a year after he made this promise his grandfather whilst out walking in the forest as he would often do was struck in the leg by a trap to keep wild animals at bay, breaking his leg in two and during night a storm broke out, keeping all villages in the hamlet for three days and once the storm had settled they found Orvar in the forest, frozen to death and his corpse mauled and ravaged by animals.

 

 

He was given a burial and put to rest next to his son, later that day Edmure, Murdoc and Edwyn said his farewells to their family, friends and other kinsmen before beginning their long journey south towards the Heartlands of the Holy Orenian Empire.

 

Early adult life:

 

After a few months of travelling, Edmure, his brother Murdoc and his cousin Edwyn reached the grand city of Felsen, capitol of the Holy Orenian Empire, there shortly after their arrival all three were enlisted to the Chapter of the Lion by Ser Thire, immediatly travelling further south to Ard Ghorrock to install martial law into Vandoria, however not long after their arrival Ser Thire defected to the growing rebellion and Ser Gilneas Vivyayen was given command of the Chapter.

 

 

The Chapter instead established itself in Saltstone, under direct supervision from the Grand Knight, their ranks quickly surged and for his loyalty to the chapter after Ser Thire’s betrayal to Oren he was knighted and granted the title of Knight-Errant, but for reasons unknown Ser Gilneas vanished shortly after leaving the Chapter to fend on its own, its number quickly beginning to dwindle.

 

 

His cousin Edwyn transferred over to the Nauzican Brigade and shortly after recommended Edmure to Ser Michael Hightower, Edmure was granted a position as a Gentleman of the Nauzican Brigade and swore himself to the emperor and the Nauzicans.
