He turns into a volcano when around one, ready to erupt at the slightest poke. His grim mood also drives away companions.

The conditions were harsh, and labor constant. They were given starvation rationing, but maintained good health by secretly eating some of the owner's crops and vegetables they harvested, for their own survival against the High Elf slaveowners. 1448 ~ Another enslaved family finds a crate of 17 language, history, and government books that had fallen from a passing carriage. By the time they recovered it, the carriage was out of sight. As reading was the only thing any of the slaves could do in their little free time, Cedric received a rather spectacular education on each of the three subjects, rereading each many times for fun during long nights. He learned a way with words, and practiced socializing on Ned, a small bonsai tree outside the slave quarters. 1456 ~ Cedric's father is beaten to death when caught eating some harvested vegetables. The grief pushed Cedric further down, from his already bleak looking life. Cedric himself is lashed thrice on the back for his father's 'crimes.' 1457 ~ Days before the great flood of Anthos, the slaves begin an uprising, and break free of the clutches of the High Elf slaveowners. Cedric's family takes some of their harvested food and exits hastily to the Fringe to begin a new, free, honest life. 1458 ~ Cedric's family's hope for a new life simply shatters. They aren't wanted, and beg for food for several years, living on the streets and in makeshift tents. 1465 ~ The Eith'el's struggle continues through Thales. 1468 ~ The Eith'el family begins to give up, upon entering Athera. However, they still had a spark of hope for the new land... and it grew into a flame. The Eith'els were welcomed into Laureh'lin, and found a job and small, but nice, residence. They worked as free farmers, and Cedric receives a comprehensive education in known sciences, defensive combat and mathematics. 1478 ~ The Eith'els adopt an orphan newborn, who's father died days before the birth, and mother died during the birth. They name him Intec. A few years later, during the racial split, the Eith'els move to Leyulin, in which they currently reside. Cedric is still scarred by his childhood and vivid loss of his father. He swears revenge on the High Elves.
