8/24/2023 0 Comments Pillars of eternity companionsA simple farmer from Gilded Vale wound up taking down the head of an ancient cult, learning the truth about the gods, and eventually deciding to take his life further. Traveling with the Watcher proved to be the adventure of his life. However, if his quest is completed, and depending on whether the Watcher reinforced his belief in the gods or encouraged him to find a new way in life, Edér either finds a new calling in Dyrford or strengthens his faith as an Eothasian. If Edér's personal quest is left unresolved and he therefore didn't find out the details about what happened to Woden, Edér grows disillusioned with his life in the Dyrwood and decides to journey over the ocean to Aedyr, to be with his parents. As the sole remaining worshipper of Eothas, he reasoned that was only a matter of time until Raedric's goons found an excuse to hoist him on the tree as the nineteenth victim of the Lord's madness.Įdér joins the Watcher, seeing an opportunity to help him learn the fate of Woden in the Saint's War. However, by the time the Watcher came to Gilded Vale, Edér's luck was running out. His luck held for a while, even as the tree in the courtyard of the former Eothasian temple in Gilded Vale filled with followers of the Splintered God. Edér's parents eventually grew concerned for their own safety and moved across the ocean to Aedyr, with Edér staying behind out of habit. The prejudice against Eothasians only intensified with time. Edér was saved from the noose by his war record and his headman's vouching for him, but the rumors planted a seed of doubt in his mind about the true loyalties of his brother. However, as the Hollowborn crisis intensified and the Purges of Eothasian followers began, rumors began to circulate that his brother actually fought for Readceras. Welcomed as a hero, he quickly found employment on a farm, with his former captain becoming his headman. Edér returned to Gilded Vale alongside his captain, trying to find solace after the experience of the war and loss of his brother. Edér continued to serve with distinction, right up to the 'Dyrwoodan Hello' at Halgot Citadel, when Waidwen found himself at the receiving end of the Godhammer bomb. And eventually perishing in the Third Battle of Clîaban Rilag. However, he wasn't aware that Woden wound up fighting for Readceras, turning away from Defiance Bay and marching to Readceras, enlisting with Waidwen's army. He did not believe Waidwen to be the true incarnation of Eothas because of his punishment of non-believers, more akin to a vengeful god like Skaen or Woedica than the god of light. A few months later, Edér decided that his brother might be right after all and followed his lead, enlisting with the Dyrwoodan army. Edér, in a fit of rage, had a major fight with his brother, flinging every horrid thing he could think of at him - and failing to convince him. Both his parents and Edér argued that he should remain with his people, rather than go to war against his own god. As he marched his armies down into Dyrwood, thereby starting the Saint's War, Woden decided to enlist, much to the chagrin of his family. Waidwen overthrew Readceras and turned it into a theocracy with him as the living incarnate of Eothas. Like their parents, he and Woden were devotees of Eothas for much of their early life, but this changed forever when St. Despite some occasional sibling rivalry with Woden, Edér by and large idolized his brother and looked up to him. The youngest son of two farmers, he grew up alongside his older brother, Woden. Though people tend to dismiss him as somewhat of a simpleton due to his appearance, background, and partiality to enjoying smoking whiteleaf, Edér often proves to surprisingly observant of his surroundings and rather well-articulated.Įdér hails from Gilded Vale, the little village out on Dyrwood's frontier. Expect no less from a veteran of the Saint's War. His scale armor, blade, and pipe are his most easily recognizable attributes - together with a laid-back, blackly humorous outlook on life. Edér is a 32 year old, broad man with straw-colored hair, a light beard and stands 6'2" (188 cm) tall.
