Edgar Emeric

Edgar Emeric was the only son of Ademar Emeric and Iriya, both of whom were revered amongst the people during The Dark Age. He was the third king of humankind, though only ruled for long enough to see his son succeed him, before he vanished entirely, telling nobody of his departure. As his mother had been a Sentinel, Edgar inherited some aspects of a demigod, such as prolonged life and the inability to fall sick, as well as enhanced control over magic.

Legend & Legacy
When his father passed on, Edgar assumed his throne and founded  The Order of Alveena  to honor his last request. He appointed himself as  Lord-Paladin  of the order, and set out to recruit those who would devote themselves to the goddess of law and justice's teachings. He travelled from town to town, recruiting those he believed worthy of the order.

Edgar was devoted to his goddess, yet had different aspirations to his father before him; his journeys left him wanting to explore the unexplored, and find places that had never been found before. He waited until his son Bermund Emeric came of age, before handing his title as King and Lord-Paladin down to him, then disappeared into the wilds without a word.

Legend says that during Edgar's travels he fought great beasts of the wood, sparred giants, and lived among centaurs. It is unknown how and if he ever died, though his wife was believed to have perished from the winter cold only two years after their depature. Bermund sent thirty men looking for his father nearly a decade after he had resigned and vanished, and it was that search that helped all of mankind discover just how much unclaimed land awaited them.

Quotes
''Edgar Emeric was not as dutiful as his father before him, but nor was he a fool to leave his kingdom in the hands of his son. His curiosities helped mankind discover there was far more out there than their little corner of the world.'' - Rowan to King Talfyr I
