Early Life[]

Born and raised in Falador as the first son of Varis, it was expected that Edward would inherit the throne and rule Asgarnia when his father passed, witht hat in mind, he was educated extensively in the ways of statecraft. Unusually, for a noble, he was barely taught any skills in fencing, so he filled that time with hunting in the forests of the Blackmarch. Later on, he was named Crown Prince of Asgarnia, the apparent heir to the throne.

Crown Prince of Asgarnia[]

Edward's new status brought him in contact with new friends and allies, notably Garlan Dayne. The two struck up an immediate friendship and a bond which would last him throughout his life,When the Blood Plague broke out in Burthorpe, Edward was transported south, to avoid the contagion which eventually spread to Falador. As it passed, it was revealed that Garlan had prepared documents and decreed which would bring a new dawn for Burthorpe. Garlan's reforms impressed Edward, but he had suspicion of the Burthorpe Constitution, a document which was signed very willingly by his father, seeing a new established Parliament, Edward aimed to become a member, and was for a short time, despite Parliament never had a single session.

The Darkness reveals itself.[]

Seemingly alone in the Salvian family home, Edward discovered a hidden room shrouded by magic, within it stood his father, worshipping the Empty Lord, Zaros. Varis offered Edward to join him, inviting him to take a strange crystal in his hand, which hummed with a dark power, Edward hesitantly accepted and Varis took him to the Adair Catacombs, which contained the undead husk of his late mother. Edward was appalled. When he parted with his father, Edward abandoned his Saradominist faith. it was a lie, a facade to cover the influence the Empty Lord had over the Salvian dynasty. Unknowingly to Varis, Edward refused to adopt the Zarosian faith.

The Passing King[]
