Biography
Early Life
Edvard was born and raised in Nordengrad during the reign of Thoromir II Ruric as Earl of Nordengrad, he was trained in the art of all sorts of combat, most namely sword and horseback, as was traditional for any young Ruric to master. Edvard was greatly respected by his people, even at his young age, people knew Edvard would eventually rise to become King. Edvard flocked to Dunharrow when his cousin Alvar Ruric built up a new place for the Norlandic folk to reside, where he would reign as the Earl of Nordengrad, Edvard rather than serving directly under Nordengrad, sought out to aquire the position of Arch-Chancellor within the Empire of Man, and later the Empire of Renatus. Under the reign of Alvar Norland flourished. Although due to an unsuspected Reiver raid in Dunharrow, Alvar would slain whilst fighting alongside his men. Norland was in shambles as Edvard attempted to mend the relations between the seemingly uprising folk. After the first Kingsmoot electing Alvar II, there was major brawls in the streets as one side wanted Vangel to win, while the other respected their king and wanted him to remain on the throne. Although due to sickly health, Alvar II died of consumption. Leaving the direct rulership of Norland in question, it automatically went to a Kingsmoot, where Lyonel, Edvard, and Vangel would stand. The vote went in favor of Edvard having aquired five chieftians votes. Angered having not aquired the throne on his second attempt, Vangel sent a message to his reiver allies to raid the city, resulting in a major battle within the grand hall, resulting in the death of Vangel and a majority of the Reivers, this would be seen as solidification of Edvards right to rule, planning for his coronation to be held within the upcoming months. Marking the beginning of Edvard II reign.
