Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. -Edgar Allan Poe

Origin

The events that led to Edgar's conception were considered scandalous, and that affair cast a persistant shadow over much of his young life. The product of a union between a promising young Eladrin enchantress and a handsome young visitor- a musician attached to a visiting Human noble's retinue- Edgar's parents where harshly punished for allowing their affair to lead to pregnancy. It is considered socially acceptable in Eladrin society to take casual lovers from amoung human visitors, but for these liaisons to bear fruit is a significant taboo.

For this breach of protocol, Gilmerelin- still several months pregnant with Edgar- was exiled from Eladrin society. His father Vitario had caused a diplomatic incident and gained the ire of his influential lord. Vitario was dismissed from the nobleman's service, and was further punished by being blacklisted. He would never be able to find work as a minstrel again.

A couple years after Edgar's birth, Gilmerelin- lonely, despairing, and separated from her culture- left Vitario and their half-elven son. Vitario did not take this well. Gilmerelin and Vitario had originally bonded over music, and he found it impossible to play without thinking of her. Vitario, unable to make a living from music and unwilling to stir up the emotions that inevitably surfaced from playing, swore off the performing arts and devoted himself utterly to the arts of healing, of herbology, and studies of anatomy.

This soon led him into conflict with his son, as young Edgar showed evidence of burgeoning musical talent. This led to countless heated arguments over the years, with Edgar believing his father to be selfish and jealous of his son's potential. Vitario, on the other hand, couldn't deal with the memories evoked, and convinced himself that he was protecting his son from the same shattered dreams and fall from social grace that he had suffered as a minstrel.

Gilmerelin, despite her new life as a hermit, attempted to keep a watchful eye on her son, hidden at first. She became known as the Lady in the Forest by the children of the village, by protecting and eventually playing with them as the children- including Edgar- treated the forest as their playground.

Apon reaching adolescense, his mother suddenly came to him during his frequent trips to the forest. She told him he might never see her again, and to ask his father about her. His father was stunned to learn that she had been so near for so long, and confirmed Edgar's suspicions. The Lady in the Forest was his mother. Flush with yearning for the nuturing presence of this beautiful, otherworldly, and absent mother, Edgar's creative and musical talents were the natural outlet- much to his father's chagrin.

After some time, he found he could occasionally draw his mother out of hiding by practicing his music in the forest. His mother became his muse and the subject of much of his poetry, well composed poems of bittersweet yearning that most listeners describe as too depressing. Edgar feels that poetry is the best expressive vehicle for the sweet sorrow in his heart, but he never neglected his music. Music had always been the thing that his mother seemed to love best.

Edgar found his father, by now a successful and talented healer in a large village, shepherding him into learning to be an apprentice healer. He forced the boy to attend a medical seminar with him in the grand free city of Dorrin, the "Jewel of the Sacred Sea". The seminar, Sentients: Anatomy and Essential Care, was taught by House Astaria, leaders of Astrology, Divination and Medicine, at their great Medical College. The City-state of Dorrin was known as a great center of learning, with equality and free access to education core tenets of the Founders of Dorrin. The resentment that teenaged Edgar felt at being forced to learn medicine was quickly overtaken by his enchantment with the City and all the dreams that it seemed to embody.

After returning home, a plan began to form in the young man's mind.
