About Edmund Fitzaltha

Edmund has grown up indoctrinated into the church of Erastil, devoting his life to the service of his god. As an infant Edmund was left on the steps of the church, his mother leaving a short note saying that she loved him very much but couldn’t condemn him to a life of misery as his father abandoned them as soon as she announced her pregnancy and she had no way to provide for an infant.

His childhood was filled with prayer and devotion to the church, providing for the poor and lending a hand to services wherever he could. In Edmunds off hours he often devoted himself to exercise and the pathetic attempt at weapon training with sticks of various sizes. One day after a particularly laughable training session during his fiftieth year Edmund was approached by Sean a local paladin who had heard of Edmunds situation and offered to teach him how to use a real weapon.

After training with Sean informally to the age of seventeen Edmund was accepted as a paladin’s apprentice to Jamil another brother of the order for further training. For eight years Edmund served under Jamil, and learned the path of righteousness until he was given his commission and status as a Paladin of Erastil and sent out to spread the word through honorable deeds and good works.
