Background:
Eamon does not know the circumstaces of his own birth. He was raised by Lirrien, a swanmay in the wilds of Brevoy, a woman capable of transforming herself into a swan. Though not his mother, Lirrien raised Eamon like a son. She refused to speak about where he had come from save to say that he was destined for greatness. Eamon lived the life of a poor woodsman whose friends were brownies, gnomes and creatures of Faerie. As he grew to manhood, he became adept at the sword and bow.
He served two years as squire to Sir Helevorn, an elven knight errant of Kyonin who took Eamon under his wing as a favor to Lirrien. From Helevorn, Eamon learned dedication to Erastil, god of the hunt. Eamon assisted Helevorn in the knight's quest for a perfect rose, and helped the knight to win the rose from its guardian, a dryad. Before returning to Kyonin, Helevorn knighted Eamon, calling him the Knight of the Rose.
Now Sir Eamon rides forth to Brevoy to seek he knows not what.
Important People in Sir Eamon's life
Lirrien, Swanmay and Foster Mother
Barely an adult herself when she became Eamon's guardian, this lovely woman with the ability to take the shape of both human and swan lived in the Grozni forest along the Stetven river. She never told Eamon the truth of his heritage, raising him instead to know the woodsfolk and the ways of the fey. When he became a man, she gave him arms and armor, though she refused to say where she had gotten them. Now in early middle-age, Lirrien is still a friend to lost travelers and kind faeries in the deep woods.
Sir Helevorn, Elven Knight
A knight-errant of Kyonin, Sir Helevorn knew Lirrien of old and for her sake took Eamon along as his squire when he was old enough. All that Eamon knows of honor, religion, responsibility and manhood, he learned from this good but demanding knight. When Sir Helevorn returned to Kyonin after two years with Eamon, he knighted the young man in a solemn ceremony and gave Sir Eamon his own bow, a beautiful composite longbow of golden yew that is Eamon's most treasured possession.
