As a young gnome, Glimzig Berenfoodle was injured by a poorly thrown cold iron dagger. He and his parents had been traveling with other pilgrims to a shrine of Erastil when bandits attacked the group. Two families, including the Berenfoodles, made a stand in front of the shrine to protect it from desecration, while the other pilgrims scattered to find help. Not skilled combatants, the Berenfoodles were all wounded, and their blood mingled with the blood of the other defenders.
At the worst of the fighting, as the pilgrims were overcome, a pack of wolves entered the fray, some circling and keeping the bandits at bay, others dragging the wounded into the shrine and guarding them. One young wolf pup managed to drag Glimzig and another human child into a dark corner to hide them. When help came, including the cleric who tended the shrine, they found the place a mess of blood and fur.
The bandits driven off, the cleric set about to healing the wounded, but found that the wound in Glimzig's leg defied his powers. As a well-armed and well-dressed party entered the shrine in sharp formation, he announced that this wound had been touched by the divine, to add a blessing to a curse. The cleric received his second shock as he recognized the human boy; he was the youngest son of House Medyved.
House Medyved has great respect for the Wilde to begin with. This, added with their bravery and Erastil's blessing on the little gnome (the wolf pup never left Glimzig's side) caused them to take special note and watch over the Berenfoodles. The youngest son wanted them to be adopted into the family, but this was not deemed appropriate. Instead, they formally acknowledged a debt to the family, and arranged for their comfort and security, and education for their son.
Due to his physical disability, Glimzig focused more on academics and linguistics, since both disciplines allowed him to reach people and places his lameness would otherwise prevent.
When the time came for the Charter into the Greenbelt. the Medvyeds put forth Glimzig as their own candidate, confident that his skills would be useful, and that his appreciation for both civilization and the Wilde would help secure the interests of both as the Stolen lands were reclaimed.
