Theodric was born in the great halls of the Daevin noble family. Sworn to House Medvyed, they were a family deeply rooted in the old ways, their castle sitting at the edge of the Gronzi fortress. Despite always having been fair rulers, they became enraveled in political maneuvers which led to uprisings in the village they oversee, the family falling victim to false accusations which coincided with other unfortunate events. The unruly mob eventually somehow became armed and organized. They layed siege to the castle and while defending themselves most of the Daevin family were slaughtered and the fortress was put to the torch.
Theodric was but a boy when his father called for the defense to the last man, but he instructed three to escape through secret tunnels that ran into the forest, Theodric, his mother and grandfather fled persecution taking refuge in the forest. Within the first month his mother had fallen ill, her will to live crushed by her grief and she passed away not long after. Theodric's grandfather ruled before his father and passed on lordship immediately when his son was old enough to take rule, giving him the freedom to spend extended periods of time in the wild where he felt most comfortable. He would spend the next decade teaching Theodric about living in the wild and the proper respect for nature, while still instructing himself how to conduct himself like nobility. Eventually he passed away of old age, Theodric intered him and took up his grandfather's blade and shield and moved west, leaving Brevoy behind altogether and heading towards the River Kingdoms.
The journey was dangerous and in a battle Theodric's blade broke, leaving him to fight with just a shield which would remain his primary weapon.
