[QUOTE="renau1g, post: 4128166, member: 54810"] Background: [sblock] Growing up in the Feywild was not an easy thing for any eladrin, with the constant threat of fomorians and other dangers of the fey darkness. Being the son of the ruling noble, the Bralani of Autumn Winds, wasn’t much easier. Riardon’s father bore the tremendous burden of protecting their city-state from the encroaching darkness. Due to the constant pressure and commitment required of his position, Riardon’s father was not able to spend the time with his son and the times they were together were awkward and cold. Riardon spent more time with the captain of the guard, Illtheil, and grew to look upon him as a father figure. For his part Illtheil relished the role as he had lost his wife and son during childbirth. They spent much time training in both martial weaponry and more scholastic topic, such as history and the natural world. Often, Riardon would sneak out of his home to travel on patrol with Illtheil. During these times Riardon was taught how to keep himself hidden, how to detect concealed threats, and how to utilize his inborn fey abilities to their utmost.
