Erikir Edelsten

Early Life
Erikir was born in Testificas, Testificate Consortium to two Testificate farmers. Eight years after he was born the vampire of Carpe Noctum attacked Testificas, Severely wounding the Testificate King. After the king's passing the Verdant Tide annexed the Testificate Consortium and began demolishing Testificate houses and replacing them with houses for themselves. Having their home demolished, Erikir's family decided to seek shelter with a regional wizard. They begged him to change them to a different race; they couldn't stand being Testificats. The wizard refused such a plea. Instead he cast a spell on the family so that they may speak like eveyone else. With this the family changed their name to sound more like the people around them.

The Edelstens spent the next 17 years living on the outskirts of Reliqua. Fishing, farming, and sifting the river for gems for money. Erikir was assigned to selling the gems to the inner city markets of Reliqua. He met the king Moxerius Bloom and was invited to stay in Reliqua. His parents encourage him to take up this offer despite it would mean he would have to leave them behind. Erikir moved into Fateforge and set up Gem's n' Such to continue his parent's legacy.

Career
Erikir worked as the Master of Trade for Reliqua. Mox took note of Erikir's thriving business and decided to host; in traditional Reliquan fashion, a competition to see who would become the new Master of Trade. Erikir won this position in a landslide. But not so long after he would resign from his position to pursue his life mission.

Life Mission
After an encounter with zombies in the woods Erikir was forced to make camp for the night. He foraged for mushrooms he could eat. When he found and ate some he immediately felt the effects of his lack of foraging skills. He ate the wrong type of shrooms and was having visions of the future; he saw a reborn Testificate state that could once for all bring his people to prosperity.

When he returned to Reliqua he began scouting for the perfect spot to fund his new life mission. A city where all Testificates could thrive and be safe from the hostile world that had taken so much from them. He found the spot not far from Fateforge, a small gap between a mountain and the ocean would let the city more easily defend itself and have access to the trans-oceanic trade. Dubbing the green waters around the area as the Emerald Cape Erikir began construction of New Testificas and began work organizing the Emerald Cape Estates.
