Eddard Sorayvium

Early Life
Born at the end of the Solemnity, Eddard was born to a southern mother and an unknown father. His mother, due to circumstance with his birth, refused to tell him the identity of his father feeling it would not change anything as he would not return. He grew up a bastard in the city of Zollverein however he did not receive a bastard's surname, taking "Sorayvium" from his mother. He survived in his early years off of brown stew which his mother had made as she couldn't afford more as a tavern-wench. His mother died when he was very young. When he got older an unknown lord payed for his blacksmiths apprentice fee so he could study and learn to become a blacksmith, which he learned under a man named Alfred Linoheart who was a master weaponsmith. He began to work on forging weapons for the army as well as for nobles. He learned his craft as a blacksmith, becoming a strong young man working the forge. He worked under Linoheart for 10 years.
