Edric Longe is a former military strategist to King Bertram, now a recluse. Stoic, weathered, and quietly brilliant. Edric lives on a vineyard near the cliffs of Delia, tending grapes and avoiding politics.
Once hailed as the architect of Thelidor’s border defenses, Edric fell from grace after refusing to support Bertram’s plan to preemptively strike Veloria. Disillusioned by the court’s thirst for power and betrayal, he renounced his titles and vanished from public life.
Edric keeps a hidden archive beneath his vineyard’s cellar—maps, letters, and war journals that about Bertram’s final years few know about. Rumors say he still receives secret visitors, and some believe King Liam may seek him out.
