EDEL GWRTHEYRN
12/09/1086 to 19/04/1124

Edel was the sole heiress of an upper class family and while her family did not have as large of a fortune as the nobility like the Mancini’s and Abernathy’s, she still was rich because her ancestor was one of Fai the Conqueror’s soldiers and after he became king, all of the soldiers were awarded a large fortune as thanks.

Her parents had her late and consequently died of old age when Edel was only 36. Having no concept of how to handle her money, Edel did whatever she wanted, attending parties and shows and gambling at the casinos. It was at a party where she saw Valroya Mancini, who was attracting quite a bit of attention and completely enjoying it. She was not interested in him, but a friend of hers introduced her to him anyways and even though she did not really like his personality, she still thought he was attractive and ended up going home with him. They spent the night together and when Edel woke up in Valroya’s house, she left while he was still asleep because she was embarrassed and ashamed of her actions.

A few months later she realized she was pregnant and since Valroya was the only person she had been intimate with, she knew it was his. She tracked him down and informed him of the child, but she assured him that she was fully committed to raising it herself and that he was not needed if he did not want to help her. She didn’t like him very much and wanted little to do with him, and had planned on naming her child after her family.

Unfortunately, Edel was hurt in an unfortunate accident and she used the last of her magic to keep the baby alive in time to get to a healer. The healer performed an emergency operation to remove the child but Edel did not survive and died before ever seeing her son. The healer knew her name was Edel Gwrtheyrn so he checked the Wizard Council’s records and saw that Edel had listed Valroya Mancini as the father when she registered for the child taxes. Valroya was informed of his son’s situation, as well as Valiant since he was the head of the family, and when the baby was well enough to leave the hospital he was placed in the custody of the Mancini family and named Valiance Mancini.
