== History == |
|||
Born 29th of Charlatos, 5087 on a ranch outside of Tamzyrr, Everall is one of three children in the Dillingham family; a family known for ranching and mining in the foothills outside of Tamzyrr. The patriarch of the family supplied the Selanthian military with weaponry and excellently bread horses. He, himself, was a retired member of the Order of the Golvern Star. The matriarch of the family is a kind and humble woman who is a devout follower of Koar. |

His mother, on the other hand, came from a humble background as the daughter of a baker. She was a follower of Koar and volunteered her time aiding the poor, passing on a deep sense of compassion and community to her children. |
|||
Everall is the middle child having an older brother whose whereabouts are unknown, and a younger sister named Litha who resides in Solhaven. Everall spent his youth sitting at the base of the city walls, study chivalric code and squiring with a Tamzyrrian knight of the Order of the Crimson Fist. At 16, he began formal military studies. After a number of years of service with the Imperial military he received a missive from the local Prelate of the Church of Koar requesting a meeting. He was asked to consider employment with the Church of Koar to seek out those who have malintent towards residents of the Empire (particularly possibly from those who follow the gods of Lornon) and heresy to Koarinian doctrine. |

'''Early Age''' |
|||
From an early age, Everall was exposed to a blend of both the nobility’s chivalric code and the commoner’s simple, selfless life. His upbringing, shaped by these contrasts, made him a studious, disciplined child. While his father’s teachings focused on the art of warfare, strategy, and the importance of honor, Everall also learned the value of kindness, hard work, and faith through his mother’s influence. |

== Formative Years == |
|||
The early years of Everall’s life were marked by tragedy. When he was just five years old, his three year old sister was kidnapped by his uncle, a ruthless man who sought to further his own ambitions through blackmailing the Dillingham family for their wealth. Through the Dillingham patriarch’s fervor for justice and connections in the Empire, the eventual capture of his uncle and aunt was at hand as they were brought to justice by the Fist. His sister’s return was a bittersweet moment, as it took 17 years to find her and have her returned, leaving deep emotional scars that have never fully healed for either family member. |

Everall’s brother, born in 4990, disappeared around the same time, and while it’s suspected he worked as a sea captain in Estoria, his whereabouts remain unknown. This mystery, along with his family’s troubled past, has shaped Everall’s resolve to find justice, peace, and stability within the Empire. |
|||
During his youth, Everall found solace in study, especially under the guidance of the Tamzyrrian knights of the Order of the Crimson Fist. These knights, strong followers of Koar, instilled in him a deep sense of duty, chivalric ideals, and the knowledge of their roles as protectors of the Empire. His tutelage also took him to the Church of Koar, where he studied the origins of undead and the Arkati, learning about the unholy forces that haunted the Empire. |
|||
Everall’s dedication to the code of chivalry and martial studies made him a well-rounded and driven individual. His belief in extinguishing the hauntings of the dead and defending the Empire from both the living and the dead has fueled his mission to uphold the honor of Koar and to ensure peace within the Empire. He is a man not easily swayed, shaped by his noble upbringing, his rigorous training, and the haunted past of his family. |
