Background

Everall Dillingham of Selanthia was born on the 29th of Charlatos, 5087, in a small estate situated northeast of Tamzyrr, in the uplands. His lineage is one of both noble and humble beginnings, a combination that has shaped his view of the world.

Parents

His father, Sir Broderick Dillingham, a former knight of the Empire and a prominent horse rancher, built his wealth by supplying horses and weaponry to the knighthood after his retirement knighthood. When he was younger, his character was forged in the fires of the battlefield as a member of the revered Order of the Golvern Star, a distinction that brought him both great honor and influence.

His mother, Rosalind Dillingham, on the other hand, came from a humble background as the daughter of a baker. She is a follower of Koar and volunteered her time aiding the poor, passing on a deep sense of compassion and community to her children.

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, Rosalind's, influence.

Formative Years

The early years of Everall’s family life was marked by tragedy. When he was just five years old, his three year old sister Litha Dillingham was kidnapped by his uncle who was a ruthless man, who sought to further his own ambitions through blackmailing the Dillingham family for their wealth. Through Sir Broderick Dillingham's fervor for justice, connections in the Empire, and after 17 long years, they eventually captured Everall's uncle and aunt and they were brought to justice by the Fist. Litha's return was a bittersweet moment, as the family was elated to have her back, it left some very deep emotional scars that have never fully healed for Litha, Everall, and the rest of the family and yet an eagerness to reconcile a lost childhood.

Everall also has a brother, Reid Dillingham, born in 5083, whose whereabouts are presently unknown. It is suspected he worked as a sea captain in Estoria as recent as five years ago, but this mystery, along with his family’s troubled past, has shaped Everall’s resolve to find justice, peace, and stability within the Empire.

Study and Tutelage

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 the undead and the Arkati, learning about the unholy forces that haunt 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 undead and defending the Empire from both the living and the undead has fueled his mission to uphold the honor of Koar and to ensure peace within the Empire. He grew to be a man not easily swayed from his beliefs, but shaped by his noble upbringing, his rigorous training, and the haunted past of his family history.

Presently

After his formative years studying the undead and combat, through numerous additional tales, he was called and commissioned by the Church of Koar in Tamzyrr to act as an inquisitorial representative of the church regarding leads of undead occurences in the territories in and around Vornavis. That took him to Solhaven and Wehnimer’s Landing, cities known for their rich history and strategic position near the northern borders of the Empire, to investigate the origins of the undead in the region and snuff it out in defense of those citizens that live within their boundaries.

While there, he has come to call this area his present day home, until called back to Selanthia. He has come to work with House Onoir, the Order of the Azure Sun, and the House of the Rising Phoenix, in their mission to protect the citizens of the duchy and surrounding territories.
