History: Kedaywyn Tresean was born to a rather normal, unexceptional family on a small farm outside the Sembian city of Daerlun. As the youngest of three boys, Kedaywyn was babied and watched out for as a small child. His older brothers and father handled the chores on the farm so Kedaywyn was left alone to his own world and imagination as he grew up. Ked grew up running and playing in the hills and forrests of his family’s land, reciting tales of heroics of long lost heroes and heroines that his father told he and his brothers at night. Growing up this way, without other children and few grownups around outside his parents, Kedaywyn became very shy around strangers. Whenever the family would take a trip to Daerlun, Kedaywyn would marvel at the wonders of the city but would keep quiet and to himself. He would also act this way whenever visitors would come to the family farm.

At the age of ten, Kedaywyn’s world was utterly shattered. While playing in the forrests one fine summer afternoon, a band of ogres attacked his father and brothers in the field. Vastly outnumbered, they were easily slain by the marauding band who then turned their sights on his mother. Overcome with grief at the loss of her family, Ked’s mother fought the ogres who slew her right away instead of trying to capture and mess with the vengefull woman. The band did not stay around the farm, merely looting it and setting the rest on fire. Kedaywyn returned to his comfortable home that evening to find his house in flames and his family slain. The shocked youngster ran into the forrests again, unable to comprehend the disaster of the day and hoping that he could wish it all away. He remained in the forest for a day and a half before returning. Kedaywyn returned to the farm to beat the vultures and other carrion from eating his family’s remains in the fields. He quickly set about doing the only thing he could then; bury them.

Standing in front of the last of the stone graves, his head bowed in prayer, was how Derren Graybeard, a ranger from the surrounding area, found young Kedaywyn. Derren said nothing as the boy continued his quiet service. When finished, Kedaywyn finally noticed the elder man and went to him. Not a word was said as Kedaywyn knew that Derren was his only hope of survival now. Derren put the exhausted boy on his horse and carried him from the horrible scene of death. For the next five years, Kedaywyn rarely spoke, seldom to Derren and certainly not to anyone else. Derren took the boy in and raised him as his son, teaching him the ways of the forrest and those of the ranger. Kedaywyn learned to hunt, prepare his kill, set snares, what berries to eat and what others would sicken or kill him. Derren taught Kedaywyn everything he knew about the woods around Daerlun and the way of the world as much as possible but he never intruded into Kedaywyn’s privacy. His family and the attack on them was never discussed between the two of them, Ked burying the hurt and anger deep within himself.

In the winter of Kedaywyn’s fifth year with Derren, the old man took ill from the cold and was sick the entire winter. Kedaywyn took care of him as best he could but he knew that the old man, well past seventy years of age, was dying. That spring Derren died and another loved one in Kedaywyn’s young life had left him. As soon as the weather broke, Kedaywyn packed his belongings and heading out of the valley he had shared with Derren for the past five years. Swallowing his fear of the city, Kedaywyn headed to Daerlun and there joined the Almeddine, the western army of Sembia. Not one for getting alone comfortably with others, Ked was given a job as a scout for the army. The skills that he had learned from Derren were especially suited to such tasks and Kedaywyn was thankfull for the privacy. It was in the Almeddine that he refrined his archery skills, becoming a skilled sharpshooter as well able tracker.

While a part of the Almeddine, Kedaywyn was introduced to the moderate ideology of the Blue Moon faction in Sembia. Abhorring violence himself, even though he was exceptionally good at it at times, he took to the pacifist ways of the Blue Moon. The growing animosity between the Blue Moon faction and the more aggressive and war-like Blue Crescent faction caused major problems for Kedaywyn who wanted no part in the conflict. Feeling that it was time to move on, Kedaywyn opted for early retirement from the Almeddine, took his severance pay and headed out of Sembia, looking for a place away from warring factions and marauding bands of brigands.

Attitude and disposition: Because of his time spent alone and away from others, Kedaywyn has a moderate fear of large groups of people. He would rather avoid them at all costs, but if unable to will become quite uncomfortable in them. Crowds make him quite fidgety and he will begin to sweat and look around for a way of escaping the crowded area. He usually feels suffocated confined within large city walls and can only take a few days of staying within them. Small towns or villages do not bother him overly much excepting for the people but he would much rather stay out under the stars than in a tavern.

Kedaywyn also has a phobia of enclosed places. This stems from his fear of large cities and the feeling of suffocation that he feels. Having spent most of his life communing with nature and sleeping under the stars and such, he feels confined any other way. Thus, he has his fear of enclosed places.

Although no longer a part of the Blue Moon faction in Sembia, Kedaywyn still carries his prayer book and sect insignia with him. He keeps the insignia hidden on a chain around his neck. Although quite skilled at combat, Kedaywyn does abhor violence and will seek to find another solution whenever possible. Once resolved to combat though, he will utilize all his skills to vanquish his foe as quickly as possible, seldom showing mercy. Following combat, Kedaywyn will often move off to a spot to himself and pull forth his prayer book and read from it. The reading of the book calms his nerves and allows him to regain control, he also feels refreshed and reassured after reading the word.

Following the battle with the ogres in the cave where his left hand was crushed, Kedaywyn has developed a subconcious tik of flexing and unflexing his left hand. When faced with a decision, he will often be seen flexing the hand as he contemplates the choices before him.

Current Situation: Kedaywyn has joined a group going by the name of the 'Band of the Egg'. The group currently consists of Ferous, a female elven priestess; Kaz, a human bounty hunter; Guybrush, a gnome enchanter; Angleddin, a dwarven priest; and Sarina, a female rogue. Having met in the town of Eveningstar, the group has secured a charter to adventure in the lands of Cormyr. The group is currently seeking out the individuals responsible for the murder of one of the townspeople and his family.

Appearance: Kedaywyn has typical Sembian features, tan skin, brown eyes, a thin beard and curly, black hair. He stands 5’ 11” tall and weighs 180 lbs or so. He is not a handsome man but neither is he unattracitve. Most times he could be described as average looking. He has a modest build, one that is used to the heavy chores of farming for one’s self and the tasks required of him as a soldier. He typically wears a small leather vest for protection over his tunic with dark breeches and black walking boots. He has a long brown, weathered cloak with a hood that is held with a silver broach. From his right side is a longsword and at his left hangs a short sword. Across his back is his quiver of arrows and he carries his composite bow with him. He also has a backpack and several pouches along his belt.
