Edgar and Samson’s experience as city guards was anything but glamorous. The government would only pay for their education after six years of service, and the only traveling they did was at night between bars of puking customers. But Edgar did his duty, and within a year and he Samson moved through the ranks until they were patrolling the capital steps. It was during this time that Edgar met Princess Cassandra Bullmore in a rather embarrassing manner. Lady Cassandra had accidentally spat on Edgar from afar whilst showing off to her friend. What ensued was a short chase with Edgar, not knowing it was the princess, insulting and chastising her. If it weren’t for Cassandra’s mercy, Edgar would have been cleaning latrines at the barracks for the remainder of his service. The two would meet at the same spot for weeks, speaking to their own experiences of being a lady with a title, and a young man with nothing truly to his name. | Edgar and Samson’s experience as city guards was anything but glamorous.

Against all instincts and sound advice from Samson, Edgar challenged his superior, Lieutenant-Captain Loghain Bradley to a joust for Lady Cassandra’s hand. Loghain and Cassandra were set to be wed for the political and monetary benefits both families could provide to one another. Not a knight, Edgar’s challenge was mocked. It wasn’t until the Rose Queen grew tired of the insistent annoyance before her, that she ordered Loghain to run him into the dirt in a formal joust for Cassandra’s hand. To everyone’s surprise, Edgar had run the joust into a 2-2 contest. On the third and final relay, falling victim to Loghain’s taunts, Edgar threw the contest and broke his arm in the process.

When you represent the best in Meadowcraft, you look and act your best. The Lion of Meadowcraft.
Backstory
The Castille Boys
Edgar and his younger brother Samson grew up on an isolated community farm on the outskirts of Oakvale. With only 5 gold to their name and the clothes on their back, the brothers hitchhiked to Meadowcraft where they dreamt of owning land. Upon arrival, the brothers were thrust into the overwhelming hustle and bustle of the city and all its amenities. Unfamiliar with city life, the brothers stumbled around staying with family friends while working odd jobs to keep themselves afloat. It would be a year of hard labor before the brothers would join the armed service with promises of free school and travel.
