History
Edwyn was born to Lord Fedryck Ansylon and Lady Avaline Montag. At the age of fifteen, he came to Norath with his father and sisters to meet with Lord Gerold Alastor. When he returned, he was arranged to be married to Elyse Lorione, the daughter of Lord Jamor Lorione. Before they could marry, the War of the Three Princes broke out and at sixteen, Edwyn fought alongside the Gallian troops. After overwhelming Gerold’s forces at Bluebarge, Edwyn received news that Fargus Halfast had laid seige to the Ringfort, Edwyn rushed to repel the Dunnish, but was too late. The seige had broken through and Patrik Aryon and Elyse Lorione were both killed.

In the aftermath of the war, Fedryck wished to find a new bride for Edwyn, but he was broken by the loss of Elyse. Many members of the noble houses were killed during the previous wars and there were no prospective brides among the Old Houses. Over the next two decades, Edwyn ate and drank himself into depression and grew fat, but eventually became known for his boisterous behavior and festive personality. In 395 AD, Edwyn was arranged to marry Lady Valary Alanine in Norath the following year.
