Biography
Edren lived within a temple near the river road passing through the Swamp of Esten. Due to the invasion of orcs throughout the Green Isle, the cultists who shared the swamp with Edren grew in strength uninhibited.[1]

| While in his temple, one of Haldric's refugees entered the temple, causing Edren to believe that he was under attack from one of the cultists' undead servants. Upon realizing his mistake, he expressed his wishes that the people at Clearwater Port would clear the swamp as they usually did. After Haldric angrily informed him that they were in the middle of an apocalypse, Edren offered his services for the road ahead. Edren helped Haldric to kill each of the three cultists in the swamp. Before they could continue south towards Southbay, however, they were intercepted by Sir Ruddry, who informed them that the path ahead was blocked by a large host of orcs. Haldric decided instead to travel east towards Clearwater Port.[1] |

| Edren accompanied Haldric's refugees through the Oldwood Forest where they aided Elilmaldur-Rithrandil's woses against a band of orcs. In return, Elimaldur-Rithrandil opened some temple catacombs for Haldric's forces to search for the Ruby of Fire.[2] Edren helped Haldric to destroy the Lich-Lord Lenvan and escape with the Ruby of Fire.[3] They returned to the surface late into the fall, uncertain what to do next. Lady Jessene appeared and advised that they travel to Clearwater Port instead of Southbay.[4]
Upon arriving at Clearwater Port with the orcs close behind, Haldric quickly realized that they would need to hold out against the orcs until enough ships came to evacuate as many of the refugees to Southbay as possible. Edren aided Haldric in the evacuation until they were forced to flee before the port froze over. Instead of sailing directly to Southbay, they chose instead to take an alternative route, and claim a valuable artifact from Fallen Lich Point.[5] When they landed at Fallen Lich Point, they found the petrified Lich-Lord Caror. Haldric uttered the magic words which freed Caror, who immediately cried out for the Ruby of Fire. Edren was adamant that Caror would be defeated, and helped Haldric to eventually kill him and seize the Book of Fire and Darkness, an artifact necessary for using the Ruby of Fire. They then hurried into the sewers, which were protected by a group of orcs.[6] |
