BackgroundSince his birth Pilder was a healthy and curious Gnome. He never took things at face value, especially when dealing with others, he was always doubtful of things that seemed too good to be true. For example, there was a time when he found an open jar of honey but decided not to taste it since he surmised it wouldn't be sitting out unless there was something wrong with it. He was right of course, shortly before he found the jar his Mom broke a mirror over the open jar and glass fell in, she hadn't time to throw it away since there was a pot of stew burning on the fire. Pilder enjoyed his childhood, he was not spoiled by his parents nor was he neglected, his father (Paafen) was an inventor, a member of a local guild, and a pious man. His mother took care of the home and she was involved in the local politics of the village. Pilder consistenly outperformed his peers in mathmatics and puzzles but was only mediocre in games involving physical exertion. He was not drawn to team sports but did not mind playing 'backyard' games since they were less organized, he was unsurpassed at hide and find. Pilder left Deglos on a whim after his mother's execution, she killed his father by sneaking up, knocking him out, and dumping him in a vat of acid. At the trial she said she was tired of his inattention to her, she was executed by beheading and her body was dropped into a bottomless pit while on fire, Pilder insisted on watching the entire process. Pilder has vowed to finish his father's last project, an attempt to collect and store the suns rays into a diamond and then releasing small amounts of light over a long period of time, he postulated the resulting light would illuminate an entire 40x40 room for a year. Pilder has abandoned the Gnomish practice of carrying more than one name, he will only answer to the name his father gave him and he will not speak the name of his mother. He began by his travels by packing lightly and heading in the direction of the Elven woods of T'Nanshi. He arrived at Le'Or T'Nanshi but didn't stay long since he was afraid of heights and felt overwhelmed by the size and beauty of the Elves. He decided to continue on to Elysia to explore the city, along the way he decided to explore a cave. He lit a small torch he was carrying and crept crept slowly inside, after a short while his torch went out, so he slowly began to return the way he came but somehow ended up in the web of a giant spider web, he struggled and called for help but no answer came. From out of nowehere a human female arrayed in robes and with a light over her head arrived, she silently moved toward him and with a single motion and a slight murmur disintegrated the web and strode back the way she came. Pilder quickly followed her, thanked her and asking questions but no reply came. He stopped outside the caves entrance grabbed his pack and hurriedly moved on toward Elysia as the stranger disappeared in the direction of T'Nanshi. He felt fortunate and decided trusting humans might be okay even after the horror stories of the M'Chek and T'Nanshi war. He finally arrived at Elysia but the walls of the city made him feel confined and gave him an unsettling feeling, he stayed no more than a day and wandered to the open lands of Ferrell. He remembered childhood stories of the welcoming atmosphere and the abundance of flora and minerals to study, not to mention the learned members of AKN. Just before entering the town of Port Eridanus he waded in the cooling waters and happened discovered a golden coin, Pilder carries the coin as a sign that Fegall wanted him to settle in the land of the beirynki. Pilder intends to spend some time on his father's last attempts of an invention and learn the intricasies of the creation of fine items, he follows Fegall as his father did and is determined to settle in Ferrell and to shed the burden of his recent past. Recent timesShortly after settling in Ferrell Pilder heard of a festival occuring in the city of the mages, Visimonitium. He journeyed to the city seeking entertainment and the companionship of others, as he entered the city he ran into several Ashen Order mages who invited him to join with them as they walked to the festival. This is the day that Pilder will remember for the rest of his days, it is the day he met a halfling named Coraline Cleawater. She had flaming red hair and piercing blue eyes, they chatted throughout the festival getting to know each other. At one point, they faced off on the field of battle for a friendly match of spell slinging, before he knew it he was being helped up off the ground by his new friend. As the months and years passed he and Coraline grew closer even though duties and distance kept them apart. Pilder visited Mikona, Coraline's home, as often as he was able to, they could be seen traipsing around Mikona looking for places to talk and adventure; both grew in power together as time passed. If he was unable to make the trip he was sure to send word of his doings by messenger and from time to time Coraline's fairy dragon companion, Fie, could be seen delivering messages in Ferrell. Eventually, Pilder learned of Coraline's reassignment as the head of the Ashen Order in Visimontium, she was now further away. The times they saw each other grew fewer and fewer but messages were still exchanged regularly and eventually Pilder visitied Visimontium more and more. He obtained a room in a local inn and they eventually decided that two of them paying for inn rooms did not make sense so they decided to rent a cottage togther. It was the day they moved in together that Pilder asked Coraline to wed and she accepted the ring offered.
