A few points of interest in his personal life, that may or may not be common knowledge to those who know him, either as a friend or acquaintance, or have merely heard his name being mentioned in any way throughout the Riddermark:

- Waelden is the son of Eldewine of Faldham and Fyrewyn of Cliving. Both have been deceased for many years.

- As a young rider who trained hard under his father's watchful eyes and the trainers of Faldham, he soon rose to become a respected sperewigend amongst the Elfward in his later teenage years and early adulthood. He proved his worth in battle and served the lords of Faldham in their campaigns in the Norcrofts and beyond, proudly wearing the mark of the famed Elfwards. His father Eldewine had meanwhile struck a deal with his long-time friend lord Ehteris Tiubar, a man of lordly stature, and went to Floodwend to stand by his side. When lord Ehteris passed, Eldewine continued serving his son Ehris.

- A fate like many others awaited brave and honorable Eldewine, and when he met his untimely demise in the northern reaches of Rohan, thus came the chance for young Waelden to heed the call and fulfill the oath in his father's place. Waelden and his wife Eda moved to live in Floodwend, there serving as the personal guardsman and all-around handyman of the Tiubar family. He followed lord Ehris on a lengthy campaign to the north, which regretfully made him miss a few of his daughter’s first years.

Eventually he was released from active service to the Tiubar family, and as such he is now free to pursue his own interests and goals in life. Still the oaths of duty and brotherhood lives on, and when the need arises, he is sometimes tasked with - among other things - leading and guarding the trading wagons that go from Floodwend across the Mark, often to Snowbourn and Edoras, as well as any other towns along the way or further into the Mark. This has made him well acquainted with many taverns and their patrons along the way.

- Waelden is a widower. He married his teenage love Eda when they were both of age, and they stayed together as life-partners until the day of her death. A cruel sickness and fever had taken a grave hold of her, and she eventually passed away on a summer's morning some years ago. Together they have a daughter, Ethel, who is Waelden's greatest joy in life and the reason he carries on.

Life must go on, and many are the tales and adventures still to come for Waelden, son of Eldewine, and for those closest and dearest to him.
