A child, given the name Adathmir, was born in Erynos, the result of a young woman's day trip to the market in Pelargir and a veteran sailor's devil-may-care charm. After the young woman's death, and a long legal battle, the absent father was forced to raise his son. 

Despite his father's resentfulness, Adathmir thrived on the waves upon which he was raised. Even before the end of his youth he had travelled all along the coast, from Mithlond to Umbar. Between voyages, Adathmir was prone to exploring the inland countryside. His father, a petty noble of Pelargir and not lacking for money, always supported him in these ventures, as it meant that he would have to spend less time with him.

Now, with the death of his father, Adathmir has become untethered. With the inheritance leaving him seemingly limitless amounts of money at his disposal, he has set out to travel the world.
