- Edgar

Edgar is a character in the Eschalon series. He is a human spirit in Wanderer's Glen, Wylderan.

Biography
Edgar was a woodworker in Wanderer's Glen. He became quite proficient at making bows from the wood of the great trees of the Elderoak Forest and they were known far and wide as the best bows in all of Eschalon. One day a man came to him and asked him to forge a special bow "with a spite for all living things", which the man would give to his "master" as a gift. He threatened to kill Edgar if he didn't do as he asked, so Edgar reluctantly began to work on the bow and finished it after a year. Named "Bittersting", the bow was "the most dreadful thing" he had ever seen.

When the man came to collect the bow, Edgar refused to give him such a powerful weapon. The man simply walked out without saying a word, but returned later that night while Edgar was sleeping, cut his throat and took Bittersting. Knowing the bow is in the hands of a murderer, his spirit could not rest and lingers in Wanderer's Glen.
