Edric, Spymaster of Trest

On the plane of Fiora, all power comes from knowledge, and the greatest power anyone can hold over another is knowledge of their secrets. The strength given by knowledge is what turned Trest, once nothing but a small elven trader-city, into one of the key political players if Fiora. Though few would know it , this new position of power is all due to one man- Edric, Trest's secretive spymaster.   Always Watching, Always Learning Apparently born with few needs beyond the drive to gather knowledge, Edric has dedicated his life to learning all that he can about the world around him. Studying at the Academy of Trest when he was younger, something occurred just before his graduation which drove Edric to quite his schooling, and turn towards the art of espionage instead. A quick study, Edric was able to rise rapidly through the ranks of Trest's spies, showing a great skill in using his magic to gather hidden information.   As the spymaster of Trest, Edric knows all the comings and goings of his home, as well as most of the inner workings of the cities Trest associates with, including Paliano and Kinnesta. While Edric uses most of this information to aid his city, some he keeps for himsel, selling it to those he knows would pay top coin for it. One of his top clients is the empress of Kinesta herself, who is currently working with Edric in a bid to establish herself as a top political player in Paliano.   Scheming for Power Few would know it to look at him, but in his mind Edric harbors schemes for political power of his own beyond what he's already achieved. Edric seeks to expand his spy network across all of Fiora, far enough that no secret would be able to remain hidden from him. Edric does so in search of a centuries-old secret- the same one which drove him to quite the academy and begin his current life.
