Edowin is a True Soul of the Absolute. He is searching the Wilderness for survivors of the Nautiloid Wreck alongside his fellow believers Andrick and Brynna. They are ultimately looking for a weapon.

Involvement

Act One

Edowin is found in the Forest at X: 139 Y: 446 dying from wounds sustained from an owlbear attack. When the players approach and start a conversation with his siblings, his tadpole will connect with that of the player. He asks the player to protect his siblings, Andrick and Brynna. Edowin dies from his wounds, and cannot be saved by healing.

When he has died, a voice will prompt the player to look closer at his body. The voice encourages the player to recover a Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen from within Edowin.
