Edor Braun (rendered in at least one royal document as Edor Bren [citation needed]) is the King of Marterus, ruling from the castle keep of Ulfhold within the city's fortified Stone Circle. Now in his mid-seventies, the king is described by recent petitioners as old and tired but with an alertness still in his eyes — a combination that has led at least one visiting druid to suspect an enchantment at work.
King Edor rules the merchant city of Marterus and its surrounding lands, whose roads are patrolled by the wolfguard. His court receives petitioners in a grand audience chamber in Ulfhold, where the king is noted for welcoming visitors warmly but with caution, a diplomatic posture his advisors describe as "both" [citation needed].
When royal scouts and airships reported the discovery of a temple of unknown origin — whose magic interfered with the airships sent to survey it — the king circulated flyers seeking adventurers to explore it. One such flyer, posted as far away as Port Starvryn, secured the druid Brogmar Mossbeard passage aboard the airship The Kestrel, indirectly assembling the party that would become the Heroes of Eastport.
The king received the Heroes of Eastport at Ulfhold in the winter of 1487 DR. The audience is notable in the record for its exchanges: the king offered caution and a promise to seek out experts on the demon known as the Crooked Man, while the party offered a handcrafted leaf sculpture and a demand for payment up front. Both sides are reported to have left satisfied [citation needed].
Following an incident at the Scales of Garten trading house, the king learned the true identity of Brogmar Mossbeard as the missing merchant heir Harry Dennison, and undertook to house and protect the druid's ailing mother and sister until the party's return. Whether the king's fatigue is age, burden, or something cast upon him remains an open question in the archives.
