+puts up a spirited defense+ Unless your real name is Katherine, I see no feminine name that could be shortened to Kath either! Eorl, on the other hand, is a real feminine name, e, o, r, l, all soft consonants and vowels, but K, TH, those are hard consonants, right? They are usually reserved for masculine names.

+gets confused herself+ But anyway.
Oh, you edited your last post! I didn't see it there, my apologies. My comments are
bold.

Born into a family of very young parents his early years were still happy, with a mother and father who cared for him deeply. Er, your mother was a manic depressive (I did mention that in the post I showed you, I think.) and Fere hardly ever showed up at home, so, a happy childhood? Not likely... However when he was three his father was called away to fight and never came back. His mother died soon after Mother died soon after childbirth, that is why you only remember your dad, and the reason that after Ferethor's disappearance you were sent off to your only surviving relative, your grandfather. and so he was raised by his grandfather with the help of various members of his town so he had strong male role models and learnt the skills he needed to be a valuable member of the community. As you wish. Specifics would be nice. His grandfather blamed his father for his mothers death and often spoke ill of him, but others in the area remembered how loving Ferethor had been toward his son Who'd say that is a liar. True, Ferethor did love your character, but he was the kind of person who'd die with mortification if anyone, and that includes you, ever thought that he felt any kind of affection toward anything at all. He'd never have let his feelings show in front of anyone else... Except for his drinking partners. That's one weakness of his. He talks when he drinks, and so the people at the tavern might know. and with this disagreement and his own memories of being loved his grandfather never convinced him that this was true. His grandfather wanted to prevent him going into to the army,and becoming like his father, but there were so many arguments over this subject that he eventually allowed him to go. Yay! You're learning to use commas! At 15 he left home for Lossarnach, to begin his training as a soldier. He has now been in training for 2 years. During this time he heard rumours about his father, and how his body was never found. Becoming curious he asked as many people as possible for stories and information about the battle in which his father was lost and discovered that no one could give a clear answer as to what had actually happened. Wanting to know more, he volunteered for the Corsair mission as he thought the sailors might know something.
