Edwin was born to an English family in Mercia and was educated well so he could join the church. A pious boy, he thought of joining a wealthy monastery in order to follow God (and also to fill his belly, as monasteries seemed wealthier than many other places). However, his uncanny way of finding things (dowsing and magic sensitivity) brought him to the attention of a covenant who recruited the young monk and gave him the chance to work for them. He stayed in touch with monks from his training, and learned ideas about land management and estate improvement from them.
The magi taught him a little of the supernatural world (arcane lore) so he could put his talents to best use. Over time, he learned how to trade with people in Northumbria and with the Danes, so he could sell the covenant surplus, and in doing so built up a large network of contacts. He had put into place an ambitious scheme to drain some lands to grow more crops and improve pasture when the war came, and the farmlands that enabled him to eat so well were destroyed along with the covenant.
Now he is wandering the country, discovering that all the covenants he knew of are destroyed. This war has wrecked his livelihood and Danish invaders threaten the mundane people of his land. He is looking for a place to settle, a chance to put his skills into building something again, and a way of putting plenty of food on the table.
