Eochaid Banbán’s Backstory

Eochaid Banbán, the long-serving mayor of Amnap Port, has spent centuries as a guiding figure in the port town’s history. Born into a family of traders, Eochaid grew up learning diplomacy and leadership from a young age, rising quickly through the ranks of the town’s political hierarchy. His elven longevity has allowed him to witness multiple generations of townsfolk come and go, deepening his bond with the town and its people.

Despite his thin frame and smooth, composed demeanor, Eochaid’s heart bears the weight of countless years of service. He is often seen standing at the town’s bustling docks, his sharp eyes watching over the people he has sworn to protect. The port itself is vital, a lifeline for trade and livelihood, and Eochaid’s leadership has ensured its prosperity for centuries.

However, recent months have shaken him in ways even his long life had not prepared him for. Men from the village began disappearing without a trace, leaving their families in despair and the town’s future uncertain. Unable to solve the mystery himself, Eochaid’s usually calm exterior began to show cracks. Desperation led him to seek outside help—swallowing his pride, he begged the adventuring group to take on the quest to find the missing men. His smooth voice, usually filled with command, carried a rare tremor as he pleaded for their assistance.

Though he is 385 years old, a fact known only to a few, Eochaid still carries the energy of a younger elf, fiercely dedicated to the people of Amnap Port. While outwardly confident and composed, his long life has given him a deep understanding of loss, and the recent troubles have weighed heavily on him. The adventurers may see him as merely a town mayor, but beneath the surface lies an elf who has seen much and still carries the burden of protecting his people at any cost.

With the fate of the town in their hands, Eochaid waits anxiously, hopeful that the group he entrusted with the mission will succeed in returning the missing villagers.
