Legend
General Information:
Name: Wollston Stirling
Titles: Lord, Merchant Prince (Former)
Age: 163
Race: Silver/Wood Elf
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Current Residence: Veraci
Relationship Status: Single
Social Status: Reclusive Socialite living in the penthouse in his Taverna in the city of Veraci. Survivor and prince of the fallen city state of Tambry and responsible for helping to save countless hundreds. These days however (well it feels at least 100 years later) Wollston barely ventures out for little more than a drink or a fine dining experience.
He misses his presumed dead son Elros, seemingly swept beneath the sea. Wollston feels let down by the lack of his success with his mining operation in Eisenheim as well as his failed venture in paying for the founding of Veraci and trying to establish a colony in the South with former members of Tambry Trading Company. This was something that forced him to sell his estate in Eisenheim to James Stirling and move into Elros' Taverna in the city of Veraci. The same city that Elros and Elros' best friend James Merchante swindled thousands from him.
Despite this Wollston still misses Elros his illegitimate son, his half brother Morgan Cerendor (presumed dead), and his surrogate Uncle the Dwarf Bimhe Onyxhart who fell to his death at the final battle of Port Silver before the destruction of Tambry itself.
Wollston has persisted as a merchant in the years since the selling of Eisenheim. Content with utilizing the talents of his mentor Bimhe Onyxhart's son Ehmib to produce a higher quality variety of spirits for the last few decades; including decades aged whiskey, scotch, rum, wine, beer and even champagne. Aged at the Taverna in Veraci itself. They have been able to make a decent living to maintain their small hold in the city of Veraci, the city of which they were both founders. Ehmib as of late (after losing his holding in the brewery he built, as well as, the lush wheat fields he helped sow in Eastern Storm's Landing) has resolved to spend his days more invested in his booze, his pipe weed, and even milk of the poppy than his investment with Wollston. Ehmib currently only owns the rights to the breweries' dock slots and lives on his small boat; the same ocean and river worthy vessel Wollston saved him on after the destruction of Tambry.
Wollston feels a shell of his former self, 163 years old, middle aged by some elf standards, but having suffered more loss financially, physically, and emotionally than most. He regrets never being able to be a true Lord of house Stirling or any house since he was born a commoner and hates that places like Veraci and Tambry were taken or destroyed. He misses his loved ones, but cannot get over his and their losses. Wollston Cerrendor, who once dreamed of being named Wollston Stirling the Merchant King, spends his days in his penthouse in his Taverna in Veraci reading the same novels he would have read from the library of Tambry inside his room in Onyxhart Tavern decades ago. The wheel of time can be cruel, but indeed it can be circular as well.

Update: Elros Cerendor lost much of the Cerendor fortune because he failed to recoup most of the families' investment in Veraci.

However, city life was still not suiting for him in old age and the aging elf now resides in a lavish manor home founded on the ruins of the mining port of Eisenheim. Wollston has used much of his remaining wealth to revitalize the mine and infrastructural of the region, including building an inn and homes in the area. Eisenheim is now a functioning port and mine.
Recently Wollston learned of an old acquaintances plans to try to build a city to recapture the glory of this former home Tambry. The city conveniently will be named Tambry. Being the owner of a mine and a shipping company Wollston sees this as the perfect opportunity to return his house and fortune to its former illustrious pedigree. He is now focused on mining stone, ore, and minerals to provide the much needed building materials to complete a city of the caliber proposed. He is always looking for more miners and sailors to assist him to see this goal to fruition. Recently he also called the debt on his son and his friend Julian Merchante in order for them to save face and more importantly make him back his money!!
History:
(will elaborate on this in story form or something later)
Birthplace: Port Silver
Childhood: Spent living with his Mother in their home above her Tavern, had a close childhood friend another silver elf named Ophelia.
Teen Years: Never knowing his father Wollston was prone to wandering Port Silver doing odd jobs, or helping his mother with her Tavern work. He is confused about who is father is because his mother never speaks of him, but gifts, like a heirloom elvish blade and a lute keep arriving. Additionally, Wollston's tutoring bills are much greater than his own mothers salary.
Ends up dating Ophelia and agree to get married when they are older. Wollston is sent on a trade mission to Thill, where he runs into a man named Morgan, they realize (or more accurately he realizes, since Morgan is just playing Daft) that they both share the same last name, it is confirmed to him that Morgan is his long lost half-brother and their bastard father abandoned them both. Morgan, then a wealthy Port Silver Merchant, reveals he had paid for Wollston's tutoring. Simulatenously the corruption of Port Silver begins Wollston's mother and Ophelia both die in the incident. Wollston is devastated, follows Morgan to help found the city of Tambry, however, Morgan forces Wollston to spend most of his time indoors studying.
Adulthood: Joins thieves guild in revolt to his own brothers insistence on him studying, Morgan disappears, Wollston named heir to House Stirling. Still learns the ways of the rogue from the thief Balatro, all while commanding the Tambry guard and utilizing each side against more evil foes. Helps lead the evacuation by ship of Tambry and plants explosives in the sewers to destroy blight with his faithful hafling servant Patsy lighting the explosives…destroying both the city and the zombies. Moves to Stirling Reserve depressed and a recluse.
Family History: Wollston is not privy to any history of his family besides what he knows of Morgan and his Mother.

Places Traveled: Port Silver, Thill, Queensport, Tambry, Le Havre, Le Marche (now the Quays), Hells Ridge, Heaven's Reach, Irrcrawn, Praelidium, Crossroads, Mastor Manor, Scourge, Riseport.
Newer History: Wollston has changed his name to Stirling after voluntarily exiling himself to the Stirling Reserve, after abolishing House Stirling and merging his former House with that of Black Rose. He is not a Prince in exile though after being betrothed to Queen Charlotte Abermore's Daughter Marie. This unfortunately was not meant to be.
Wollston recently lost much of his fortune investing in his son's venture in the founding of Veraci. He hopes to recoup his losses at almost any cost
He is now the founding member of the Stirling Trading Company guild.
2022 Update: Wollston is back and aged a lot. He regained some of his fortune by selling his estate in Eisenheim and many of his belongings and is now a recluse in Veraci as I wrote up top because he is basically a new character for most players. Not sure if he will return to using the surname Stirling or Cerendor, but currently he retains the latter name and for now no claim to any title or lordship. We shall see what happens?

New World Updates:
Wollston evacuated Tambry, saving its citizens, with the help of Sir Niko, he fled via his small ocean worth vessel "The Ophelia" to what would become the Stirling Reserve. Using blueprints and materials that were dropped ashore on this chain of islands East of Spawn, Wollston found what looked like a quiet area, to settle and contemplate the events that had led to the destruction of both his childhood home of Port Silver and his adulthood home of Tambry.
Wollston was done living in the city, it only attracted more darkness, thus his estate at the Stirling Reserve was born, and his quest to protect nature began. His life was no longer devoted to fame and fortune .
Character Update: Fathered an Elf Elros Cerendor from a one night stand in Storm's Landing. Sold Stirling Reserve, currently resides in Eisenheim.
