Nederick Stoneward

Sir Nederick Stoneward, born Nederick Stoneward, is a Knight of Gilneas and the sole living son of Lord Toderick Stoneward.

Early Years
Nederick or Ned as he was called as a boy, was the second born son of Toderick Stoneward. As the second son of the heir to a affluent noble House, Ned never anticipated ever coming as close as he is now to the position of Lord. Young Ned was given the opportunity of the education befitting of the member of a noble House, but was not given great attention. Ned constantly lived in the shadow of his elder brother, Cedrick Stoneward. Ned soon befriended his uncle, Geoffrick Stoneward who was born into similar circumstances as Ned.

Upon coming upon suitable age, it was arranged that Ned should become a squire to a Knight of Gilneas, so that he may one day rise to the rank as his brother before him had. Young Ned squired under a Sir Lorent Highridge, a knight operating in his grandfather, Lord Roderick Stoneware's lands. Ned served as a squire faithfully serving and saw combat on numerous occasions.

Adulthood
Ned was knighted at the age of 17 after the end of the Northgate Rebellion. During the Northgate Rebellion, the House of Stoneward took two heavy blows, the lost of Ned's older brother, Cedrick and the lost of its Lord, leaving Ned's father, Toderick as the new Lord of the House of Stoneward.

This caused his father to look into securing the future of his House. Nederick became a suitor of multiple noble women, but refused every match due to him having a problem with every potential bride. As a result of his stubbornness, his father named Geoffrick the heir, unless Nederick can produce a legitimate heir. This caused great tension between Nederick and his father.

However, this tense time of his was abruptly interrupted with the Curse of the Worgen and the Fall of Gilneas. Nederick was called to protect Stoneward Prison. During which he cast aside the easy lifestyle of a knight and assumed the role of an officer, he even wore appropriate officer garb and in fact developed a preference for it over a plate suit of armor.
