If you're highly empathetic, stop right here and just enjoy the picture.
But if you’ve decided to keep reading, we’re sure you’ll appreciate that in the world of Everbright, every hero has a story worth discovering.
By the way, you’ll get to meet Edgar in the upcoming update!
🗺️ In the lands of hashtag , Giant Capybaras are a common mount, often cherished by their riders as beloved pets. Edgar, however, wasn’t meant for love. He was bred for duty and trained as a mount for the Royal Court from an early age. His purpose was clear: to serve, not to play or cuddle.
Over time, his natural warmth was buried beneath disciplined focus. He became loyal to Maxwell, an advisor to the emperor, who treated him with subtle kindness. Maxwell’s children, however, took Edgar in as a pet. They showered him with the affection Maxwell lacked and dressed him in fun outfits. Edgar resisted at first, but he began to soften and cherished their warmth in quiet moments. He never imagined he deserved this type of love, but here it was, embracing him.
But just as love entered Edgar’s life, it quickly left. After Maxwell spoke out against the emperor’s oppressive policies, he and his family were exiled. In a tragic twist, Maxwell’s children were lost in an invasion, and both Maxwell and Edgar were consumed by grief. Maxwell grew cold and fixated on vengeance, while Edgar became a painful reminder of the family Maxwell had lost. Even Maxwell’s subtle kindness faded, replaced by distance. He stripped Edgar of the outfits his children gave him and dressed him in spiked armor. Alone in his sorrow, Edgar returned to his disciplined nature.
Maybe he didn’t deserve love, after all.
The divide between Maxwell and Edgar only deepened with time. After the civil war broke out, Maxwell accidentally rode Edgar into an ambush. In the chaos, Edgar became trapped and squealed for help, but Maxwell was forced to retreat. He glanced back at Edgar one final time and said goodbye - not just to his mount, but to the memories of his children and the love they once shared. Edgar was left behind, forgotten as the ambushers pursued Maxwell.
Now, Edgar remains stranded, waiting - no, hoping - that he may still find a home in this cruel world.
If he's lucky, you might offer him one, and he can carry you toward new adventures!
