'''Edellein Blackwing''' is the [General] of the 1st Army of [[Pallass]]. He comes from the [[Drakes|Drake]] [[Nobility|noble]] family of the [[Blackwing Family|Blackwings]].

== Appearance ==
Faded green-and-yellow scales.

== Personality ==
{{TBA}}

== Background ==
Edellein is an old Drake, and not an [[Oldblood Drakes|Oldblood Drake]] despite being born of the Blackwing family. Though he never graduated from [[Manus]], he has risen to his position through decades of service and hard work. He has 40 years of command experience.<ref>{{VERef|Goblin Days (Pt. 4) – Order, Oddity}}</ref>

Edellein is considered less capable than his younger<ref name="7.02">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/26/7-02/ Chapter 7.02]</ref> half-brother, [[Thrissiam Blackwing]], who had been the [General] of the 2nd Palassian army. The saying that ''Edellein is no Thrissiam'' is of concern to the less successful [General] himself.<ref name="7.17S" /> That said, he's known to be good at talent-seeking, having cultivated Comois' talent and being the second general after Thrissiam to incorporate [[Grimalkin Duveig|Grimalkin]]'s student into his army.<ref>{{VERef|10.47 S (Pt. 2)}}</ref>

== Chronology ==
When the [[Frost Wyverns]] were attacking Pallass, Edellein tried to lure them into an ambush, presenting them with a large, seemingly unsupervised herd of cattle ready to take. Instead of gorging on the cattle and being slaughtered by the 4th army and giving Edellein the chance to grab juvenile Wyverns to tame; the [[Frost Wyvern Lord]] launched an attack on Pallass, which was only defended by the 1st army under [[Duln]]. This ambush had been ordered by the Day Strategist - while Edellein had thought it was a good plan, he had also resented the fact that it hadn't been his own.<ref name="7.02" /> Nevertheless, his absence in Pallass' defense was still considered ''his'' fault.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/01/7-04/ Chapter 7.04]</ref>

Edellein was also present when [Grand Strategist] [[Chaldion]] was injured when falling off a staircase.<ref name="7.17S">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/12/7-17-s/ Chapter 7.17 S]</ref>


Eddelin becomes leader of 1st Army and appoints himself strategic leader of Pallas after Duln's death and Chaldion's retirement after the winter solstice battle.

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/26/7-02/ To] his command staff:) “Big Wyverns. I’ve hunted them before, but this is a nest and a half. We’ll keep them from getting airborne. [Mages] in first. Put the rest to sleep, then web them up with enough spells and move in. [...] Pallass could use some [Wyvern Riders]. [...] Prepare me a battalion with nets, hooks, and ropes. [...] We might as well get more than meat and hides and talons out of them. And we’ll have enough hide to outfit an entire regiment! Which 4th Company will naturally acquire. We’re the ones doing all the hard work.”
