Born to a farming couple on a fiefdom west of Shrewsbury, Embrys was a quiet, unassuming child who did as he told and struggled to stay out of trouble. Trouble followed him, though. As he grew older, people began to react strangely to his presence, to a point where even him parent’s relationships with others was strained. By the time he was five, it was clear to everyone that something was just not “right”. So frustrated with the impact that this unexplainable reaction was having on Embrys and those around him, his parents took him to the abbot of the Shrewsbury Abbey seeking help.
