Tips and Notes

• Edér will be a returning companion from Pillars of Eternity in which your choices in the first game will greatly affect his current position in Deadfire
• Edér's starting equipment depends on your decision in Pillars of Eternity I to support or to reject his faith in Eothas. Items Edér has regardless of options: Saint's War Armor, a sabre, a medium shield, a war bow, some Whiteleaf, some Potions of Minor Healing and a Stun Bomb. If your choice was to strenghthen Edér's skepticism, he starts PoE II: Deadfire with Dyrwoodan Mayoral Medallion. If he restored his faith in Eothas, he starts with The Night Market Amulet.
