Editing Meribald (section)

==History== 
Meribald was born and has lived his entire life in the [[riverlands]]. As a boy, Meribald went to fight in the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]] with his brothers. His older brother, [[Willam]], agreed to jokingly take Meribald as his [[squire]]. During the war, however, both Willam and another brother, [[Robin (brother of Meribald)|Robin]], died from a fever. His last brother, [[Owen (brother of Meribald)|Owen]], was killed in battle, and Owen's friend, [[Jon Pox]], was hanged for rape. Meribald may have become a [[Broken men|broken man]] because of this. When Meribald returned to the riverlands, he joined the [[Faith of the Seven]], but used his position as a world-savvy septon to convince young women to have sex with him. He now walks barefoot as penance for these sins he committed as a youth.{{Ref|AFFC|25}}

He cannot read or write, but he knows a hundred different prayers and can recite passages from ''[[The Seven-Pointed Star]]'' by memory, which makes him capable enough to minister the Faith to [[smallfolk]]. For nearly forty years, Meribald has been walking the countryside of the riverlands as a wandering septon in exchange for food and shelter.{{Ref|AFFC|25}}
