Not so much a background story as a little glimpse into the mind of Eiadric: Likes the open air, grassy plains and green forests. Cares more for the normal wooden buildings of men than the grand halls of dwarves and elves. Would also feel a bit uncomfortable in say, Minas Tirith and other great Numenorian cities. The Golden hall of Edoras is what he considers “grand enough for any man”. More than that is just plain pride. Loves the Shire and the dwellings of Hobbits. If only they weren’t so bloody small. Can sometimes be patronising towards hobbits because of their size. In no way rude (at least not on purpose). He just doesn’t want to see any harm come to them. He loves their extraordinary skill at cooking, brewing, pipe-weed making which leads him to think that they can’t be good at fighting. Curious and in awe of elves. But knows little of their long and deep history. Respects dwarves because of their strength and craftsmanship and shared hatred of orcs. Does not really understand their reclusiveness and greed.
