Maybe Mama Dwarf and Papa Dwarf had Baby Edowin, and then there was a terrible accident at the mines that left Mama Dwarf a widow, and in time she remarried, only this time to Human Step Daddy. Unfortunately, tragedy struck again and Mama Dwarf was taken away in a freak lightning storm, leaving Human Step Daddy all alone, except for the attentions of the next door neighbor who, in time, became Human Step Mommy.

Over time, Human Step Daddy and Human Step Mommy became the proud parents of Baby Andrick and Baby Brynna, who always looked up to their big step brother, even when they grew tall enough to technically be looking down.

Makes me wonder how long Edowin had been a true soul before that fateful day with the owlbear, and why Andrick and Brynna were so devout in following him?

As opposed to being like, "That's our crazy step brother, Edowin. He thinks he's a true soul."
