== Biography ==
=== Early Life and Education ===
Maravian Althindus Marcomir, also known as Beanboi34, was born to unknown Taloran Artisans in the Audalad city of Urnu-Arrak. As a child, he was fascinated with magic and the study of the arcane arts. Although his family was somewhat wealthy, he was not sheltered from the crowding and impoverishment of the lower class of the city. He vowed to find a way to use magic to cure the plight of people within the city, and bring them to a better life. After refusing his parent's offer for apprenticeship, he went south to be educated within a prestigious academy in Rhodia, under the generous patronage of his friend and superior, Argentus Rochelle, the soon-to-be king of Talor. In Rhodia, Argentus tutored Maravian, becoming one of his lifelong friends and mentors while Maravian helped Argentus to overcome his continuing depression. Over time, Maravian's mental and physical capabilities increased, while his delvings into magical pursuits only deepened. Although he was unable to harness magic to cast spells, he begun to understood the power and mechanics of the arcane arts. Through the tutelage of professors within the university, he began to specialize within the connection between the magic of the world of Rathnir and its effects on geography.
=== Return to Urnu-Arrak === 
After graduating, Maravian returned to his city of birth, Urnu-Arrak. After saying a tearful goodbye to his friends within the college and his close ally, Argentus, he took the galleon passage home. He was stricken by the ever-increasing overcrowding within the city, and made plans to depart and find a place to establish a life for himself. Within the city, he adopted two impoverished children ShnargnTarg and Tboy to bring with him and carry from the harsh cityscape. He travelled south, with his new companions, following rumours of a confluence of magic within the Atsyllean Sea. His journey took him across the region, and his hopes and money reserves dwindled with each fruitless lead.
=== Creation of the Flotilla ===
As his small sloop, piloted only by himself and his two sons, made its way across the cresting waves towards Rhodia, Maravian spotted a storm headed toward their ship, moving at a rapid rate. Before long, the raging tempest fell upon the small craft, with stinging winds lashing at the sails and gargantuan waves threatening to capsize the tiny vessel. Fighting for their life, the newly-formed family struggled desperately against the enraged sea to maneuver the craft towards Kordania. But the wind, which tore rabidly down from the North-West, pushed their vessel back, shredding the sail and cracking the mast beyond repair. Finally, the ship was wrenched up by a wave and cast down into the sea, throwing Maravian and his two children into the sea. Expecting to be destroyed by the turbulent waves, Maravian braced himself for a painful death. Instead, he found himself cocooned by warmth, and a pleasant hum coursing through his ears. He felt himself pulled through the sea, protected by an unknown force. When he opened his eyes, he found himself deposited on a tiny scrap of sand, which glowed warmly beneath his feet. His two children were laying next to him.
