Vōlō Tyrudas I

Vōlō Tyrudas was a human in Abexilas. He was the mayor of multiple towns, operated as a specialized merchant in Talasi, and was a devout follow of the Church of the Violet Sun. His life's work was spent toiling for the betterment of the Holy Kingdom of Staslov as a member of the High Council. His most notable contributions include buildings and architectural works, mass citizen recruitment, and works of art and literature.
== Early Life (299TE - 315TE) ==
Vōlō was born in Rathnir within the city of Iarok. A native Fjelli and member of a powerful noble family, Vōlō’s life in Iarok alongside his brothers Ezāri and Bilī was affluent and comfortable. As children, Vōlō and his brothers had a good relationship and made many memories of exploring out into the Fjelli wilderness surrounding Iarok together. 
Being the firstborn son, Vōlō was given a formal education as well as martial training. Despite his scholarly pursuits later in life, young Vōlō neglected his academic education, and instead was incredibly fascinated by the scales of power. He and his brother Bilī were very similar in this way. The young ambitious boy was much more enthralled by ideas of regimented and disciplined armies on the march, of taking and holding land, and of imposing law and order. So it was that when his younger brothers departed Iarok for a religious education in Castonia, he instead travelled to the war-torn frontier town of Kad’rig. 
== Frontier Education (315TE - 321TE) ==
When Vōlō arrived in Kad’rig, the political situation was in dismay, and casual violence had already broken out. Kad’rig was a city built and populated by Fjellis that was located within the lands of Kranga, a separate state. Under the current arragement, the Fjellis had suffered oppression and threats at the hands of the Krangan government. They began to agitate for reunification with Fjellheim while Kranga pushed for more control. 
It was amidst this political and ethnic struggle that Vōlō cut his teeth and learn the ways of the world. He organized members of his community, defended against raids, and began to learn the citizen recruitment skills that would serve him well throughout life. Under his leadership, Kad'rig began to thrive amidst the chaos. As the city expanded, Vōlō was forced to exert military power outward instead of solely acting in defense. The young man would come to lead warbands on raids into Krangan territory, terrorizing their people, slaughtering their livestock and destroying their houses of culture. Vōlō would come to understand the importance of cultural preservation in this world as he set fire to the relics and pages of the Krangans. Although military action was common, Kad'rig was a prosperous city until news of the comet shook the world.
== Journey To and In Abexalis (321TE – 3TC) ==
Working together with his brother Ezāri and the members of House Staslov, Vōlō and the aristocracy of Fjellheim pooled their resources together to create a great fleet of airships, to carry the Fjelli people away from the doomed world of Rathnir. The journey was wrought with hardship, and Vōlō, like many of the founders of Staslov, bore psychological scars from the hardships endured in the airships. After the daunting journey, the Staslovic air fleet landed in the far south of the world of Abexilas. 
It was here (Winter of 2TC) that House Tyrudas and the rest of the noble houses pledged their allegiance to House Staslov and formed the Holy Kingdom of Staslov [HKS]. The HKS spent around a year in the contact point in the south, a "promised land" to them which they had been having visions about on their way there. Unfortunately they were soon kicked out by an alliance of powers in the area. They fled and landed in the south-west of Talasi in the winter of 3TC.
== Development of Ketsłrok (3TC - 26TC) ==
Sailing north, Vōlō and his compatriots would eventually land on the largest island in Talasi- Mīkh'ōth. Overjoyed by the lush, beautiful environments they found themselves in, the Staslovic settlers rejoiced and proclaimed this island their new home. Vōlō, Ezāri and The Boar of House Kapros travelled to the far west of the island, where the shores of continental Talasi were a short swim away, and founded the gleaming city of Ketsłrok. Working in conjunction, these three men dedicated themselves to constructing a city they could be proud of. Vōlō's chief job was managing the Architecture and Construction of the city, as well as the Recruitment and Employment of citizens. Vōlō would finish construction of the first permanent building in the city in 4TC, the Ketsłrok Hotel.
