Azepus

==Origins of Azepus ==
 
===Background===
Azepus is speculated to have been born in the southern portion under the continent of Urunammu or the northern island of Octolan. Born to the Tribe of the Mahuii, during the time he was born, the tribe was in transition in it's mass migration across the Phagosian-Sphere. 
==Nullarian Spirit==
===From Water to Sand ===
Azepus resided on in the Phagosian Sphere until around 56 B.A., after a tragic natural disaster that flooded the area that he resided in, he assembled a small group to set sail onto southern portion of Rathnir. With the naive knowledge that the land was full of gold and valuable resources. Azepus landed in Chevkri soil at around 77 B.A., it was then where he began his march along the deserts and jungles until reaching the arid desert of the Empire of Uldarash. During this time the group made it their priority in contacting neighboring tribes and communities, with the goal of potentially settling there. Azepus began acquiring power at a rapid rate along the Arid region, trade with valuables from the Phagosian-Sphere were unheard of and valued by the Nullarians. Shortly after the arrival of the Mahuii's in Nullaria, he rose in power, toppling over the original Nullarians in shear strength. Once Azepus and his entourage had consolidated an substantial amount of power in the region, he set his eyes on uniting the region under his domain. Beknowst to him, Azepus had met Zekro, a fellow ruler in the area who shared his same ideas and together they compromised a plan that would unite Nullaria under their reign, turning the spread out region into a prospering state under the Empire of Uldarash.
===Azei-Nul'lari compromise===
On a cold night on approximately 79 TE, the foreign tribe of the Mahuii and Nul'lari met in the middle of Nullarian desert. Together, both Zekro and Azepus formulated a plan to merge their tribes into one, creating the Kingdom of Nullaria under a diarchy system where both Zekro and Azepus will be the figureheads. During these talks, they agree'd to create the city as Nul'lari as the capital, in return, Azepus will be granted the city of Azei. The City of Azei was an old Chevkri town, abandoned and in ruins but would eventually become the urban residential area of Nullaria. To cement Nullarian control across the region, the newly united Nullarian milita conquered and integrated all of the tribes, bringing the region under one flag and one title, on that day The Kingdom of Nullaria was born. 
===Azepus’ development of Azei===
As the Nullaria began to grow, Azepus traveled to the ruined Chevkri town,(present day New Laurentia) and began to rebuild the fallen city. After long hours and hard work, he single-handedly rebuilt the town, establishing farmland, food and materials to distribute across the entirety of the desert state. These accomplishments eventually led to the aggravation of the neighboring Chevkri’s due to alleged jealousy. Chevkri citizens would then accuse the city of Azei to be squatting in their lands, as a result, this brought more tension across the border. While in Nullaria, Azepus was nominated by Zekro to take on the role as King, giving the title as Dual-Monarchy in the state of Nullaria where two kings ruled over the entirety of the small desert state. Azepus’ held many important roles in Nullaria but one of the most important roles as king was concluding the Chevkri conflict. Azepus and Zekro both worked out a compact plan which denounced Chevkri’s claims and officially recognized Nullaria as a state under the Uldarashi government. As Nullaria was proven and officially recognized as a Nullarian state, this led to ill/unfriendly interactions with the Chevkri in its entirety. Both Nullarian and Chevkri citizens would insult each other despite being seperated by a wall. These interactions between citizens were often toxic and very unwelcoming, causing a hostile feud between the two states. This feud would eventually be one of the most destructive feuds to ever occur between two Uldarashi states located just a few chunks away from each other. Almost a month into leadership, both kings resigned and ceded their power to Hinda Sauna. Hinda remained as the Nullarian king until the dissolution in 1/24/2022. 
===Days of Turmoil===
As Nullaria grew, fear of war strengthened across the Empire of Uldarash. As civil war broke out across the nation, Nullaria was left with hardly any choices, so they declared independence in hopes to secure their borders with peace. However, as the Second Empire of Uldarash was able to defeat the Loyalist Uldarash, it began to pivot their attention to the aggressive approach of the King of Nullaria. Hinda Sauna had mutiple controversies, most notably being the insulting of Chevkri by naming a drowned "an average chevkri citizen" and forging an Eldham Entente treaty with Nullaria. These appalling actions led to alleged Chevkri bandits to swarm Nullaria's cities to the point of unsafety. This eventually led up to the horrifying collapse of Nullaria, which began the catastrophic Days of Turmoil. During the days of turmoil, citizens of the former nation were displaced and scattered with little to no resources to keep themselves stabilized. The former kings both gathered together to discuss the plan of the future of the nation, where they agreed to ask the Tovarashi government if they could acquire some land which would house the remaining citizens and provide protection for themselves. After a few days, the Nullarians were given the approval to reside. As Nullarians were sent on ships to find refuge in the nation, Azepus and Zekro formed a plan on how they would establish the state of Nullaria in the foreign region of Sparwood. This plan both designated themselves as Hakim’s of the region.
==Sparwood Development==
===Sparwood Landing===
As ships approached the shores of the Tovarisha, the hope for a new opportunity grew. The Socialist State of Nullaria was formed on the east wing of Tovarisha, both former kings of the once Kingdom of Nullaria were now once again leading the state. While in Tovarisha, Azepus helped aid the growth of the city of Lumnaru and the creation of New Rovisha, bringing the two cities as the fastest growing cities throughout the country. As Hakim, he assisted the growth of the state, bringing the Socialist State of Nullaria into it's short golden age. 
===Downfall of Power===
Although Azepus' efficient and great leadership, the citizens were nostalgic of the past and missed the once great Kingdom of Nullaria. Rumors of coups and treason were also an alarming threat to both Hakims power and the hope for a great state began to dwindle. The Hakim tried his hardest to secure and grow his state however the odds were stacked against him and a member of his own government was alleged to have been staging a coup for power. The rumors of this treacherous crime brought Azepus to lead an independent investigation on Hinda Sauna which proved that she was a direct threat to the safety and security of the state. Azepus brought the evidence to court in which undoubtly questioned the vilay's innocence. Hinda Sauna was found guilty of treason and was promptly removed from her power as Vilay but due to external interference, she was not permitted to be exiled from the state. This caused a large feud between both Hakims and Hinda as untrust grew throughout the state and the country of Tovarisha in whole. A few weeks after the conclusion of the court, Hinda took it upon herself to maliciously attack the Socialist State of Nullaria and grief the city of Lumnaru into oblivion. The grief of the city of Lumnaru was the final blow to the Socialist State of Nullaria as the population decreased to merely 4 citizens. Azepus' hard work and determination had landed himself into despair and regret, his will to continue the Socialist State of Nullaria had concluded. Azepus made it clear that he had no motivation on staying in the Socialist State of Nullaria, so he packed his remaining items and sold the town of New Rovisha. After some time, the remaining Hakim, Zekro, left aswell in the same disbelief and regret that Azepus felt. 
==Voyage of Destiny==
===Voyage to Mahui ===
After the collapse of the Socialist State of Nullaria and the selling of New Rovisha, he began setting up a ship on the western coast of Sparwood, embarking on a journey across the violent seas. With many golds and riches he gained during his expeditions through foreign worlds, he sailed back towards the Phagosian Sphere. Upon arriving onto the shores of Mahui, he was greeted by a tribal society who had grown isolated to the world around them. It is known through textual evidence, the Mahuii's were amazed by the technology and riches that Azepus seemingly brought out of nowhere, especially with little to no knowledge or memory of him. Shortly after his arrival, he reconnected with his some of his close and distant relatives.
