== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Stovian grew up in Fornost of the Second Empire of Uldarash. Here he was told stories and legends of how many people suddenly appeared in Rathnir. Of a world named Jagdas and how calamity befell it. Stovian felt curiosity and wonder towards these stories, making it his dream to discover more.
In his early adulthood Stovian decided to dedicate his life to the search for answers. Answers to Jagdas, the people who fled, and how they did so. Though he immediately encountered a road block. There was little to no books, scrolls or even papers covering the matters. Asking people of the town met him with skepticism and doubt that the legends were true. He realized then that he would have to leave home. Seek knowledge where it was plentiful. So Stovian began his journey, leaving behind Fornost at the age of 17.
=== First End Portal Discovery ===
After 5 years of searching, reading, and asking scholars and historians. Stovian found nothing significant to further his search. It was crushing, the history was either kept secret, it was not recorded well in Uldarash, or they were simply stories. He decided to prepare to leave Uldarash and travel to Alteniquia. Where Yimmu-Audal is located, supposedly the nation that escaped from Jagdas. Just before casting off Stovian heard from fishermen that a small island in the West of the Rough Sea had some strange structures under water. The island was on the path to Altenipuia, so he charted a course to include it.
He cast off that day, in hopes to find more in Yimmu-Audal. Although his journey took an unexpected turn when he finally arrived near the small island. What he thought would be simple structures of the drowned, was actually what he was searching for. The stone bricks and architecture were unmistakable, a rumored Stronghold. Said to hold an End Portal. Stovian landed as soon as he could, beaching his small boat. A small purple tent was erected, and then he began to dig. Low and behold, as the day reached it's end he found it. Stovian Tennyth stood at the steps to one of the oldest structures known to Rathnir, an End Portal.
=== Alaar ===
With the End Outpost in a livable state, Stovian was in need of supplies. He sent ads out to the nearby lands, though only one responded and within a timely manner. Someone named Gem Alai from Alaar. Stovian set out and traveled there by boat. After arriving at Alaar, Gem offered to assist Stovian, be it simple supplies or a place to stay. After receiving what he needed, Stovian chatted with Gem about Alaar. To his surprise, Gem revealed that under Alaar hid an End Portal. Stovian was ecstatic. Two portals in such a short amount of time discovered? Stovian accepted Gem's offer and started to settle into Alaar. With this, he had access to two portals, as well as meeting a new friend.
Many years go by. Stovian commits to Alaar and helping it develop. Getting involved in their local government and building. The head architect, Atlas Tuaylaai, helped Stovian realize his potential as a terraformer. Using magic and magical tools, he helped design and raise the Great Cliffs of Alaar. In this time buildings, bars, and markets were created in Alaar. Ever growing in size. Among these Stovian founded the Enchanted Eye, a magical tool and gear shop. With it he was able to help fund and support the efforts towards the development of Alaar.
=== Disappearance ===
During Fall of 123 TE, Stovian vanished. He left without saying anything to anyone anywhere. For 146 years, it stayed that way. There were supposed sightings of a figure who looked similar to Stovian over the course, but nothing concrete.
After these 146 years passed, on the Winter of 269 TE Stovian returned. Supposedly he heard that Alaar was waking up. He slowly faded away to his own devices as his home Alaar slowly began to fade. Although this changed when Lynyk Alai, adopted son of Gem Alai, managed to get Stovian's attention via a note. Lynyk was waking up Alaar, in hopes to bring it back to it's prime. Stovian came out of hiding to help Alaar flourish once again.
== The Search for End Portals ==
Stovian would travel by foot and boat following Eyes of Ender to strongholds, and word of mouth to hidden portals. Eventually, a total of 14 End Portals would be found and recorded for public knowledge. Stovian's search was complete, but his journey was not. For the portals were found, their purpose was still hidden. So, it was time to head home to Alaar and his End Outpost to start his research and experimentation on the portals.
=== Entropy's Pit to the Void ===
During Stovian's experiments with the End Portals, he found that Eyes of Ender were attracted towards End Portals. With the discovery he noted that this provided the opportunity to search for the rest of the End Portals in Rathnir. In this time he also met an adventurer named Mimek, also searching for the portals who happened across his End Outpost. This was only a simple encounter, but they would share their discoveries with each other over time.
One of the first End Portals Stovian found on this quest was paired with a strange place. A pit to the void surrounded by floating signs encased in solid air. Stovian introduced Mimek to the area, he was interested and wanted to try to decipher the strange symbols. As they were investigating, Athaz the Traveler announces himself as they arrive through a cave. His appearance was surprising, but helpful. Athaz told the story of this place. The pit and the symbols were left by Entropy when she first began to influence Rathnir. Soon after departing the information, the 3 left.
=== The Secret of Fornost ===
One day, Stovian received a tip from an acquaintance. That the city he grew up in, Fornost, had an End Portal underneath its land. It couldn't be true, Stovian thought. He spent his early life in Fornost without finding any evidence of its existence. So he decided to return to Fornost. Things are different now, he's more experienced. He knows where to look, who to ask, and to be persistent.
Arriving at Fornost, no one knew what Stovian spoke of. An End Portal, under Fornost? Absurd. Although while near the gates to the inner city, Stovian was calling up to the guards to see if they knew anything. To his surprise, King Aurelian Aurorii himself looked over the parapets down at Stovian. The King was interested that Stovian knew, with confidence, that there was an End Portal under Fornost. He invited him inside the castle to discuss the portal.
Stovian was welcomed back into the city, but unfortunately unable to receive permission to access the portal. The King thought it too dangerous, unknown. So the grounds were off limits to all but a select few. Stovian was offered to help the king investigate the other portals, which he accepted. Though Stovian couldn't accept being prohibited from seeing the portal. This was simply another hurdle, he has infiltrated many locations to see the portals. This was no different.
Against the Kings will, Stovian slipped into the Stronghold and found the secret End Portal of Fornost. Then he fled the city that night.
== Argos and The End Outpost ==
Stovian encountered Argos and one of its founders, Valerion, while developing the End Outpost. Stovian agreed to merge his outpost into Argos to avoid complications. He would continue to develop the outpost as Argos had its own story to tell.
=== The Oblivion Coalition ===
During the 146 years Stovian was gone, an organization established itself in his old outpost. They call themselves The Oblivion Coalition. A secretive group which investigates, researches and contains anomalies in Rathnir. Founded by The Technician(previously known as MrSe7en).
While in hiding, Stovian discovered what they had done to his home without his consent. This caused Stovian's mood to sour and slide deeper into his seclusion. His first home was taken from him, and his second home of Alaar was in a deep slumber.
It took time to forgive what had happened. But Stovian eventually became more involved with The Oblivion Coalition after his return. He hopes to continue to use his old outpost for more research. Even if it looks different and is no longer fully under his protection.
