Pika Bolodrav (Lirgal)

== Tecqila Bolodrav ==
=== The early days (age 1-14) - Troubled Childhood ===
Tecqila Bolodrav (von Alfen at the time) was born to Delta Von Alfen and Alice Von Alfen Luon in their castle on the outskirts of Chervonstad which, at the time, was a small settlement in the Uldarash Empire. His early days were spent very much with his mother, for his father, Delta was the Prime Minister in Alfheim. He was very highly educated for his age and often impressed many visitors by his knowledge at such an early age. The residency, also known as the Alverian Castle was a medium-size castle with much garden space and fields to the east. These gardens were the very place Tecqila learnt skill such as archery, horse riding and many foreign languages. At the vulnerable age of twelve, whilst he was playing in his much-loved garden, his mother, Alice was ambushed by three Auroran soldiers and kidnapped. This was a disaster for such a young person, who knew not much more of the world than the walls of his castle, it led him into a deep state of sorrow which he struggled to get out from for the following two years of his life. At the still “weak” age of fourteen, he sent four soldiers, by his own command, to raid the palace of Aurora in secrecy, under the cover of the darkness on this very cold and brittle winter night. The outcome found him in shock; for his mother was drowned in a frozen lake after being pushed into it by a drunk inn owner. As a response to this horrific news, he ordered the same be done to the Queen of Aurora. This attempt at her life failed causing outrage in Aurora. Due to this, Aurora militarized their army.
==== Teenage Years (14-18) - Skirmishes and War ====
The next thing to take place would leave a mark on Tecqila for decades to come. The Auroran soldiers arrived at the gates of Sagan Tosu, and laid siege. It was a brutal two weeks of combat in and out, causing many food shortages and leaving many dead. Soon after, word spread around the Empire of Uldarash and with the time being considered right, war was declared. This was the start of the Uldarash civil war. His father, being prepared for this, sent Tecqila out to the far lands of Viodoxa where he did not spend long. He was forced out after claims that he was plotting to overthrow the government sprung and inevitably lead to him being considered an outcast by the people of Viodoxa. Upon his return, things were still very much unsettled. Despite there being no hand to hand combat, this had now begun a war of breaking the enemies from the inside. Delta, after a wildly successful reign of Alfheim , stepped down from being the Prime Minister and decided to teach Tecqila the ways of politics and to show him the outside world. He was a quick learner, and by the age of sixteen, had now become the Minister of Economy in Alfheim. This was a huge undertaking for him, and therefore much pressure was being exerted on his shoulders. Despite all the setbacks, he got off the mark rather impressively and with his newly found fame and popularity, he founded Von Alfen Brews alongside his two Brothers Marcel and Jan who had always been supporting him. At first, the scale was small, but with time came a large new brewery under the streets of Chervonstad and far more experience in brewing. He was able to create potions with effects so useful they were drunk all across the world to boost mining and the harvest of materials. Delta, although already immensely proud, still thought that his brightest son would be able to produce himself the same level of glory as his predecessor. By the time he was eighteen, he had boosted the Alfheimi economy without fail leading to a housing boom in Chervonstad with hundreds flocking to take advantage of this new hub for the economy. Though, the great and simple times did not last.
===== Early Adulthood (18-21) - A promise of Hope =====
When he turned twenty-one, he finally resigned as the Minister of Economy and decided he needed a break. A very long break at that. He set off north , then east and reached the lands of Lirgal after many months at sea and on horseback. This place was magical, almost as if it was from a fairy tale. He stayed in Lirgal for three years, becoming a close friend to Ewatomi, the founder of the land, and grew a strong liking of the culture and people of Lirgal. He set on many adventures with these people, and explored corners of the world not many had seen at the same point in time. It was a very enjoyable and relaxed part of his life, due to very little pressure being put on him. He expanded his brewing company to foreign lands, such as the Sanctuary and Lirgal too. Now, he received a message of his father leaving Alfheim to join Boulderov, another nation in the second Uldarash Empire. He had been promised a town and a high ranking position within the government. It all came at one cost. He had to change his name. He accepted it with flying colors and now the House of Von Alfen ceased to exist. Now Tecqila’s name was Tecqila Bolodrav. With this, he emigrated alongside his father down south.
