==Biography ==
===Early Years ===
Ghonost was born to Ghalahra Sprite and Eltara Sprite on the lower deck of a sea elven ship belonging to the Aytala fleet in the summer of the 42nd year of SMP. Ghonost was brought up on the lower deck in a communal fashion with the other children. He, therefore, saw the entire crew as family. As he grew up, Ghonost learned to navigate while at sea, along with the art of woodworking, the latter of which Ghonost would find fascinating. Simultaneously, Ghonost would develop a penchant for playing pranks on his peers, a habit which would earn him the nickname “Ghost”, a nickname he accepted with pride. 
On his 30th birthday, in the 72nd year of SMP, Ghonost would receive the Sprite family heirloom, a large, neon green emerald, a gem he would later encrust into a vambrace of bronze and steel. This would be one of the last interactions Ghonost would have with his parents, as they fell ill and perished shorty thereafter.
At the age of 32, while Ghonost was cleaning the upper deck at night, a storm had begun to brew above the ship. Ghonost, would fail to notice the storm until he was knocked off his feet by a lightning strike, panicked Ghonost grabbed onto one of the ship’s masts. Trying to stay aboard he held on to the mast with all he had in him though ultimately his efforts proved futile, and Ghonost was knocked overboard by a gust of wind, after which he would wash up on the coast of an island in the north.
===Shroom Port Isle===
After washing up on the isle, Ghonost was disoriented by what he had just experienced, as anyone in their right mind would be. After coming to his senses, Ghonost began to explore the isle he had washed up on and found it to be uninhabited. He also discovered that the island was small, with fungi growing upon it, where the grass should be and had mushrooms growing as if they were trees. Although, this was not the case for the isle's northern coast as it had grass and trees. Deciding he quite liked the strange environment, Ghonost chose to stay on the isle for the foreseeable future and named the island 'Shroom Port Isle', making it his base of operations. He would soon start building structures on the island, the first of which was a poorly made wooden dock, after which he started constructing a tower to serve as his home.
===Drak Yamar===
Ghonost would eventually discover that the island was in Edrina, an area within Drak Yamar territory. Fearing being labelled as a "squatter", Ghonost would try to reach out to the Drak Yamar and come into contact with Ronin Bear and eventually become a citizen of the nation. Despite now a citizen of Drak Yamar, Ghonost continued to live in solitude on the island, where he spent most of his time fishing.
Ghonost would later receive an invite to join the town of Vritra from Ronin Bear, though he would neither move into a house nor build his own within the city for the time being. Ghonost would soon restore nearby ruins within the town borders to a liveable condition. Ghonost would later move into the Drak Yamar capital Dragon's Point, in which he constructed a house to serve as his new base of operations, therefore abandoning 'Shroom Port Isle' his previous base.
===Vritra===
Ghonost would go on to inherit the leadership of Vritra from the previous leader, Ronin Bear, during the town's transfer from Drak Yamar to the Sultanate of Kaanyiu, a vassal state of the Uraki Imperium. During Ronin Bear's time as leader, Vritra had suffered a phenomenon known as the 'Ghost Plague', which significantly lowering the town population. Therefore Ghonost would be responsible for restoring the town to its former glory. Simultaneously he would also be ordered by the Kaanyian to reinvent town architecture and improve upon infrastructure . During this period, Ghonost would leave Dragon's Point. Vritra would later fall under the banner of Aurum Solis. While holding the lordship of Vritra, Ghonost would develop an infatuation with brewing and the idea of running a tavern. Ghonost would commision the skilled builder and arcitect Firesword to construct a tavern within Vritra. The tavern would incorporate the refurnished basement of the former lord, Ronin Bear, turning it into an underground brewery. Ghonost would thereafter, delve deeply into the study of brewery. 
=== The Tuberlunde Protectorate of the Dinosaur ===
Ghonost would later be made aware of the king of Aurum Solis', Stridder Braddington, intentions to execute 'the Mossosaurus Rex', who was publicly viewed as the king's youngest child. Ghonost, along with the King's son Prince Reuban Braddington and the warlord Kyrion would therefore come together and form the Tuberlunde Protectorate of the Dinosaur, in the name of defending 'the Mossosaurus Rex'. The three members of the Tuberlunde Protectorate of the Dinosaur would protect the Mossosaurus from the bloody onslaught of King Stridder for four days and nights, before ultimately succeeding in driving back the forces of the king.
=== Populok Skotus ===
Ghonost eventually came into possesion of an artifact known as the 'Populok Skotus', a mystical jack-o'-lantern, which he claims to have received from beings he refereed to as "the Deep Deities", while mining. While the accuracy of these events are disputed, it is known that Ghonost began behaving in an increasingly erratic manner after these events, developing a deep fascination with alchemy and the occult. Ghonost would claim that the 'Populok Skotus' often whispered arcane secrets to him, and was found talking to the jack-o'-lantern on several occasions. These events eventually culminated in Ghonost constructing a shrine to 'the Deep Deities' in the caverns beneath Vritra.
