== History ==
=== Early life ===
Maurad began life in the mountainous rainforest region with his two parents and a sister. His family lived atop the mountain of Louhi. His family lived underground to avoid outside contact. They practiced a form of Paganism and praised the land for its shelter and bountiful growth. When Maurad was 14 years old he decided to leave his home on a journey. He explored all various types of cities and towns along the first road he found. Many abandoned and many showing signs of war. Maurad spent 5 years roaming, learning how to barter, and how to craft new materials. When Maurad was 19 years old he returned home to find his mother had died while tending to the family crops. His sister had left a year prior on her own journey just as he had. Maurad helped bury his mother and comforted his father. Only a few weeks later his father passed away leaving Maurad alone. In his grief Maurad tidied the home for some months reliving his childhood memories. He turned 20 years old and left the home he had grown up in and left behind a note to his sister about the events that had transpired and where he decided to go. 
=== From age 20 to 22 ===
Maurad decided it was time to find a new home to settle in. While traveling the roads prior he had heard of an amazing nation called Ahalia. He set forth to find it and hoped to become one of its citizens. A few months later Maurad found the Nation and was invited to live in the Capital city of Jepola. There he met an Economic mastermind named Evarn Valcove. Evarn was a wealthy trader who accepted him into the Capital city of JePola and helped him begin his new life. Soon after his arrival he found himself learning how to brew, make cheese, and he learned the best trade locations. Not too soon after Maurads arrival Ahalia began to grow and became associated with more nations bringing them to the international stage, Maurad decided he needed to do his part in helping along his Nation. Maurad wasn't necessarily good as a soldier and was too new to the nation to participate in politics. So Maurad believed his experience from his travels would suit him well as part of a diplomatic emissary. So Maurad requested to be placed in Diplomatic Service where he was instructed to report to the Ahalian Embassy in Vladigrad. Maurad was asked to assist in the Embassy construction and work under the assigned Diplomat Evarn Valcove. While living and working in Vladigrad, Maurad began to love the City and became friends with the King Theo. During this time Ahalia continued to expand and began claiming land rightfully owned by Ahalia but contested by Altechia. As tensions rose and various nations began involvement it seemed a world war was on the brink, Maurad decided it was time to leave and find his sister before she was involved in the war. Before leaving Maurad took with him the various religious texts of Guenism in preparation for his conversion. Three weeks after his departure from JePola he found his sister wandering the open road where he learned that his sister had not returned home yet. Maurad then took his sister with him back to their family home to clean it once more and mourn their parents passing. At their family home they stayed for close to 4 months. Maurads sister decided to continue her journey once more and find a new land to call home. To this Maurad gave her a map to his home in Jepola and a letter recommending her for citizenship. 
=== From age 22 to Present ===
Upon Maurads return to Jepola he found his home demolished and various building removed. He also found his citizenship had been removed. Maurad confused and betrayed decided to attempt to find Evarn Valcove who would recognize him and hopefully help him learn of what came of his home. Maurad headed to Vladigrad to find the embassy only to find it too had been demolished. From there Maurad decided he was going to begin traveling once more in search of a nation to call home. So, he was hired on as a temporary deck hand aboarded a merchant vessel called The Barden leaving Vladigrad. He sailed with the crew of the Barden across many ports such as Velaenor, Kumura, Leaftopia, Freeport, and finally arriving at the port of VVulthalla. While in Vulthalla Maurad toured the city and was mesmerized by its beauty and intricacy. Despite the seaport being empty the city was host to a Skyport with amazing flying machines that conducted trade far and wide. Maurad said his goodbyes to the crew and applied for citizenship in the city of Vulthalla. The city took him in, toured him around, and allowed him to pick any size land of his choosing in the countryside to build a new home. There Maurad built himself a home of log and stone along a river among the various wheat farms on the outskirts of the city. Soon after completing his home, he found himself in the harber looking out into the bay unsure of what he could do to earn his keep. There a man by the name of Mr. J found him and spoke to him of the vast ships he would build. Mr. J was a shipbuilder in a town without ships or shipbuilding facilities. So, Maurad took it upon himself to build a new fleet of merchant ships and a trade company based in Vulthalla. So Maurad traveled to various ports to appraise their trade value, eventually finding himself at the city of Dinas on the outskirts of Jepola. There he stood reminiscing of the past when a man named Evarn Kericos approached him and spoke to him of his Accomplishments. Maurad unsure if this man was his friend Evarn Valcove or not simply treated him as he would any other person. Evarn Kericos listened to Maurads story and decided to reinstate his citizenship to Ahalia. Evarn then toured Maurad around the cities of Dinas, Jepola, and eventually showed Maurad around all the cities of Vladigrad. Maurad said goodbye to his new friend and returned to Vulthalla to begin work on his first ship. 
=== Maurad's First Company (The Celestial Trade Company) ===
After building the first merchant ship in Vulthalla's port, Maurad set sail in search of locations for shop. Soon after leaving the port he found a unmapped island with a small village. There he found an island with a large sandstone complex that reminded him of his life in Ahalia. Maurad decided that this island would be his Company's Headquarters. This village was named Melovulsala. Saint Zaargon the villages religious leader and village head gave Maurad permission to join the village and build whatever he wished on the island. Maurad then opened the Celestial Trade Company and built a small harbor, Warehouse, and a Guhenist Shrine. Soon after starting the company Saint Zaargon joined the Tythonian Family and changed the Villages name to New Tythonia. New Tythonia grew into a small town as more people started setting on the islands. Maurad has found a new home on an island in the sea. 
=== Maurad's Accidentally a Mayor ===
Not too long after setting into the island, Zaargon decided to retire and abdicate Mayorship to Maurad. Maurad became the sole leader of New Tythonia, where the town grew from a measly 5 players to a minimum of 20 players. New Islands were built, new industries created, and new relationships formed. As the town grew, Maurad decided to disperse some power and assigned Theo as Chief of the Guard and Kacu as Vice-Mayor. Zaargon returned to the town, to build his estate and assisted other public works projects to include the new main island of New Tythonia, future location of the Town Hall and various other public facilities. 
=== Maurad's Life as the Mayor ===
Not long after the Contruction of the Town Hall and other public facilites the town of New Tythonia changed its name to Celestium by popular vote. Maurad led the town to build an additional 4 islands dedicated to public farming, a trade district, Maurad's Estate, and the future location of RickMcRich's Estate. RichMcRich after constructing his home, was soon appointed to become the Minister of City Development. 
=== Maurad Becomes a Count ===
After the fall of the Vulperium, the Federation of Eros is formed with Lord Jesus Regulas becoming Duke Jesus Regulas of the Duchy of Perravul. Maraud who is Mayor of Celestium is assigned to be Count of the Western Region of Perravul, gaining leadership of a new settlement called Puerto Azul, who's Mayer is Kacu, Celestium's Vice-Mayor. 
=== Maurad Joins the Royal Court ===
After the founding of the Federation of Eros, it was decided that all landowning members of the nation would participate in a Nation Government court where they can propose and vote for national policies, the Dukes would approve or deny these voted on policies and sign them into action. Maurad took lead of this court and became a Speaker of the Court.
=== Eros becomes a Monarchy and Maurad a Noble House ===
Eros enters turbulent times, Government leaders begin to retire, many of the Mayors begin to lose citizens, and their towns become abandoned. In an effort to consolidate power so the nation may survive the Federation of Eros becomes the Kingdom of Eros. Queen Coco is then placed in power, with her 3 royal Dukes/Duchesses leading over the various regions. Maurad is then placed into the Royal court as an advisor. Duke ScrollLock of Dejuria also retired leaving the region of Dejuria without a leader. Maurad handed his Mayorship of Celestium to his trusted friend Maddix while Maurad arrived in Dejuria and reclaimed the lost town of Ost-helm. Maurad rebuilt and established a new Spice/Cheese Factory and began recruiting citizens to the new town. During this period he decided to marry his longtime friend and business partner Suziebot and assumed the last name of Jabbar. With this marriage the formation of the Noble House of Jabbar is formed. 
=== WAR with the AWE ===
War is declared by the AWE due to hate and boredom. Word spreads that preparations need to be made, war stock need to be generated, and training of soldiers were needed. Maurad then begins producing War Potions, War Materials, Weapons as fast and efficiently as possible. An XP farm is made, a brewing facility is established. Maurad began recruiting with more drive settled several citizens. ScrollLcok hears of our dire need to assistance to prepare for this war and returns out of retirement to assist. The Kingdom had produced 300 set of war materials with hundreds of barrels of war potions in preparation for the war. With ScrollLocks return, Dejuria once again had a Duke. The first battle of Winterrose was Won by a significant margine as majority of the attacking force did not attack and remained in a defensive position at their city. The war overall would be won by with the assistance of the USSE, Ashai, and the entirety of the Celestial Commonwealth (CC). 
=== Post War with the AWE ===
After the War ended, Maurad moved to Elduria to stabilize that region as best he could. Maurad attended ScrollLock for the business sale of a portion of Eros land for which he had claim. Queen Coco was not pleased with the sale despite receiving a monetary compensation 30% more than the appraised value. After witnessing Queen Coco's reaction ScrollLock, Maurad, and Maddix began to question Queen Coco's loyalty to the nation. It was discovered that Queen Coco had sold off Eldurian land to teh north and did not inform the regional government. In addition, while reviewing nation claims it was discovered that Queen Coco did not provide her stock of war materials to the war effort like all citizens of Eros did. To push matters further, Queen Coco placed a high-ranking government official from another nation into Ero Government communications. The culmination of these events lead Maurad, ScrollLock, and Maddix to establish a united front to ask Queen Coco to stepdown and reform the government. 
=== The Peoples Revolution Against Queen Coco ===
After establishing a united front, ScrollLock, Maddix, and Maurad gathered the materials they would need to last prolonged in a possible war with Queen Coco if she did not choose to listen and negotiate. Queen Coco after receiving the peoples wishes, informed the leader of the CC, who then entered negotiations as a mediator between Queen Coco and The People of Eros. Eventually, a deal was struck and Queen Coco stepped down from leadership and left the nation with her Work in Progress Town of Embergard.
=== The Kingdom of Eros reforms into the Federation of Notos ===
During the reformation it was determined that Maddix, ScrollLock, and Maurad would take up the positions of Dukes for the federation. What was considered the Golden Age of Notos began once again. Towns consolidated, the old capital of Salac was converted into a tourist destination, the Vulthalla Market boomed, and new settlers arrived new citizens joined, The Guhenist Church grew and began to hold services. During this time, Maurad was both Baptized and assigned a Priest position within the Church. 
=== Maurad's Illness ===
Maurad became ill, and was unable to attend to all his meetings, and it was around this time the Golden Age of Notos began to wane, Citizens began to leave, and project placed on hold. During this time, Maurad began having visions from who he believed to be Guhen themselves. These visions hinted at an evil coming, a darkness for him to fight. Then In the second year of Notos (2FNY) a Guhenist Prophet was granted an audience with the 3 Dukes of Notos.  He spoke of a great misfortune that would befall the land, he called it “Vulthallanfell”.
The Prophet proclaimed “Guhen has shown me visions of our near future!  On a moonless night with the loudest rain, the seas will be rough, the monsters in the woods will scream cries of terror.  At the darkest hour, the sky would turn red and a star will fall from the heavens.  The ground will shake, and a vast coldness will spread.  Notos will freeze and all within will disappear.”
The room is silent, no Duke is quick to believe these claims.  Even Maurad a Priest of Guhen is hesitant to believe such a destructive prophecy to be true.
The Prophet continues “Our only hope is that a Grandson of the Dukes of Notos set sail for the worlds end. This man will be a Great King in a new world devoid of the peace and civility we have witnessed here in Eldham. You must send him on his way within the week!”
Maurad, the Duke of Elduria “What new world do you speak of?  There is no other world beyond Rathnir and Eldham!  Have you drank too much old man?”
The Prophet “I have warned you as Guhen instructed.  I have no more to say”
The Prophet’s body then freezes into ice and shatters unexpectantly.  All that is left is a pile of fine powdered ice crystals. 
The Duke’s upon witnessing the Prophets sudden end decide it was a matter of truth.  That day Maddix Regulus, Duke of Perrvaul departed to speak to the head of the Vulper Nabu for insight.  Scroll Kuton, Duke of Dejuria left for Netherrose without speaking a word. Maurad Al Jabbar, Duke of Elduria assembled his family outside Ost-helm to discuss his grandson.   
The Jabbar family assembled in their family property outside of Ost-Helm.  Maurad on his journey from the capital Vulthalla he began offering many prayers to Guhen offering guidance.  That night, Maurad had a dream guided by Guhen.  He was aboard a ship at sea, A terrible storm swayed the ship with large turns, some of the passengers were slipping on a mixture of water, oil, and vomit from those seasick.  He watched 20ft waves crash by the ship.  As he stood at the aft of the vessel, he watched a great ball of fire fall from the heavens and crash into the coast behind him, he could hear the screams and shrieks from the animals and monsters echo across the water.  The tall waves behind the ship begin to freeze instantly creating mountains of icy cliffs.  Maurad shared these dreams with no one and immediately began summoning his loyal friends to the port of Vulthalla. 
At the Jabbar family home, Maurad made the sudden decision, to resign his role to his youngest son and began dividing up his wealth.  He gave the family full access to his accumulated treasured and personal fortune. These actions were received by much shock. 
Suzie (Wife to Maurad) “Honey are you well?  Are you going to die?”
“Suzie, death is coming.  I just think it’s time for me to step away and finally give my family the legacy I built.  Please take and live well”
Suzie looked back at Maurad with concern. 
Maurad then went to his study and began writing letters to various individuals refusing any who came to have an audience. 
=== A Voyage Begins ===
>  *`A week had past since the Prophet appeared before the Dukes.  Mauard al Jabbar in his last act summoned the entirety of Notos including the Dukes to the port in Vulthalla.  Scroll Kuton did not respond to the summons and had in fact not been seen since leaving Vulthalla the week prior.  Maddix Regulus confirmed with the Vulper Nabu that the Prophecy was true and arrived in Vulthalla in the early afternoon.  Maurad and Maddix drank alongside the many citizens of Notos.  Ale and Whiskey was poured all night, there wasn’t a drop of drink left in Vulthalla.  Only Maddix and Maurad knew the profound meaning of the celebration. 
>  *`That night, a storm rolled into the port of Vulthalla, a young man with blond hair and a white cloak was carrying a baby alongside beautiful woman with white hair, reddish skin and a very strong physique, half human and orc.
> These three would arrive under the Jabbar family crest, the rain fell heavy, the sounds of merry townsfolk could be heard inside every tavern.  Many drunk on the edge of the streets.  Few knew the world was coming to an end.  They entered the Sailors Tavern by the deep-water pier. 
> Once inside the building, the Child's Father removed the white blanket that covered his body from the rain and cold, his wife would do the same, and they covered the baby with both blankets.
> A tall man with a full and well-groomed beard, sat perched on a stool at the taverns bar, this man would be brandishing an axe below the counter with the word “A Weapon of my People” carved into the handle.  Next to him sat a Red-Eyed Blonde Man who sat composed, The Bearded One Would Be Maurad Al Jabbar Duke of Elduria, and Red-Eyed Maddix Regulus, Duke of Perravul. 
> [Maurad]-Son! Finally you join us just in time, and I see you bring young Henry!
> [Aramis]-Father! Yes I brought you to see your grandson, but I came to warn everyone, I had a revelation, GUHEN He revealed to me the existence of another world!
The other patrons of the Tavern began to focus on their conversation.
Maddix altered his gaze to meet Maurad
>[Maurad] Son, lets speak in the meeting room.
Maurad and Maddix stood, gathering their weapons, and taking their ales as they walked to a room few would notice located in the fall.  A wooden door, clearly shipped and old hung loosely on its hinges.  All took a seat in worn, wooden chairs liable to collapse under the pressure of a body.  The wood table at the center of the room has seen many years, parts chipped out of it, words craved into it, and parts discolored from past spilt ales.
Maurad took a seat at the head of the table, you could hear the chair crack and crunch under the weight of him and his axe.
> [Maurad]- I know son, I know.  I have prepared four ships for your departure.  You leave first thing tomorrow morning.  Maddix will accompany you, alongside a crew I handpicked myself from my old merchant days.
[Maurad]-...These men are the best you’ll ever sail with and will take you to where the water meets the edge of the world.
[Aramis]-...You speak as if you are not coming with us?
[Maurad]- I fear I cannot follow you to this new world.  Guhen has provided me a task, and one I must not fail. 
[Aramis]- The Jabbars and the rest of the noble houses must join us and pass a seed of hope for the future, with Scroll's disappearance, Angel is the only one left from Kuton family.
[Maddix]-Jesus and I will be with you on this voyage.  The rest have made their choice.
Aramis leans back in his wooden chair, creaking can be heard.  He sighs.
[Aramis]- Is there nothing more to do?
[Maddix]- Drink of Course, you will have a long voyage ahead of you, DRINK!
They all drink through the night.
The Sun rises on the horizon, the light peering through cracks in the wooden wall.  The Room is empty now, empty metal tankards litter the table, a few plates of half eaten bread are left.  Maurad stands alone looking over this long table, recounting the memories he has from that table, his Axe in hand.  Many crucial events occurred in this room, on this table. The independence from Vulperium, the creation of Eros, the drafting of Independence from Queen Coco’s Rule. Maurad then lifts his axe high and with all his power slams it into the center of the table.  The Table does not bow, and does not crack.  It holds the axe firm within its timber.  The writing on the side “A Weapon of my People” can be seen.  Maurad cut his arm in the swing, the blood poured down his arms onto the handle.  With the axe handle soaked in his blood, Maurad releases the axe and departs the room. 
Dawn has come and the ships make their final preparations for their voyage.  A few hours pass and the first ship of the 4 that would follow had began making their way out to sea towards Celestium and onto the new world.
Maddix with Little Henry in his hands Sleeping in his arms.  Only Maddix and young Henry would be embarking on the voyage.  Young Henry didn't know what this voyage and the prophecy would have on his life and the fate of the new world.
Suzie and Maurad, Angel and Eoghlin and Aramis would be sat side by side on the pier watching the ships sail out of view into the horizon.  As the sun rose above the horizon, the City of Celestium could be seen. Mauard would see the sandstone walls of the Merchant Company where he began his life in this country.
