James Antiana-Hrafn-Yel Voal-Dracov

== James Antiana-Hrafn-Yel Voal-Dracov ==
James Antiana-Hrafn was born in the year 45 PGZ in the Great Port City of Myrkira, the main residence of his noble family, where he was raised by Virusian Antiana II and Berit Eldwin Yel-Voal. He was the eldest of six children, whom only of which he and his second eldest brother, Johann Antiana-Hrafn can recount being raised by their parents.
His birth was a sign for good fortune for his parents, who were previously unable to conceive children due to the nature of Virusian Antiana II race and existence as a nautical. This was solved through a ritual using the blood of the deceased head of House Antiana, whom had adopted Virusian Antiana II, making the current members of House Antiana related to them by blood.
His appearance carries qualities from both his parents, inheriting the flowing brown hair of his mother, of which he ties back as traditional of the Knights of Myrkira, and darkened brown eyes of his father. He is noted to be particularly similar to previous members of House Antiana in terms of his visage and build, though this usually hidden beneath his inherited suit of Nauticals from his mother which he wears frequently
He is currently the head of House Antiana and has four children. He currently resides in the new holding of House Antiana, Dirlath, which is located in the Korlenten Sarinzerilin, a successor to The Second Simulami Empire.
=== Early Life ===
During the early stages of James' life, he experienced many drastic changes which had a permanent change on his outlook on life. The first of these events was his father, Bertrum Eldwin Yel-Voal's death. His father was found dead on one of the large ships in Myrkira after a large storm in which he went missing, a sword wound in his chest and long being dead before they found him. This left Virusian Antiana II, now Antiana Yel-Voal, distraught and this combined with the stress of now having to take care of her six children by herself triggered the curse of the Nauticals. This led into James' second tragedy which involved the slow death of his mother due to her curse. Fortunately, she was given some months in which she allowed the adoption and future care of her children by their close friends, House Hrafn, through the members of Hawk Dracov and Jaycob Hrafn. This was a significant action as it meant their children would not only be related to two royal houses but serve as a method to ensure the continued close relations and vassalisation of Fedherakaan.
Shortly after the death of Virusian Antiana II upon the Grand Tower in the Great Port City of Myrkira, James and his siblings were taken care of in the capital of the Simulami Empire, New Jellhem. In the capital, James and his siblings would live in the House Hrafn manor, where they were educated and taken care of by many House Hrafn members, including their parents and most notably Felöks Zeno Hrafn, the current Imperare of Simulami during the time.
At the age of 13, James was sent to the university of Nuvallen in Rathnir in order to study and be an ideal head of House Antiana. During his stay there, he met many scholars and fellow students who influenced his views on foreign nations, later leading him to expand House Antiana to multiple nations in Abexilas. A significant event during his stay at the university was meeting his future wife with which he would later have four children with in Abexilas.
By the age of 20, he had completed multiple courses including, Politics, Trading and the economy of Simulami, Warfare and Governance of cities. The completion of his studies along with both the political unrest in Stormgova and a long separation from his siblings led to his decision to return to New Jellhem and attempt to ease the tensions led by his father, against the current Harskare of Stormgova and James' cousin, Elizabeth Hrafn, as well as reunite with and protect his younger siblings that he had not been able to communicate with often due to the distance between Nuvallen in Rathnir and New Jellhem in Eldham. 
=== Unrest in New Jellhem ===
When James returned to his home and family in New Jellhem, he was distraught to find the actions of his father against House Hrafn and his father's role in initiating the chaotic Stormgovan Civil War. This resulted in James developing a resentment towards his father who placed James and his siblings in an extremely dangerous position due to them residing in the House Hrafn manor in New Jellhem which was occupied by those loyal to James' cousin. After a joyful reunion with his siblings and members of House Hrafn, including a small feast and celebration, James finally once again lived in the House Hrafn manor.
James considered the options that could protect him and his siblings and planned on leaving the manor with his siblings to return to House Antiana's residence, the Great Port City of Myrkira. However, before he and his siblings could leave he was consulted by Imperare Felöks who, after some discussion, had secured James and his siblings safety in the capital as well as allowing them to stay neutral in the conflict. Due to this, James and his siblings remained in New Jellhem, and despite his stance as neutral in the conflict, he helped write articles in the Aspid with another of his cousins, commenting on his father's actions, before leaving shorlty due to his cousin's negative views on all war and lack of support for the current Harskare of Stormgova.
=== The Myrkiran Fleet ===
After a few years residing in the House Hrafn manor, James and his siblings decided to leave New Jellhem for Myrkira due to the increasing conflict in Stormgova and and the announcement of a great disaster soon to occur upon the worlds of Rathnir and Eldham. James and his siblings were met with a grand celebration in the city with it's residents finally being reunited with House Antiana, though they had been managed by James from New Jellhem ever since his return from university and before then by members of House Hrafn. However, their residence in the Great Port City of Myrkira was not be very long. As the comet of Iristor neared the lands of Rathnir and Eldham, James with Imperare Felöks planned for the journey of the Simulami people to the world of Abexilas, with James leading the Myrkiran fleet which contained artefacts and valuables while the main fleet would contain a large portion of the Simulami population. Despite these plans, there were many who doubted it's existence or chose to remain in their homes, settling for an assured death in the homes they had owned for generations than a more painful possible one by starvation or drowning during the voyage. During a speech, three members of House Antiana decided to remain in Myrkira to look after these people, in the hopes that the comet of Iristor was indeed false but more likely choosing to die with their citizens. Despite this shocking announcement, James still had to lead the Myrkiran fleet and with a grand departure from the docks of city, James, his remaining siblings and a majority of his citizens left.
=== The Voyage and the creation of Dirlath ===
The Myrkiran fleet was to follow the main fleet led by the Imperare to Abexilas but after a long storm, they lost sight of the main fleet, leaving them travelling without a guide for weeks. During this time, James' faith in Solaris began to waver as he saw how the courage of his men with faith sustained then more than just prayers. This shift in his faith was solidified by the appearance of the Great Deer who led the Myrkiran fleet towards the direction of Abexilas, aiding the Myrkirans as it once had thousands of years ago. This event made the whole of House Antiana shift from faith in Solaris to a return to the main religion of Myrkira, praising the Great Deer. The guidance of the Great Deer led the Myrkiran fleet to the lands of the newly created Korlenten Sarinzerilin and its first town, Dirlath. After meeting with the Imperare, James was given Dirlath as his new town to govern under House Antiana, acting as their new place of residence. During this time James also married his wife with many of the remaining House Antiana members also beginning to marry other nobles.
=== The expansion into foreign nations ===
James with his wife travelled across many foreign nations, mainly visiting those with good relations with the Korlenten Sarinzerilin such as Velarim and Barakor Stasrikos Lhah, having three more children in Velarim, Vivian Antiana-Hrafn, Alexi Antiana-Hrafn and Cecil Antiana-Hrafn and extending the influence of House Antiana to foreign nations. James then returned to Dirlath with his wife once his children had grown and before his departure he had been able to enjoy and celebrate the election of Vivian Antiana-Hrafn to Prime twice in Velarim as well as spend time with his other children Alexi and Cecil. Upon his return, he brought his youngest daughter to Dirlath in order to raise her to govern it while also meeting with other House Antiana members.
