Adam Al-Alamari

Adam Al-Alamari, known by his username Adam_140 and sometimes by his former noble peerage Adam of Madriyah, is a Bachengart citizen and formerly part of the noble house of Madriyah (formerly Adamiyun). He had been loyal to Alamara since his birth and until it went into disarray as it experienced a massive exodus. He had played an important part in the old country's business affairs, especially in the domain of commerce and domestic finance as he was appointed as the Master of Coin (Economy). Later on, he'd board a ocean-going ferry belonging to Ischanor with whatever money he had remaining before finding himself arriving in the well-established and prosperous walled city of Bachengart.
== Early life ==
Adam was born to unknown parents in Fall of 10 BVE, he would be taken care of by settlers who came and established themselves in what would later be the capital of the Caliphate of Alamara, being a hard worker at such a young age, he would assist in ressource gathering, mining and sometimes micro-decisions that went throught the burgeoning city. He would amass wealth by time, spending countless days prospecting precious metals such as gold and iron, before selling them for a fortune, quickly amassing $120,000 in his networth during such time. He quickly rose through the ranks due to his close connection to the leader Bassim Al-Andalusi, coupled with his early accumulated wealth and his expertise in economics and organisations, for which reason he became the Minister of Coin (Economy) for the Caliphate.
== Building Madriyah ==
In the Summer of 8 VE, and at just the age of 18, Adam would set out to build a fortress, strategically choosing a lakeside area that is a bit hilly and next to a giant dune in order to serve as a beacon of safety for dwelling nomad traders in the Sahara of Iristoya, seperated from Alamara's capital only by a lake. With his wealth finally being put into use, Adam would commission an international construction company he had known from the merchant nomads going by the name S.W Creations in order to take care of his build. Taking a while to be completed, the build would not be finished for another 12 years due to inefficencies in communication, personnel and skill. Nontheless however, the fortress would be completed in 19/06/2024 (Fall of 19 VE), at a cost of $60,000, with a towering fortress looking out the mosques and buildings in Alamara's capital, standing proud and mighty, bearing the name of Madriyah.
On his capacity as a Minister of Coin, he led serious efforts in encouraging the opening of businesses and industry within Alamara, he also led a crowdfunding campaign, althought unsuccesful, it set out important consciousness into the citizens and had seen immense performance in forging and manufacturing war gear for the nation instead of any possible conflict.
=== Iristoya bank ===
In order to make a presence for Alamara financially, he would decide to, after being given approval from the nation leader himself, to open a state-owned commercial bank called the Alamara Bank, initally seeing no action, and under great advice from a renowned consultant, the bank would go through rebanding its name to Iristoya Bank, this would improve the standing of said bank, attracting customers from within the nation and other Alamara-allied nations such as the Wyverndom of Malachite and the Valdic Union.
However, the entreprise would not yield much sucess, heavy competition from private international banks coupled with dwindling motivation and a lack of interest would set themselves as the primary reasons for the neglect and closure of the bank somewhere in June 2024 (Spring of 15 VE-Fall of 22 VE).
== House of Madriyah ==
Adam would later meet with individuals whom he considers as family, and would create a strong bond with, and believing they could be a great acting force if united, they would declare the creation of the House of Adamiyun (later changed to House of Madriyah, as they chose the fortress-castle as headquarters). They would later on be recognised and given royal eerage by Bassim, Caliph of Alamara, portraying themselves as one of the 3 noble houses within the nation alongside the Andalusi and the Thalji Houses.
However, as years passed, the House of Madriyah alongside the other two dynasties would find themselves parting ways and suffering from neglect, this would cause several members of the house to become estranged with one another, leading up to the great neglect of Alamara.
== Neglect and migration ==
=== Great neglect of Alamara ===
The Caliphate of Alamara was once a beacon of prosperity and culture, renowned for its flourishing cities, bountiful lands, and enlightened leadership. At the heart of this thriving realm stood the grand castle of Madriyah, the ancestral seat of the Madriyah family, with its towering spires and impregnable walls symbolising the strength and stability of the dynasty. As the years passed however, complacency began to seep into the heart of the Caliphate. Bassim Al Andalusi, content with his past achievements, grew increasingly detached from the affairs of the state. The once vigilant eyes turned a blind eye to the growing signs of decay and neglect.
The bureaucratic machinery slowed down, corruption seeped into the administration, and infrastructure fell into disrepair. The once-thriving cities of began to stagnate, and the people grew discontented. Amidst this growing malaise, the Caliphate's neighbors took note of the opportunity presented by the Alamara's waning strength. Sensing vulnerability, the Wyverndom of Malachite began to encroach upon the Caliphate's neglected borders. Small skirmishes turned into larger incursions, and before long, entire provinces were lost to foreign control. Among these abandoned territories was the prised castle of Madriyah, the symbol of Adam's former glory.
Adam Al-Alamari's castle, now a shadow of its former self, stood as a silent testament to the Caliphate's decline. Weeds grew in the once immaculate gardens, and the halls that once echoed with the voices of courtiers and scholars were now filled with an eerie silence. The castle, left unguarded and forgotten, became an easy target for the encroaching powers. As foreign banners were raised over Madriyah's towers, the Alamara Caliphate was forced to confront the reality of its decline. The loss of the house of Madriyah's ancestral home marked a symbolic blow to the Caliphate's prestige and morale.
=== Migration to Bachengart ===
As the once-proud Alamara Caliphate continued to crumble, Adam Al-Alamari found himself standing in the shadow of his forsaken castle, Madriyah. With a heavy heart, he gathered whatever possessions he could salvage: an enchanted set of Alamari armor, a few chests of riches including diamonds and iron, and prepared to leave his homeland behind. He made his way to the bustling harbor, where the ferry bound for the distant realm of Ischanor awaited. The ferry, a sturdy vessel belonging to the Empire of Ischanor, stood anchored at the dock, its sails billowing gently in the breeze. The air was filled with a mixture of anticipation and sorrow as refugees from various parts of Iristoya gathered, each carrying their own tales of fallen territories and lost glory. 
Adam joined the throng of thirty-one other passengers, all seeking a new beginning in the promising lands of Ischanor. The ferry's deck was crowded with people clutching their meager belongings, their faces etched with a blend of hope and despair. Families huddled together, whispering words of reassurance to one another, while lone travelers like Adam stared out at the horizon, lost in their thoughts. As Adam waited for the ferry to set sail, he couldn't help but notice the diverse backgrounds of his fellow passengers. There was an elderly couple from the north, a group of traders from the coastal regions, and a young mother cradling her infant, her eyes filled with determination. Despite their differences, they were united by a common thread: the desire to escape the ruins of their past and seek a brighter future.
The crew of the ferry, seasoned sailors from Ischanor, moved efficiently among the passengers, ensuring that everyone was settled and the cargo was secure. As the final preparations were made, Adam found a spot near the stern of the ship, where he could keep a watchful eye on his belongings. The chests of diamonds and iron were safely stowed, and the enchanted Alamari armor, a relic of his family's proud history, was carefully wrapped in cloth to protect it from the salty sea air. With a series of shouted commands and the creaking of ropes, the ferry slowly pulled away from the dock. The passengers crowded the rails, watching as the familiar shoreline of their homeland receded into the distance. Tears mingled with smiles as they bid farewell to the past, their eyes fixed on the unknown future that lay ahead.
The journey across the sea was long and arduous, filled with stories of hope and despair. The passengers shared their tales of loss and resilience, finding solace in the knowledge that they were not alone in their struggles. Adam, too, opened up to a few fellow travelers, recounting the rise and fall of the Alamara Caliphate and his own personal journey. As days turned into weeks, the ferry finally approached the shores of Ischanor. The sight of the Archduchy of Bachengart, with its grand walled city standing as a beacon of stability and opportunity, filled the Adam with renewed hope. The city's towering walls and greenery were a stark contrast to the decay and desertous landscape he had left behind.
As the ferry docked, Adam gathered his belongings and stepped onto the crowded pier. The air was filled with the sounds of merchants hawking their wares, the clatter of carts, and the shouts of dockworkers unloading ships. The energy of the port was infectious, and Adam felt a spark of hope ignite within him.
Navigating the busy streets, Adam made his way toward the city gates. The walls of Bachengart loomed overhead, imposing and formidable, yet welcoming. As he approached the gates, he marveled at the intricate carvings and the sturdy construction that spoke of a city built to withstand the test of time.
Upon entering the city, Adam was struck by the vibrancy and order that permeated every corner. The streets were lined with shops, inns, and workshops, each bustling with activity. The aroma of freshly baked bread and roasting meats mingled with the scent of exotic spices, creating a tantalizing blend that reminded him of the markets of his homeland. Seeking to rebuild his life, Adam made his way to a modest and cozy house provided by the Bachengart Minister of Economy Karnacht, whom Adam had previously met. The two-story house was small but comfortable, a haven of stability in a world that had been turned upside down. With a roof over his head, Adam set out to find employment, determined to make the most of this new beginning.
His search led him to the Crimson Bank, one of the most prestigious financial institutions in Abexilas. Drawing upon his administrative skills and experience, he quickly earned a position as an accountant. The remote nature of his work would earn him comfortable work environment, sending and receiving work orders of balance sheets and withdrawal and deposit requests through courier service in Bachengart City.
