= The Life of a Wanderer =
TTB is a man lost in time, wandering the worlds of Rathnir, Eldham, and beyond. He grew up in Eldham on the continent of Serrona learning from his father about mercantile trade and logistics. When William’s family eventually passed, he began to wander the lands with the items from his father’s shop. He traveled from Southern Eldham to Northern Rathnir, becoming a member of the town of Orilin and making fast friends with the mayor named Lagginear. However, Willam’s itch for adventure could not be satisfied, so giving his goodbyes to the people of Orilin traveled to Haven and joined the Kingdom of Nebula. 
= The Yellow Menace =
William Vulkan grew up on the Continent of Serrona in Eldham with his Father, mother, and younger brother, Luckas Vulkan. William’s father was a Merchant while his mother was an architect, most of his time was dedicated to helping his father in the shop and learning about mathematics and logistics. While Luckas’s time was spent with his mother, learning about construction and architectural design.  
During a Summer Day late at night William and Luckas were working on their respective schoolwork on the second floor of their family shop when they heard a loud slam of the front door. Normally this would be a usual occurrence but at this late at night? Luckas, not wanting to work on homework, went to investigate while William, after some deliberation, followed his little brother. As they both crawled down the stairs making sure not to land on any creaking steps, they reached the bottom and hid behind a stack of barrels full of apples. Looking towards the counter William could see his father behind the counter with an object that emanated a purple glow, he could see another figure as well, covered in rags and a hooded cloak. The father asked what the figure needed but it did not respond, it just stood there ominously, it did, however, place a black cube on the table that caused the room to tremble and shake. Just then a bolt of piercing white light shot towards William and Luckas, hitting Luckas directly and grazing off William. When this happened Luckas’s hair became a blinding white while his eyes turned into a deep dark. William, however, had a different effect, William’s once crimson red hair turned bright gold and his eyes which used to be a Bright blue turned into a chocolate brown. Desperately William tried to wake his little brother, but when he went to shake him awake, Luckas went limp. The hooded figure stood over the brothers’ father searching for the item that emanated the purple glow, when he eventually found it, the figure left a piece of paper on the counter that read “laudamus Taraxacum, mortem proditoribus'' Praise the Dandelion, death to traitors written in front of a Yellow Dandelion. 
= Old Secrets, New Adventures =
Years had passed since the death of William’s brother and father, he had had to work tirelessly to pay for the shop that his family had owned, his mother overcome with grief had gone into a deep depression after the death of her husband. He desperately looked through all of the books in his school’s library for anything related to the saying on that paper the hooded figure had left. But it was all for naught, he couldn’t find anything about this strange saying or the identity of the hooded figure. This all changed however when one day William was helping his mother around the house she told him that she had to talk to him in her room. He sat on a small chair while she took a seat on her bed opposite of him.  
“William, as you know your father has owned this shop for years, You may not know however how he came to own it. He grew up in another land, this land was called Rathnir and it is considered to be a whole other world. When your father was about your age he wanted to do more with his life than just work the land with his family. So he decided to travel to the country known as Bardonia and join their military. For years he trained and toiled to be welcomed into the ranks of the Bardonians, eventually, he had his chance to prove that he was just as good as the other soldiers. The commanding officer told him to raid and pillage the Lands of Eldham to disrupt trade and progress of the nation in the world. But when he eventually made it to Eldham, he couldn’t bear to take the lives of innocent people. So he left his military life and married a rather pretty woman if I do say so myself.``  
William chuckled, he had so many questions now, what is Bardonia? Why had they wanted to murder his father? Where is Rathnir?  
“Your father had saved these from his past life, now I think that they may help you.”  
She then opens a chest next to her bed, in it, there is a diamond sword, a shield, and a diamond helmet.  
“You shouldn’t stay here, there is nothing left for you. Go off and find adventure, meet new people, help those that keep evil away!” As she says this William’s mother begins to cough aggressively, “I will be just fine here.”
“I can’t just leave you.” 
“I will be fine, I have a family that will take care of me.” 
She coughs even harder and eventually lies down on the bed. 
“I will find who did this, and avenge our family, I promise!” 
William then grabs some rations, along with a tent and bedroll, and leaves his hometown destined to find who killed his father and brother, and avenge them. 
= New lands, New faces =
As William traveled the Land of Rathnir, he met many people and places. He eventually stumbled on the Country of Andorn and came to stand in front of the town of Orilin. As he knocked on the front gate he heard a Voice from the other side. 
“Who goes there?” 
“I am a traveler, I mean no harm.” 
“Well, you’re welcome here, as long as you help around the place and don’t kill anyone.” 
“I promise to you that I won’t harm anyone unless they deserve it.” 
After a few seconds, the gate opens and William enters the bustling community. Vendors cover the streets, while citizens walk in every direction, As William follows the guard that lets him in he begins to ask him questions. 
“So what brings you here to our Humble village?” 
“I’m looking for a place to belong, and a man that has wronged me.” 
“I've heard that plenty of times, we get a lot of adventurers through here, oh I almost forgot.” 
He reaches his hand out toward William in a very energetic fashion, “Lagginear, nice to meet you!” 
Several heads dart toward Lagginear looking to see what the loud noise was, William returns the gesture but with much less energy 
“William Vulkan.” 
“A pleasure.” 
A few months pass, Buildings are constructed, friends are made, and all is well. William wakes up in a small home that was given to him by Lagg, as he walks out the door he is awoken by the voices of talking shopkeepers and the morning light. Making a living as a worker for hire he checks the newly built Notice board for any jobs, after skimming through the pieces of paper he here’s a sudden scream followed by a loud thud coming from the village gate.  
= Mean Green Killing Machines =
Rushing over to Lagg who fell from the gate he sees that there is an arrow that has been lodged inside his chest. 
“What happened?!” 
“G-Goblins at the main... Gate....” 
Desperately William tried to save his friend but it was too late the poison from the arrow had already entered his system. 
“Don’t go!” 
“It’s my time Will, you have to do what I can't” 
“anything!” 
“Warn the people...get to the main gate and ring the warning bell..that is the signal for our troops” 
Lagg’s eyes began to turn a swirling green, William knew he was losing his comrade. 
“Don’t worry, I'll save your people” 
Thanks, Will... you were aalways..a..good..freeeiiinndddd” 
Lagg died in William’s arms, he had to fulfill his wish and save Orilin. 
As he grabbed his war gear and began his climb up the winding towers of Orilin’s gate he could see through the arrow slits a tide of green and fire covering the plains outside, after reaching the top of the tower, William saw the colossal golden bell hanging above a rope adjacent to it to ring the bell. Running towards the alarm, three goblins clad in stolen Bardonian armor climb the gate and vault to the top of the portcullis right in front of Will. One unsheathes its sword and charges William, Fueled with rage he unsheathes his sword and stab’s the goblin in the neck, The second goblin uses this time to slash William’s shoulder and leave a gaping wound William however spins around and cleaves the foe in two. The third goblin pulls out a crudely made bow and fires an arrow toward him, the arrow pierces his leg causing him to scream out in pain before throwing the goblin over the gate. Bruised and injured William hobbles toward the bell and proceeds to ring the bell alerting the townspeople. A bloody battle commenced leaving chaos and anarchy in its wake, when the battle ended the citizens held a funeral to honor Lagg and all of the others who lost their lives.
= A Not So Safe Haven =
After a few months of repairing the village William once again set off to find a place to call home. Traveling southward through the empire of Huitca he eventually found a little pond in a bamboo grove to rest and recover. While lying under the canes of green, Will was woken up by rustling outside his tent. Crawling out of his tent he peers over towards where the noise was coming from, suddenly he was grabbed from behind and choked out until he was unconscious. Dazed and confused, William looked for this mysterious attacker,
“Oi Boss, the runt is coming around”
Looking up from the ground he could get his bearings better;
He saw four figures all wearing chainmail and wielding scimitars, he also noticed that he was tied to a piece of bamboo on his knees.
“Who are you? What do you want?”
The attacker that looks to be their boss steps forward
“Well traveler, you could call us businessmen, the only difference is that our customers don't want our business.”
“In that case, I’d like to make a complaint to management”
The leader laughs wickedly
“You’ll be able to complain to your new boss in Aurlûnor Velande, they pay hefty prices for slaves.”
Just then the blow of a war horn rings while the sound of metal clashing is heard in the distance. Another bandit approaches the leader with an arrow in their back, as they hobble over the leader approaches the injured raider carrying them towards a makeshift chair
“What happened to you, Walter?”
The injured raider coughs up blood
“We were waiting to ambush that Nebulan caravan when out of nowhere the Royal Guard along with the Seødøn came out and attacked!”
The boss stroked his scraggly beard, looks at Walter, looks to the ridge where he came from
“What do you think, boss?”
“If we took that Seødøn, that would set us up for life!”
“But What about the prisoner?”
“Kill him, we have bigger fish to fry”
“If you say so boss”
As the Band of raiders travels to kidnap the Seødøn, William is face to face with the injured ruffian armed with a knife to end Will’s life. As they hobble over William kicks his foot forward tripping the captor and choking him out with his legs, grabbing the knife he escapes his bonds, collects his equipment, and sets off to help this Seødøn that he has heard about.
= A final Friendly Face =
Climbing over the ridge the sights and sounds of battle became apparent. Looking past the battalion of bandits and raiders, he saw a Chevkrien man armed with an ornate, gleaming blade, wearing a shining golden crown, leading his soldiers into the fray of battle. Climbing down the ridgeline he finally approaches the Nebulan battleground, but as he approaches the Nebulans, the Seødøn began to attack William believing that he was with the ruffians. The Seødøn swung his saber, attempting to cut open William, William was able to dodge this blow, uses his shield and disarms the Seødøn. The Seødøn now disarmed and winded stares at William in confusion
“Well you bested me but I’ll take at least five of you down with me”
“Listen to me, I am not with those slavers!”
“Then who are you with?”
“I’ll explain everything when we slaughter these raiders, deal?”
“Deal”
William picks up the Seødøn’s weapon, admiring it for a second before deflecting an enemy’s blow and gutting them; he then returns the blade to the Nebulan.
“On your left!”
Another bandit falls to the Seødøn, William and the king slaughtered hundreds of bandits, after which they were finally able to talk
“So what’s your name stranger?”
“William Vulkan, and yours?”
“Anik K. Cávãlcánty II”
“Nice to meet you”
“So what are you doing in this Voidhole of a continent?”
“Honestly I'm just looking for a place to belong”
“Well you are welcome to come with us, we could always use an extra sword”
“Thank you kindly”
When he arrived at Nebula’s capital, William was in amazement, statues of phoenixes and a massive castle almost made him speechless. William set up a home in that very city, and continues to live there to this day, helping Anik farm, train, and helping build the nation to what it is today.
