== Biography ==
=== Time in Yimmu-Audal ===
Harold was Born to Maximal Teutonicus Ad Alendir and Emilie Ad Alendir in Enithica-Novoros in the town of Fjörgyien. Unfortunately when he was six years old he was lost on a trip and ended up in a central region in the Empire of Escharia, from which he was adopted by travelling people from Konushum, in Anoshphéy. These people eventually moved from Konushum to Fairavon due to trouble with the people from Konushum. They were sent to work the mines of Fairavon and Harold was no different. He spent most of his days here working in the mines. At one point in time he was forcefully drafted into a war he knew nothing about, a war between Yimmu-Audal and another major power. In this war the organization of the Yimmie army was terrible, they did a mass charge up a large hill being absolutely destroyed by the defending force. Harold barely survived this, getting help by two Tortugan pirates who came to the aid of Yimmu-Audal. He luckily came out alive and returned to Fairavon, again being forced to work the mines. Eventually he became sick of this and ran away from his family and from Fairavon.
=== Journey through Rathnir ===
After leaving Fairavon he travelled to Urnu-Arrak where he spotted the maps of Rathnir of which he remembered from his early childhood, Cymru and the nation of Sirradra. (which was still called Viodoxa when he was in Yimmu Audal) So he began his travels from Urnu-Arrak to his original family back in Enithica-Novoros, sailing along the seas he begins to hear whispers in his ear of the 'future' as whatever it is tells it. Thinking of this as madness from travelling for so long or his sickness from Fairavon he decides to ignore it and eventually it goes away. 
Once he turned 19 he landed in Enithica-Novoros, in the city of Cadabia he travels along the roads until he meets his father in Fjörgyien were they are reunited. After all this time apart, Harold decides to settle in to a nice countryside village called Hierapolis. In Hierapolis he meets his mother again and decides to work under her for a while improving the village of Hierapolis. It is in this village that his career as a politician takes off as he forms the Labour Party reminiscing from his time in Fairavon and how badly he was abused he decides to make the party about equality and workers, later it gets expanded as other topics become relevant. 
=== Political career ===
In his first try as politician, he wins the Council Elections in Enithica making him a new Grand Council member. He delves deep into this world as he tries to improve the lives of his fellows in his province. In the meantime he begins fishing and racks up a small fortune to call his own.
=== Exploring Boaterism ===
One day while Harold was working in Fjörgyien he stumbles upon his friend, Saunic Spud who was looking intensely at a tower made out of boats in the city plaza. He noticed an importance in the boats and by doing several experiments both noticed that there was spirits inside of them! Once discovering this the boats lit up and both of them could hear the spirits words, speaking elegantly to them. It said; "Hello, my descendant, Saunic Spud, and you, Harold Ad Alendir. I have a message for you, those who investigate. Spread the word of my letter, the source of all knowledge related to the Boats and the Spiritual Realm. Only you two will be able to read it, and I entrust you to write down almost everything this book says." After receiving this revelation, the both of them saw a book floating down from the Flaitheas (Spirit Realm) containing the word of Boaterism. The spirit revealed himself to be Knunkles Spud, the first to see the truth, he tasked Saunic and Harold to spread the word of the book and to guide others to become Spruce and to not fall into the hands of the Birch. Realising that the voices speaking to him on his travels were spirits from the boats he was on, Harold became a High Priest and a Founder of Boaterism that day.
=== Founding of the first Boaterist Church ===
After all this happened Harold used part of his fortune to commission a new church in a suburb of Fjörgyien, called Vidona. The new church was named after Saunic, being the First St.Spud Church. (Harold gained the title of Grand Knight during this time) Divine word was spread to the people of Enithica-Novoros and it eventually caused the opening of a church in Elmon and the second major Boaterist event, the Messiah's awakening. Ze Alaric Thalos was wandering in an old town called Libertalia, it was abandoned and partially destroyed but in this town he was awoken by the spirits of Boaterism. The Spirits from Flaitheas called directly for him, they showed up in Spirit form to only him and he became the Messiah of Boaterism, he wrote a book called Spirits Vision. (You can see more in Holy Books of Boaterism The land of Libertalia was remodeled into the holy land of Eleysae, owned by Ze and eventually the main church of Boaterism was built in Eleysae. During all this time Boaterism had spread so much that it became the most populous religion in all of Cymru. Once Eleysae was built and discovered to be a holy land, Harold moved there along with much other Boaterists setting up a tight knit community who all worship the spirits. His house stands today and holds the Sword of Light, Claíomh Solais.
=== Time in various armies ===
==== Knights of St.Spud ====
Harold turns out, is a good fighter. So much so that in the Boaterist Church itself he commands the prestigious Knights of St.Spud. They have many duties but the main one is to protect Boaterism from harmful influences, the Knights have prevailed before, defeating the Church of Grimm, Fortunism, Soleannan and the 3x3 cult in Enithica, proclaiming to be the sole religion, the true religion in all of Enithica. Today in Enithica they are unmatched in prowess, and Boaterism itself has earned its place as the most popular religion in all of Cymru. 
Many followers of Boaterism have joined the Knights and they are working currently under Harold, people like Jeremy ad Alendir-Vulidion have contributed greatly to the knights success. During this time the Bobberists, who worship the evil demon Bob were defeated by both Harold and Jeremy this brought stability to the Boaterist Church as there weren't threats from the demon worshipers anymore.
==== Sirradran Army ====
Like everyone in Sirradra, one must join a ministry and Harold was no different. Due to his combat skills he opted to join the defense ministry where he initially failed at. He was given the lowest rank in the army, a squire and was told to train like hell to achieve anything above squire. He tried his best for weeks but there was little to no improvement, then remembering his duties as a Boaterist he prayed to the spirits to grant him strength to defeat his enemies in battle. After this his skills drastically improved nearly every day, he quickly became an ordinary foot soldier, gaining access to better training. During this time he dueled many of his colleagues earning himself the new rank of Knight. This placed him above many, but there were still obstacles to climb. The higher ranks seemed impossible for Harold and due to his large work load he decided that staying at the rank of Knight was enough for now. He promised to return to become a Crucible Knight one day, but for now he has to work on all his projects and jobs.
==== The Brotherhood ====
Made by people in the Sirradran Army, this was a band of militia soldiers and due to the fact that it was made by Sirradrans, Harold gained easy access to the Brotherhood. He felt right at home here as he was completing his duties as a Boaterist by helping the weak come to higher powers, the Brotherhood protected those who had no protection and for charity, this was the ultimate gift to the people. Harold follows the Brotherhoods code no matter what.
== Death ==
After coming to Abexilas by the great voyage from the Boat spirits of Boaterism, Harold lay claim to land giving up his warrior life and deciding to settle down. His fondness of castles from his time in Rathnir gave him the idea to build a fort for his grandchild yet to be born. Over the next two decades his fort would be complete and his time in the realm of the Talamh would be finished. He passed peacefully in his sleep, his grandchild, Eibhear, found him the next morning and inherited his titles.
=== Tale of Harold ===
In the lands of Abexilas, few are as known as that of Harold, a seasoned warrior from the distant and pillaged lands of Rathnir. Known for his unwavering resolve and indomitable spirit, Harold's journey to Abexilas marked the beginning of a legacy, one that would echo through the stone halls of the mighty Dun Eibhear.
Harold arrived in Abexilas under mysterious circumstances, a world starkly different from the battle-ravaged Rathnir. Here, the air whispered not of war and strife, but of peace and opportunity. With his days of combat behind him, Harold saw a chance to forge a new path, one of creation rather than destruction.
In the solitude of the Spruce Forest, Harold laid the foundation of what would become Dun Eibhear—a castle named in honour of his yet unborn grandchild, Eibhear. With sturdy walls built from the gray stones that lay upon the forest and towers that pierced the sky like the tips of spears, Dun Eibhear was more than a fortress, it was a testament to Harold’s transformation from a warrior to a guardian.
Though he never wielded a sword in a war in Abexilas, Harold's battles were of a different kind. They were against the relentlessness of time and the challenges of establishing roots in unfamiliar soil. He became a mentor to many, sharing tales of Rathnir’s harsh beauties and the resilience required to survive there. His stories, enriched with lessons of endurance and courage, sowed the seeds of inspiration among the soldiers of Acreon.
As years turned to decades, Harold’s silver hair fell and his warrior’s stride softened, but his eyes remained as sharp as ever, reflecting a mind that never ceased to plan for the future. He was blessed to see the birth of his grandchild, Eibhear, a spirited youth who grew under the guidance of his grandfather.
Harold’s final years were peaceful, a stark contrast to the earlier events of his life. He passed away quietly in his bed, his grandchild by his side, his legacy established in the walls of Dun Eibhear and in the heart of his grandchild.
Now, as Harold rests beneath the shade of the spruce that dot the landscape around Dun Eibhear, young Eibhear steps forward to continue his grandfather's legacy. The castle, a symbol of endurance and evolution, stands ready to face new Abexilas under Eibhear’s leadership.
Inheriting not only the physical fortress but also Harold's ideals and dreams, Eibhear is ready to make a new chapter in the story of Dun Eibhear, one that honours his grandfather's memory and the peace he found and fostered in Abexilas.
Thus, the legacy of Harold of Rathnir endures, not through battles fought or enemies slain, but through the lives he is remembered in and the fortress that bears his grandchild’s name. In Dun Eibhear, Harold's spirit remains a guardian, watching over Eibhear as he searches through challenges and victories that await...
