Robyn

__TOC__
==Origins==
===Background===
Robyn bon Annover (formerly Robyn Valois) is a prominent citizen within the Nations of Andorn and of Bardonia. Robyn follows a twisted form of Dandelism and Sannhet, often heard ranting about the Aurora Borealis, and of the capacity of steam.
===Life===
Robyn is the Grand Administrator for the Fourth Bardonian Empire. During Robyn's time in Imperial Government, several reforms have gone through, largely focused around both law reformation, event creation (Help founding the Bingmas Holiday), and the formation of Witch Hunters within the region of Andorn.
=== Robyn's early days in Andorn, and Bardonia ===
Robyn, like many others who now call Syltor their home, hailed from a region well beyond the northern waters of Syltor. Robyn hails from an arctic region, rumored to have sheer mountains that snake down to the ocean. A land which possesses bays that snake between mountains on each side, where towns can be seen nestled beneath the mountains. Robyn does not speak often of this land, for he loved it well, and yet, it became inhospitable in time. It is from the exodus from this land that Robyn eventually landed in Syltor, on the shores of a land called 'Andorn'. Specifically, the great city of Hinomir. 
=== Meeting the Locals ===
Robyn was unsure of where he had landed, but, he knew from the sheer size of the walls that lay before him, that civilization was thriving, for the city before him was larger than even the largest town from his homelands. Robyn bid his companions to stay on the boat in harbor, as he was unsure whether friend or foe resided within the walls, or if they could even understand what language they spoke. As Robyn snuck around to the front gates, he caught glimpse of a citizen roaming around. As fate would have it, Robyn could understand fragments of what was being spoken, but was confused as it seemed that the person he found referred to themselves as 'Lyrical'. Robyn attempted to communicate to learn where he had found himself at, but he could only make out the words 'Hinomir', which was said a number of times, and 'Andorn'. Sensing that there was a communications problem, Lyrical gestured to Robyn to enter the walls of Hinomir, and sensing that he had little choice, Robyn obliged, following Lyrical into the great walled city. Passing under the stone arched gate, Robyn found himself greeted by rows of homes, towers shooting above the walls and into the skies, and a series of great buildings. Awestruck, Robyn followed Lyrical around the settlement, gazing upon the rows of crops being grown, observing the locals go about their daily lives. Robyn also noticed the town guards gazes following him as the two walked throughout the town. 
=== Friends new and old ===
Robyn left the city of Hinomir, amazed with what he saw, yet confused and even disheartened, as he could not understand what was being spoken to him, nor could the locals understand him. For some reason, a few were caught staring at him longer than what would ordinarily be deemed polite, but, with no connections or knowledge of the people whose land he was in, he opted to remain quiet. Robyn regrouped with his companions and his cousin, Lou, back at the boat, to convey what he had seen. As the group heard the sound of hooves upon the paved stones of the harbor, and saw astride a stallion a man whom gazed upon them with purple eyes, and his retinue close at hand, including 'Lyrical', the one who gave Robyn the tour. Sensing trouble, the group prepared to set sail when the purple eyed man gestured with his hands for Robyn to come forward. Hesitantly, Robyn did so, when the purple eyed man began speaking in the same foreign language as 'Lyrical' had. Robyn could understand the words of 'Kaiser' and 'Savras', when the man spoke. He then beckoned for Robyn to follow, and gestured at the ship from which his companions were in, almost as if instructing them to follow along as well. Following the strange purple-eyed man and his retinue, they went to the side gates of Hinomir, where the purple eyed man and his retinue spoke in their fractured language. After a couple minutes of their seemingly 'rambling', a man wearing chainmail, donned in red and yellow, beckoned for the group to follow him. So the group did, and they parted ways for the time being, with the purple-eyed man, and a man who was donned in a weird suit of armour. 
=== Home is where the Heart Is ===
As the group followed the man in red and yellow, the man seemingly went on a tangent, incoherently talking, almost with the presumption that the group in tow was able to understand him. The one word that stuck out as it was yelled at them through the helmet and chainmail was 'Benito'. Robyn did not know it yet, but, this was not only his new King, but also the Lord who would grant him land to settle, and a friend and ally. As the group followed Benito, they crossed over and around snow capped mountains, across plains and lakes, and eventually into a large taiga forest, one with tall taiga trees that pierced the skies as if spears. It was here where the walked past the front gates of an old city known as "Fichtenwaldburg", crossing the walls until they reached fields of crops, a couple of worn down rustic buildings, and a small stone hill with an old decrepit tower. The structures were dreary, and yet, with Benito's gesturing before riding away, it seemed as though this place was to become 'home'. Exhausted, the group searched the ruined wooden buildings below the stone hill, attempting to find which building seemed most sturdy before the storm rolled in. They eventually settled on moving into what seemed to be a warehouse, where the settled down for the night to gather their strength. 
=== Kozenstejn ===
 
The following day, Robyn and the others set to surveying what it was that they were left, clearing the fields as the crops had become ruined, as if the settlement was abandoned for quite some time. Robyn and Lou made the decision to walk up the shoddy pathway up the stone hill, carefully treading up the narrow and steep path until they reached the summit, and saw the ruined stone tower and some curtain walls. As the pair stumbled inside the walls, Robyn caught glimpse of a glitter amongst the snow. What seemed to be a purple crystal, Robyn picked up the shard, pocketing it as a souvenir. The name of the new home was decided at that moment: "Kozenstejn", or "Chosen Stone" to reflect not only the purple shard he had found at the summit, but, that the settlement was chosen for them, a single solitary stone hill, and the lands beneath it. 
==Andorn==
Robyn is a citizen and subject of the Kingdom of Andorn. Robyn was a minor lord within the western reaches of the Falken-Erreichen, residing in his old settlement of Kozenstejn Hrad. Robyn was an Imperial Archon for a period of time, until eventually deciding to resign, due to the stresses of balancing the governance within both Bardonia, and Andorn. Robyn still maintains his office as Grand Administrator of Bardonia. 
=== The Bardonian Referendum ===
On October 24th, Andorn held a referendum to join the 4th Empire of Bardonia. Robyn partook in the conference, voting yes after the former Emperor Crezy, sung a wonderful song to the Andornian crowd. The resolution promptly passed. 
=== Bardonia ===
Robyn is a citizen and subject of the Fourth Empire of Bardonia. Within the Empire, Robyn is the Grand Administrator. Robyn resides primarily in two locations: Trojzubec Hrad, his current stronghold, and the floating airship of Umbral, alongside Captain Capna. 
=== Ryzan ===
Robyn is a citizen of Tossagrad and Volkoregrod, and will be undertaking renovation efforts at Liberium, to help fortify the Ryzani people as they recover. 
=== The Siege of Fichtenwaldburg ===
The Annover Family received an insult from the Lord of Fichtenwaldburg, and King of Falken Errechien, KingSwagolini. Robyn Bon Annover hesitated drawing blades against his former Ruler, but, reluctantly drew his blade and marched off to the capital city of Fichtenwaldburg. During the siege, Kaiser and Autarch Lucius von Savras, Bingo Bon Annover, Striker Bon Annover, and Princess Bobo Bon Annover laid siege to the city. After breaching the Castle Walls, Robyn briefly skirmished with a Bardonian Agent who showed up suddenly, before the Order was given to execute KingSwagolini. Robyn has since stepped down as Steward of Falken-Errechien, largely due to concern over his deteriorating mental state. Having experienced the flames of war, Robyn has considered pursuing another profession purely to cause more chaos.
=== The Annover Heartlands ===
After the siege of Fichtenwaldburg concluded, Robyn, alongside the patriarch Bingo Bon Annover, held a conference with Kaiser and Autarch Lucius Von Savras, to discuss the fate of the Principality of Falken-Errechien. The result of the conference was Avondale obtaining further land, Dralahad obtaining a substantial portion of land, and a dream was realized: Annover lands. After the conference, Robyn, The Princess Bobo, Striker, and Bingo all gathered at the Hannover castle to discuss a formal name for this new region. Robyn put forth the suggestion that seemed to resonate the most: 'The Annover Heartlands'.
The plan for this new province was to establish a string of fortifications throughout the province, and to wall off the province eventually, securing this new territory properly. This resulted in an extensive surveying effort, eventually resulting in the establishment and construction of Trojzubec Hrad (Castle at the Trident). This name reflects the geographical location of Trojzubec, being at a 'trident' of rivers branching on each side of the land.
