Host

Host was a soldier and High Jarl of Frostmarch.
== Biography ==
=== Birth and Childhood ===
Host was born in northern Yimmu-Audal into a poor family, his parents abandoned him as soon as he was born so he had to rely on himself from the start.
Host's childhood was a rough one, as he roamed through northern Yimmu-Audal surviving on the leftovers of abandoned settlements as he went. During this time, Host did not have a name. He soon named himself after a small, ripped paper that he found. "Host" was the writing in the paper and to this day, he would be referred to as Host. 
=== Going South ===
Once Host was 10 years old, Host decided to venture south for the first time. He went to Urnu-Arrak, Yimmu-Audals' capital. Then to Talor, then Akratia. Host was about to give up when he saw the rough seas, but he craved for adventure. He made a boat and made it to the Kronesian peninsula, from there he ventured to the northern Dain River.
=== Brunland and The Dark Ages ===
Host was now 13 years old, he had founded the town of Brunland (Modern day Edgeland) as a independent Valdic city-state. Brunland would develop as Host as its sole resident, sadly Host would be forced to fight in wars against Skjaldreyja and other neighboring states. The city would grow to be a decently sized jarldom but becoming less and less relevant as the dark age would loom over the march, making Brunland a mere semi-abandoned settlment.
During this period, Brunland would be renamed into Edgeland and slowly continue to develop with yet again, Host as its sole citizen. The town would fall into the hands of the Sorligste Confederation, then Frostmarch. Now during this time Edgeland was not a important city to Frostmarch. With Host now being nearly 25 years old new citizens would live in Edgeland and help improve Frostmarch as a nation.
Edgeland would then become the most advanced town in Frostmarch with the construction of Ice railways, infrastructure and agricultural advantages.
=== The High Jarl and the Golden age of Frostmarch ===
After 5 years of helping Frostmarch develop via Edgeland, Host is now one of the 3 people next in line in becoming a Jarl. When the old Jarls ascended, Host, r0duct, and Flaming_Swipe became the leaders of Frostmarch, thus beginning the Golden age of Frostmarch.
During the Golden age of Frostmarch Erovald, Vesturperla, Patatas, Jrunmoor, Salovinn, Edgeland, and many more towns would flourish during the Golden age, Vandalah came and went in the Vandalah war and Frostmarch would soon turn from one of the weakest nations in the continent into a continental superpower. Frostmarch would soon become a empire during the Golden Age.
=== The Aging Jarl ===
As the Grand Union of Sorligste would be formed, Frostmarch's influence in the continent would slowly dwindle into just being as powerful as Soumere. However Host tried to keep Frostmarch alive with its few remaining members, but his age was starting to show as Host was almost 40.
Host's experience in wars had not change, but improved over time. But sadly the Sorligste crisis would occur and Frostmarch would be forced to join Tortuga. However, this did not help the development of Frostmarch in the slightest bit. It gained only 1 member a month, maybe more, while western Soumere was booming.
When Frostmarch was released as a vassal of Tortuga, it would start to gain more people again and once again turn into a power in Sorligste. Host would start development at the east again, rather than the west due to it being inactive. Host is now 55, but is up for a war, and would participate if he had a chance, as he have many times before.
=== The Dread Fleet and Sjalfizm ===
There is little information of how Host was invited to join Tortuga's renowned Dread Fleet, however there are some speculations on how it happened. Host, now 65, was diagnosed in a Vesturperla hospital with Sjálfsmynd (usually shortened to Sjalfizm), where he has multiple different personalities and sometimes attacks friends and such. This is likely the reason Host joined The Dread Fleet, as he is usually opposed and against pirating, however recently has done lots of mercenary work and stealing himself. Other signs of the disorder are Host's political decisions being off, different clothing and wear, and a change in style of building. Due to the disorder, Host ended up accepting the invitation. By the age of 65, Host was war hungry and a active mercenary and bandit, a complete reverse of his former self.
Host attempted to get medical treatment from the Vesturperla doctors, however the disorder was extremely rare. The doctors were unable to come up with a cure in time, which caused Host to change his personality. Despite this, he still remembers his old memories beforehand. Host has since invested a lot of government spending into medical research in FDRO (Frostmarch Disorder Relief Organization) to help with other citizens with the disorder and create medicine for the disorder.
=== The Third Jarldom of Frostmarch ===
Due to the deteriorating health of Host and him being occupied with mercenary work, Host decided to begin a third great reform in the Frostmarch government. The provinces were redrawn, Temsyod and TrixyRaven became jarls, and a much more organized government was put into place. This was to allow time for Host to begin doing more things in Frostmarch besides political work.
Infrastructure was remade during this period, as advanced nether portal travel was made between the towns. Host himself began working heavily on Vesturperla and Erovald during this period. Edgeland would become the first ever province to be changed to a Duchy. Host was still active despite his aging self. Frostmarch was now in a decent place again on the continent, however still not the superpower it used to be. Host began training sessions in Vesturperla in combat, and creating new foods and dishes for the residents.
=== Death ===
Somewhere north of Erovald in 105 AEC, Host Havardr was searching a cave for supposed treasure, but he was collapsed in and died from a mysterious cause, some say the work of the Gods. He would haunt the continent as a ghost for eternity, failing to breach the Firmament.
