Fenn

Fenn is a human with maroon hair and deep red eyes. He usually wears a dark tan, scholarly-styled coat with blue pants and a white undershirt. He wears an old, modified netherite helmet (which has very little protective value in actuality), and a thick, leather brace on his left arm; which hides a debilitating burn, but also helps to render his arm functional. 
He is the author of the Home and Hell book series, which details his past and his experiences in Rathnir. Currently, he is the parliament leader of Falsor.
== Books ==
The Home and Hell book starts with Fenn's arrival into Rathnir, and is the only publicly-released book in the series. Fenn had started to write two sequels to the first - as well as two prequels, but the drafts were stolen from Falsor near the end of 2021 and have been lost since.
== Before Rathnir and Eldham ==
=== Aftyra ===
Fenn spent the first 12 years of his childhood in a large, extremely distant village named Aftyra; which had vastly different customs and beliefs than most Rathnir and Eldham settlements. Not much is known about the village and their customs, due to Fenn being the only living Aftyran.
Aftyra was a cold town located to the far east of Rathnir, situated at the base of (and built along the edge of) a large, snowy mountain range. Something ambiguous happened to Aftyra around 15 years before Fenn arrived in Rathnir, causing his journey into Hell and the fiery destruction of his home.
=== Hell ===
During the destruction of Aftyra, Fenn was forced into an unstable, rudimentary Nether portal, where he would spend the next (about?) 15 years adapting to the environment and travelling in one direction - west. While Fenn was trapped in Hell, he learned how to thrive in the unforgiving landscape and discovered a hidden force of the dimension that he called Primality.
Primality acts simultaneously as a consciousness and a plague, and only really begins to affect people that spend an extremely extended amount of time in the Nether (symptoms began at around 7 months in Hell for Fenn). Primality is aptly named, as it is the sentient force that causes the natives of the Nether to gradually lose their own consciousness and operate almost solely on primal instincts. While most natives are born with this connection, the Piglin race seems to almost be an exception, due to their high mental capacity and strong-willed consciousness. Fenn theorizes that Piglins would be a smarter, superior race to humans if they were not trapped within the Nether for so long.
Though most of the effects of Primality are felt within the Nether, long-term effects include severe long-term memory loss, some short-term memory loss, low resistance to cold temperatures, and an inability to completely adapt to the overworld's atmosphere.

=== Books 1 and 2 ===
Once Fenn had wandered into the nether-adjacent boundaries of Rathnir, he stole his current clothing from a netherite miner and went through a portal adjacent to Yimmu-Audal. After a few days in the overworld, he had regained a connection to his consciousness and immediately disposed of everything he had brought from the Nether, save for his helmet. He wandered around the center of Rathnir until he met Sol, who was a bartender at St. Acol's Fort at the time. Sol took Fenn to the Fort, where he began to write his book series in an attempt to retain his memory, which was impaired due to Primality.
Under the rule of St. Acol, Fenn helped to build some of the Fort, and was elected the Acolyte's Tribune by the people. (The current Acolyte article, written by Acol, is biased and inaccurate. Take it with a bit of salt if you read it.) During his stay, however, Fenn suffered numerous nightmares due to the combined effects of alcohol and the overworld's atmospheric conditions. One dream was especially notable, as it predicted the fall of Acol and his Fort climaxing during a rainstorm and a silent war. This prediction sparked Fenn's distaste for St. Acol's theocratic dictatorship, and caused him to believe that the Fort was unstable, and would be destroyed soon.
The prediction caused Fenn to cultivate a silent rebellion with his friend, Hina, who had similar views about Acol's leadership. Soon after, Hina was killed, but the rebellion continued to grow over the course of a month and a half. After the Avalon Massacre strengthened the rebellion's belief that Acol was unfit to lead a nation, the majority of the Fort's highest-ranking individuals, including Sol and Goonterino el Sicario, were converted. They created a proposal for a new government that would be presented to Acol peacefully on the next tribune election. However, this wasn't meant to be.
A war started between St. Acol and The Republic of Zemlya a few days before the tribune election. It was decided that Zemlya would attack the Fort on what happened to be election day. Due to the sudden interference, and Fenn's regretful knowledge that this would be the end of Acol's Fort, the rebellion disbanded and left, either to move to Falsor in Eldham (which originaly was a military settlement of the Acolytes, but at around the time of the war was reinstituted as an independent nation by Falcon), or to be sheltered in Baronov, of which Zemlya was a vassal of at the time. Fenn, however, joined Zemlya as a citizen and as a spy, so that he could aid them in the war against St. Acol (who was the sole target of the war, rather than the entirety of the Acolytes). Only one other soldier agreed to assist Acol, but in the end, neither showed up to the war, and the Fort was annexed by Zemlya. Fenn then lived in Baronov for a while, before the events of book 3.
