== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Alasdair was born as an only child and according to Neilic myth, was born from Flamal. His mortal father was Homniall, the founder of the MacHomnialls. Alasdair was taught the basics of leadership by Homniall and taught the basics of religion and philosophy by Flamal. Homniall preserved Flamals teachings as too "feminine" causing Homniall to attempt to discipline Alasdair if he expressed them. This only hardened Alasdair's endurance and tested his faith in his mother.
=== Rise to power ===
At the simple age of 6, Flamal left to Neam, leaving behind Alasdair with his father. Before she left though, she prophesized him taking power and becoming the Great Druid, leading his people to a new paradise. This was proven correct when his father was assassinated by another clan, who subsequently put him in power at the age of 21. Soon after he revitalized the navy and began spreading Neamism. His actions proved helpful when the War of the Comet occurred and they had to leave their homeland. When the journey for safety began, he was 25, when Abexilas was opened to Rathnir. He was 27 years old and a fully fledged ruler. Following their first steps on Abexilas soil, the people praised his reign and adopted Neamism. He then took the role of Great Druid, summiting his rule over the Neilic people.
=== Kapaile ===
Soon after arriving to Abexilas, Alasdair led the Neils through the grasslands and deserts. Becoming hunter-gatherers for the time being as they searched for the new paradise. Soon, he arrived to the Nyrkor mountain range. Encountering citizens of Oceanum he negotiated a home for the Neilic people. They accepted and he established the city of Kapaile, the new Neilic capital. Needing a name for the region itself, Alasdair met with the Druids and Forighrs. They came to call the land, Tirnaneill, roughly translating to "Land of the Neils."
