Rhapsody Azadivar

SepehrHN (Rhapsody Azadivar) Joined August 1, 2022.
Raised in the borders of Magisterium under the supervision and care of Zarthramid (Lucius Verum), Rhapsody became a traveler, founder, and head of the Maple Travelers' Guild who searches all around the world to find his true family. 
Rhapsody was raised believing that was found alone in the jungles of Bardonia by Lucius, during the Allium-Coalition War. Lucius told Rhapsody that his family was likely one of the immigrants of the war who abandoned him while they were escaping the conflict. By believing the fact that he is an abandoned child of war, he has a severe hatred towards the concept of borders, separated nations, and the existence of war.
== Personality ==
Rhapsody is an adventurer at heart, with a constant thirst for knowledge and exploration. Those who know him well describe him as a curious and introspective individual, who becomes easily bored if he is not presented with something new. When Rhapsody discovers something that piques his interest, he can be reckless in his pursuit of experimentation. However, when it comes to solving mysteries or conducting investigations, Rhapsody is bold and resolute.
== Childhood ==
After Lucius found Rhapsody, he decided to end his endless travel over the world and brought him to The Abyssal Isles, took care of him, and raised him there. 
=== Locked Up in the House ===
For most of his childhood, Rhapsody was confined to the house, only seeing visitors like the Grand Magister, BackToTheHub, and Artificer Suludo on occasion. Lucius claimed that these limitations were for Rhapsody's protection from the void beneath the islands and that he would be allowed to venture out once he was able to take care of himself and they moved to the underground city. Eager to explore the city and learn about the world around him, Rhapsody spent much of his time poring over books and eagerly questioning the Grand Magister about his battles and teach him how to fight during visits. His only other companions were his Target Block in the backyard. Determined to learn how to fight and protect himself, Rhapsody dreamed of the day when he could leave the house and see more of the world.
==== Ancient Religion Book ====
One day, Rhapsody discovered an ancient religion book on the bookshelves at home. As he reached for it, Lucius burst into the room and saw the book in Rhapsody's hands. Without a word, Lucius snatched the book away and glared at Rhapsody with anger and sadness. "This book is off limits," Lucius said sternly. "I'm only trying to protect you." He warned Rhapsody not to look for the book again.
==== Falling Into the Void ====
One day, Rhapsody decided to secretly venture out of the house and explore the underground city, which was still under construction at the time. As he was passing through the underground garden, Rhapsody lost his footing and nearly fell into the void. Fortunately, BackToTheHub saw the incident and managed to save him just in time. When Lucius found out about Rhapsody's adventure, he was furious and scolded him for his recklessness. Despite the lecture, Rhapsody's near-death experience only fueled his desire for adventure and exploration.
== Formation of the Maple Adventurers' Guild ==
On the eve of his 22nd birthday, Rhapsody finds himself at a crossroads. Despite being raised in the care of Lucius in the Magisterium, Rhapsody has always felt a sense of emptiness and purposelessness, fueled by the belief that he was abandoned by his family. Frustrated by Lucius's vague responses to his questions about his past and a desire to find his true family, Rhapsody decides to take matters into his own hands and start his journey to uncover the truth about his past.
But Rhapsody's journey is not just about personal discovery. He also wants to use his experiences and the lessons he has learned to help others who are struggling to find their place in the world. Rhapsody believes that the concept of borders, separated nations, and war are sources of unnecessary suffering and pain, and he wants to create an organization where people can come together to fight against these forces of darkness and work towards a world where children can stay with their families and people do not have to fight with each other. This organization becomes the Maple Travelers' Guild, which Rhapsody becomes the founder and head of. Overall, Rhapsody's journey is driven by a desire to find his place in the world, but also to make a positive impact on the lives of others and bring about positive change in the world.
=== Establish the Maple Adventurers' Guild in Magisterium ===
After establishing the Maple Travelers' Guild, Rhapsody set out to find a suitable location for the guild's main headquarters. He decided on a location in the Magisterium, near the FrostMart town, in the middle of the Spruce jungle. With the support of the government, Rhapsody was able to build the main headquarters of the guild.
Gold Augury, Lucius Verum and Grand Magister, BackToTheHub visited the newly established main headquarters of the Maple Travelers' Guild in their official capacities as head of the government of Magisterium. They presented Rhapsody with a pickaxe with the Fortune 3 enchantment, an axe with the Efficiency 4 enchantment, and some baked potatoes as gifts to aid him in his work as the head of the guild.
Rhapsody was grateful for the support and encouragement of the government as he embarked on this new chapter in his journey and looked forward to working with them to achieve the goals of the Maple Travelers' Guild.
==== Maple Adventurers' Guild getting banned in Magisterium ====
On November 21, 2022 some documents were leaked in the 12th Edition of the Sethris Times newspaper that revealed the Maple Adventurers' Guild had started their activity first in Magisterium. The documents allege that the guild get kicked out of Magisterium after they began investigating the Infested Giant Incident in the capital city, the Abyssal Isles.
The Grandmasters' Council of the Maple Adventurers' Guild believes that this incident was the first appearance of mythical creatures in their new form, three months before these new types of mythical creatures started attacking the world. As a result, the guild accuses the government of Magisterium of hiding the truth about the Infested Giant incident and believes that this event could be key to solving the mystery of the mythical creatures.
The Maple Adventurers' Guild has confirmed that they are investigating this case, but they have not publicly discussed it as they are still not certain if the Infested Giant incident is truly related to the presence of mythical creatures in the world.
== Osteri Plagosi Trading Company ==
On the 8th of August, 2022 Rhapsody met with Yamato of Celastris during his trip to Helona at Tortuga Isle. Yamato was an active politician in both Montrig and O.P.T.C. during that time. Yamato invited Rhapsody to accompany him in his trip to Terroja and a tour of the Catedral of Church of Barry. Rhapsody accepted Yamato's request. And after they presented Rhapsody's invitation to Vasiliki Tyranni Kolasares in Helona, they headed to Terroja, the capital of Montrig.
Immediately after they entered Terroja, the Guardian of Montrig, Mr. Lapis, declared an emergency meeting with the government members due to an attempted coup against him by Arcadia Regina former leader of the Surrealist party of Montroig. Yamato left Rhapsody after he helped him find a proper place to stay to attend the emergency meeting.
The next day, Yamato gave Rhapsody a tour of the Church of Barry Catedral in Terroja, and then they both left Terroja for Urcastle on the 9th of August, 2022.
During this trip Rhapsody and Yamato became friends. Yamato asked Rhapsody to join him in Urcastle and become his advisor and help him with affairs, he also offered him a location in Urcastle for Maple Adventurers' Guild branch. Rhapsody that found Yamato a wholehearted, brilliant, and valuable friend could not reject his generous offer and enthusiastically accepted this offer.
His joining the Duchy of Urcastle as an advisor and chief of staff led him to become one of the political figures in O.P.T.C., especially during the formation of The Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth.
==== Formation of The Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth ====
During Nieuwlyonesse's revolt against O.P.T.C. people of Urcastle were so dissatisfied with the approach of the government in controlling the situation. Rhapsody and Yamato presented so many solutions from the Duchy of Urcastle to the high council of O.P.T.C. but most of those proposals were rejected by Siam_Man, leader of O.P.T.C.. At this point, Rhapsody had no hope for the future of O.P.T.C. and found this situation so dangerous for Urcastle so he encouraged and aided Yamato to reform the Amberian-Urcastle Union to build a de facto O.P.T.C. government that has its own constitution, army, and economy that has the capability to defend itself and aid the inefficient central government of O.P.T.C. with suppressing riots.
Some people introduce Rhapsody as the soul of the Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth that had a strong impact on the Commonwealth Constitution. His effects and presence got more noticed when he was suggested and assigned as the Parliament Overseer by both leaders of the Commonwealth on the 18th of August, 2022.
During his time as Parliament Overseer:
* He sustained the idea of the incompetence of the O.P.T.C. central government.
* He raised the dissatisfaction of people and the disadvantages of being the vassaldom of Zendenia.
* He supported the joining of Freaktown to Urcastle and The Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth as a whole.
* He invited the rebel leader, Banetysto to peace talks multiple times.
* He led the Negotiating Board during peace talks with rebellions.
* He supported the addition of Fearg as an intergovernmental government province to the Commonwealth.
* He condemned the dissolution of the Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth.
===== The dissolution of The Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth =====
On the 11th of September 2022, Yamato was promoted from Stadtholder to the head of internal affairs position for the O.P.T.C.. Unlike Rhapsody, Yamato still had hope in the O.P.T.C. government. He started to convince members of the commonwealth parliament to support the Amberian-Urcastle Dissolution Order that was issued by the O.P.T.C.. Rhapsody and Jumpercali were strongly against this order and held a meeting in parliament to talk about this order with other members of the Commonwealth. They were in the middle of the talks when a messenger entered the parliament and announced the Order of Dissolution of The Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth which had been signed by both leaders of the commonwealth, Parrot of Celastris, King of Amberia and Yamato of Celastris, King of Urcastle.
Rhapsody was angry about this sudden decision. He took his horse and rushed to the Yamato castle to tell his objection and dissatisfaction with him and Parrot for bypassing the parliament. Yamato explained to him that he was under the pressure of Parrot and O.P.T.C. and tried to convince Rhapsody that joining the O.P.T.C. could be a positive move and now by him being the head of internal affairs, they can follow the idea of correcting the system of O.P.T.C. more effectively.
Rhapsody could not accept this decision so he left the Urcastle while he was desperate and worried about the people and started a trip to Yimmu-Audal, where he opened the first Alteniquia branch of Maple Adventurers' Guild in Gebel.
== Find an Stranger in Western of Yimmu-Audal ==
Like every Saturday, Rhapsody was leading a patrol in the Western of Alteniquia; The heavy rain that unexpectedly occurred slowed the patrol down as far as he dismissed all the squires from the patrol to not put them in danger, and ordered all adventurers to not get too far from the group during patrol.
It was the late night of Saturday, rainy but calmer than it was at the beginning of the patrol; All the group was coming back to the Gebel HQ when a fearsome sound was heard and Rhapsody noticed a sparkle in the sky that has landed far away behind hills, he immediately took his spyglass out and as usual without telling anything to others rode his horse as fast as he could to reach the point that the thing has landed. All the other adventurers were shocked by his sudden move, so they followed him apprehensively. It was when he found Fredrik Outlander that was left unconscious on the ground. So without any hesitation, he took Fredrik to the Gebel HQ with himself.
It took days until Fredrik fully revived and during that time Rhapsody and Professor Grimgott spent days and hours to find some information about Fredrik and the reason he was found alone and unconscious in the wilderness. Upon investigation by the Guild, it was revealed that Fredrik remembers nothing of his past. By reviewing the events that happened the night Rhapsody found Fredrik, he believes there are more mysteries behind Fredrik's story and that sparkle was definitely related to Fredrik also the dust of an unknown element that was found on his clothes can confirm that Fredrik does not belong to this world. But still, his knowledge and capability to speak Traveler's Tongue is the reason that makes everything so odd here.
== United Provinces of Plagosi and Return to Urcastle ==
On the 5th of October, 2022, Rhapsody received a letter from Plagos, the strange name of the United Provinces of Plagosi, and the seal on the letter immediately caught his attention. Then he took a closer look through the letter and identified the handwriting of the letter. He smiled and throw the letter away in the corner without reading it completely like he was already waiting for this letter to come and already knew about its content. He quickly packed his suitcase and went directly to Urcastle.
When he arrived, Yamato welcomed him warmly. They both were happy to see each other after a long time. On the first day of his arrival, Yamato assigned him as Parliament Member from Urcastle, and later on a promotion to Government Member simultaneously with the formation of the Government.
=== Osterian Confederation ===
After Rhapsody resigned from the government of U.P.P.O., stating that he could not fulfill the responsibilities he had as a member of the government, including conducting diplomacy and taking care of political talks, as well as keeping himself updated with recent news, he went silent for a while. A few people saw him passing through the streets of Urcastle, talking with locals and helping merchants.
Until news spread throughout the entire country that U.P.P.O. was preparing for a war against Amberia, and the king had a strong belief that they could win that battle unlike Rhapsody and other members of the parliament. A new constitution written by Rhapsody and signed by several province leaders and town owners of U.P.P.O. was delivered to the acting heads' office of U.P.P.O. by one of the town owners, Jimmy. This was done by accusing all province leaders and town owners of joining Amberia.
The King of U.P.P.O. and some officials immediately accused those people of attempting a coup. A meeting was held in the parliament of U.P.P.O. at the request of Yamato Celastris, in the presence of members from the government of U.P.P.O. and members of the Osterian Confederation. This included ZenoHUN, the Emperor of Simulami, Rhapsody Azadivar, LittleHoo, Bear Cavalry, Bob, DeathwatchUnit, Jumpercali, Kairos Fraus, and Ludwig von Bach.
The meeting passed with heated talks between Rhapsody, who was chosen as the spokesperson by the leaders of the Osterian Confederation, and members of the U.P.P.O. Rhapsody strongly criticized the executive policies of the government of U.P.P.O. under the management of Yamato Celastris, but he clarified that members of the Osterian Confederation believed these wrong approaches were not Yamato's fault, but rather a result of the wrong government structure and unequal sharing of power and responsibilities. Rhapsody said, "It has to be changed or U.P.P.O. will come to its end." Rhapsody proposed a change in the government without removing any member of the U.P.P.O. from the government, and without blaming anyone for the wrong decisions that were made after that.
However, Yamato Celastris and his followers had a different idea in mind. They continued to accuse the Osterian Confederation of being puppets of Amberia and attempting a coup against the U.P.P.O. Rhapsody shouted in the middle of the argument, saying, "This current system has made an imperialist and dictator out of Yamato Celastris by putting all the responsibilities on him and giving him absolute power, without any ability for the people to slow down or reject decisions that can cause a crisis for the nation. We need to change this immediately, at this critical moment when we still have time, peacefully and without any hate or enmity." Rhapsody's statement just caused Yamato and his followers to become angry. Yamato stood up and Rhapsody stared him in the eyes, while everyone else remained silent, waiting to see what Yamato's response would be. "Because of me? Aye, I know. You've blamed it on me enough alright. ....... Yamato is s..." And he left the parliament on his own without saying anything more.
After his departure, ZenoHUN, the Emperor of Simulami, took control of the meeting and began discussing the war situation in U.P.P.O. with the Osterian Confederation members. At this point, everyone saw Yamato Celastris' disrespectful departure in the middle of the parliament session as his official resignation from power.
The Osterian Confederation was formed and announced by heralds throughout the nation. Later that night, the sound of "Hail the King" was raised from Yamato's castle, as he left his castle, accusing the Osterian Confederation members of attempting a coup without pursuing their requests through the parliament of UPPO, despite him having held a parliament meeting for that purpose earlier that day and left the official meeting himself.
As his followers began to bring chaos to the streets of the nation, and his approach was causing the nation to lose its allies, a bipolar atmosphere prevailed in society. The Osterian Confederation members held an emergency meeting and decided to back off from their reformation plan because they saw the current situation as too chaotic and it was impossible for the nation to handle two civil wars against Amberia and the Monarchists.
The Osterian Confederation members left the meeting and headed to the parliament of U.P.P.O. to legitimize the government again and asked for forgiveness from the king. Some of them went further and accused Rhapsody of starting this movement. As Rhapsody was called a traitor by U.P.P.O. and was accused of starting a coup against the royal family; the city watch of Urcastle rang the alarm, dozens of soldiers rushed to Rhapsody's house at the top of the mountain of Urcastle to arrest him. When they entered the house, they found a half-empty cup of chocolate cinnamon tea, a schematic of a wearable tool, and a letter on the floor that read "Catch me, Tyrant".
News spread quickly throughout the nation, and the government continued to accuse Rhapsody of betrayal. U.P.P.O. revoked Rhapsody's citizenship, banned him from the nation, and continued its attempts to find and arrest him.
== Eldham Purge and the Formation of The Anti-Segra Front ==
The chaos in the U.P.P.O. was not the only problem that Rhapsody was dealing with. Earlier that night, Segra, the demon of destruction named by Rhapsody, had come to the people of Rathnir, whispered in their ears and told them about an upcoming attack on Eldham. She invited the people of Rathnir to join her in the attack against Eldham.
Using an unknown technique, Rhapsody directly entered the Scumoctacon created by Segra, from his house in Urcastle, before the U.P.P.O. soldiers could arrest him. He then joined his fellow grandmasters and members at the Maple Adventurers' Guild in the battle against Segra's forces.
=== Leading the Maple Adventurers During the Purge ===
After entering Eldham, Rhapsody made his way through the hideout prepared by his fellow friends, Electross and Ripley, the other grandmasters of the guild. Immediately upon seeing Rhapsody again, Electross noticed something was not right. Rhapsody, without letting the recent events affect him, knew he needed to take control of himself and the situation in Eldham. He lined up all the adventurers, explained the plan to them and divided them into separate groups, each led by a grandmaster, to take care of tasks in the hideout.
==== An Attack To the Hideout ====
In the middle of the day, Rhapsody gathered the adventurers and made two groups to search for major areas that might contain valuable loot. But since those areas were very dangerous, he decided to assign more people to the patrol teams to search those areas. The patrol group under his command and the other team under Ripley's command left the hideout. A group of raiders attacked the hideout while they were away, the guards managed to gather some gears and leave before the raiders could catch them, but a large amount of supplies were stolen from the hideout. When Rhapsody returned to the hideout and noticed the attack, he immediately searched for the guards. Once he found them, he saw they were sad that they couldn't guard the hideout. They were expecting Rhapsody to reproach them, instead, without letting doubt and fear enter the hearts of his fellows, Rhapsody called all the groups and ordered them to gather all the remaining loot and move to a new hideout.
==== Moving to a New Hideout ====
Rhapsody alone left the raided hideout to find a new location for it. As he found the new location, he started to prepare it. With the cooperation of Ripley, Electross, and other adventurers, they started to move all the loot to the new hideout. In the middle of transporting the items, Segra appeared at the raided hideout and attacked it with her minions. However, the adventurers managed to stand against her minions and move everything to the new hideout and blew up the raided hideout to prevent any more items from falling into the hands of Segra's followers.
This attempt by Segra made Rhapsody think that the earlier raid was also caused by Segra's followers, who then informed Segra about it and caused her to attack the base.
=== Calling the leaders of Eldham for forming the Anti-Segra Front ===
On the second day of fighting against Segra, Rhapsody sent a message to all world leaders and Anti-Segra groups and invited them to a meeting in the Grand Cathedral of Sethris to discuss their plan to defeat Segra and form the Anti-Segra Front.
The Result of the Anti-Segra Front Meeting:
With Rhapsody's initiative, the Anti-Segra Front Meeting resulted in three major events:
# All world leaders and Anti-Segra members got united and met each other. 
# The religious leaders and the world leaders accepted with the support of the gods of Rathnir and Eldham, they ask the gods to devote their power and for the people to send their prayers in order to form a new god named Paxis, God of Peace and Harmony, to stand against Segra and bring an end to her reign of terror.
# The Anti-Segra Front planned a march to the Rattican City to target the Segra with the Multi-Interdimensional Railgun created by the great engineers of Valogron from Rathnir while the gods will summon Paxis.
=== Attack the Rattican City ===
On the third day of the chaotic event caused by Segra, Rhapsody gathered a small group to secretly attack the Rattican City, in an attempt to strike while the iron was hot and Segra and her minions were not aware of it. When they entered the city, there was a deathly silence, as if the city was abandoned. They were encouraged and slowly moved towards the orb placed by Segra above the Rattican City, where Rhapsody believed they could find Segra. Suddenly, a group of Segrist came out of houses and surrendered to them. A great battle ensued between the adventurers and Segrists, in terms of supplies, the adventurers weren't comparable to the Segrists, and any cohesion and planning involved simply devolved into chaos. Rhapsody ordered the group to retreat, making a mad dash to the exit of the Scumoctacon. Ripley suddenly whispered to Rhapsody "Get our guys out of this hellhole. Tell them to run, and don't look back. I'll find my own way out." Then before Rhapsody could turn to protest, he saw that Ripley had already slipped away to fight Segra's monsters and followers to buy time for the surviving members of the strike team to escape from the Scumoctacon.
