Sciath

Sciath started his life on Rathnir in the nascent nation of Frosmyre, when it was just a single city that was too small to even find on the map. A part of the original group that settled the area, he was elected as to the Sejm, Frosmyre's governing body, in the second election that was held. When Frosmyre later changed its government, his position was changed to Minister of Law. His eloquence with a pen meant that he was often given the task of writing official documents, and his good mind and sense of justice made him a fair and just leader in the Frosmyrian government. He established the second city of the nation of Frosmyre, named Connacht after his ancestral home. A mountain fortress overlooking a valley city, it quickly became known as the Iron Wall of Frosmyre and both it and he were tasked with the eternal defense of the Frosmyrian homeland.
All good things must come to an end, however. While he was instrumental in facilitating the acquisition of the UBSR into Frosmyre, effectively doubling its size, the resulting merger with the Magisterium saw the Frosmyrian government become effectively defunct. When the Frosterium dissolved, he was given the honorable role of Owner of Frosmyre by K-, the former emperor who retired from politics with the dissolution. Under his rule, the claims of Frosmyre shrank in size but grew in wealth as he sold parts of the land to other new nations. He knew he could not maintain his hold on the entire land, so he slowly trimmed parts of it down, each piece feeling like a part of his soul was being shaved away. Now he focuses all of his attention on one single task: the construction of a massive wall that will forever ensure the safety of Frosmyre. Once completed, it will be the largest defensive fortification in all of Rathnir, enclosing both the claims of Fros_Myre and Nyr_Tlorn, and Connacht will finally fulfill its destiny of being the Iron Wall of Frosmyre.
Despite always being relegated to the role of leader or diplomat, Sciath has the heart of a warrior. Even as he has skillfully navigated the politics, negotiations, and wars that led to Frosmyre's rise, he has always envied those who take to the front lines in defense of Frosmyre. His warrior spirit grows restless even as he toils upon his walls, and when he isn't working on his wall he is slowly building an armory. He dreams of taking to the field of battle for any reason- his noble desire of fighting in defense of Frosmyre seems less and less likely as those around have began to view Frosmyre as unassailable thanks to the great warriors who defend it and the spreading rumors of his great wall. Soon, he may no longer be able to distinguish the pride of honorable combat in defense of his homeland from the thrill of slaughter for personal gain and glory...
