AQev0l

aQev0l Xápmála or Austevoll is the mayor and founder of the desert town of Levia. He was also a member of the Nine lives Council. He was one of the few speakers of the language of lev0 and adherent to the religion of Sheep. 
== Origin ==
=== Childhood ===
Austevoll came from the barren deserts of western Míyenxin where he was rased. He grew up in the series of sandstone mines that stretch beneath the sands. With him was the entirety of his tiny clan of Xápmála, an isolated clan of Catfolk that have learned how to live in the harsh climates of the desert. He made frequent journies to the strange spring that produced water in the middle of the desert.
=== lev ===
At this spring was one of the last Lev, a tribe of Qelim'qar catfolk who re-vitalised the sheep religion and lev0 language(which was later named after them). The Lev taught Austevoll about how this spring was a gift from the god veRiqQ0b, the god of prosperity, providing an endless stream of water. They then continued to describe how this land used to be lush and bountiful until the original settlers angered another god, biqabQ0b, who plagued the land with curse to be desert. The Lev died suddenly from the immense desert heat, but before their passing Austevoll managed to learn the lev0 language from them.
=== Sheep ===
Austevoll eventually fully converted to the Sheep religion, and become a major adherent. He would tend the small holy sites scatered across his homeland, and conduct regular rituals to the gods. He would attempt to explore the ruins of the pre-curse town that was swallowed by the wrath of biqabQ0b. He found other people and convinced them to join the religion, and the community of new Lev began to grow.

=== Founding of Levia ===
Austevoll founded the town of Levia with the player Rev(IGN: RenIsRaw) in 265 T.E. The towns namesake is the Lev, and the town was founded right next to the old archilogical ruins. Unfortunetly, the new claim was in the all too common situation of being a squatter. So Levia was quickly forced to being intergrated within Sylvania. Immediatly after the founding the two players set out on a massive terraforming spree. Austevoll single handedly built a massive mountain up from the ground. He then continued to create a wall around the town and build up the infustructure.
=== Council of Nine Lives ===
Despite being a very new player, Austevoll was asked to be a member of the Council of Nine Lives in what is now Míyenxin. His frequent hours and swift progression likely helped to achieve this, but luck played a large factor. The Archduchy was facing a big problem of innactivity, and he somewhat helped by starting a new town to get people to join. The involvement in the council and Míyenxin started off slow, but began to ramp up when more difficult discussions took place involving the renaming off Míyenxin and Great Dupe of 2023. 
== Second Half ==
=== Levia Expansion ===
In December 2023, Austevoll mounted a considerable effort to rebuild the town of Torrington just south of Levia. The town hadn't seen any activity in nearly two years, and the buildings there sat dormant and heavily griefed. In the north side of the town, only two buildings could be repaired. Over the next month, Austevoll fixed up the roads, repaired the homes, and built new buildings to add to the town. He tried his best to preserve the original style while also adding new features to the town. One notable change was the new road design, which made the roads much prettier while maintaining the town's execptional road layout.
=== The End ===
On January 6th while Austevoll was tending to his sheep on Eldham, one world away Stoney announced the end of the two worlds, Rathnir and Eldham. When news had finally crossed the ocean back home, Austevoll was shocked. He has not yet grown old, and had so much to do in his growing town. All future projects were immediately put on hold as he gathered a sense of what the next few months would hold. He raised his head to the sky, cursing the comet overhead that dared to bring his world, his home, his future to an end. It was no use, all he could do now was wrap up his work in Torrington and prepare for the end.
The end of the worlds brought anger and violence to the hearts of many Eldhamites. Austevoll traveled to Noxwind, the capital of Sylvania, to hear what the two Imperial Archons had in store for the nation. They were preparring for war, and thus created the DEEZ NUTS(Divine Elated Eldham Zenith of Nation United Theocratic Soils) allaince was formed. Austevoll quickly involved himself in the procedings of the alliance, commiting himself to the war effort. He would prep claims and show up to wars to protect his nation, which he had begun to grow fond of. The war was not going well. The alliances forces seemed to lose decisively to the Orithian forces at every battles they fought. Hope was beggining to fade and some of those invovled in the war effort were given emergency government posistions under Sylvania, including Austevoll. 
The battles, which had all taken place outside of core Sylvanian territory, began to approach the Sylvanian heartlands and Míyenxin. Austevoll then began to question the nature of the war, as most of the Nine Lives Council were not in favor. Swen, the leader of Orithia, then threatened Míyenxin with war. His ultimatum, vassalize under Ortihia or U.S.S.E or be conquered by the Aristii. Austevoll then choose to step back from the war, not wishing to further antogonize the enemy(I was busy IRL). 
In the final days of Eldham, Austevoll brought together Levia one last time for a celebration. He celebrated their small town's accomplishments with his loyal left and right hand. He also repaired the landscape across all of Castellum while working with Clésum to turn much of Castellum into a beautiful cherry forest. Míyenxin was released from Sylvanian rule one week before the world ended, and Austevoll was proud to finally have his nation be independant from Sylvavnia in reflection of their identity. 
The final morning dawned on Eldham. Austevoll made his last preparations. He dedicated his whole day to religious ceremonies for the Q0b. He offered all the possesions of Levia to each god in a sacrifice. As the sun set, Austevoll made his final pilgrimage up the mountain to look at the stars. Shooting starts, debris from the comet, rocketed across the sky setting it ablaze. He wrapped himself up in a warm quilt embroidered with designs from the desert, and fell asleep on the rocks, under the stars.
