== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Kadia von Axelm, son of Chrono von Axelm, grew up in Falongrad, capital of the Second Kingdom of Axelm, where he experienced an affluent and comfortable childhood. Grandson of King Thom von Axelm, Kadia was always treated very well throughout his life; his privileged situation gave him the opportunity to spend most of his time studying the arcane. Famously, Kadia exhibited a great interest and unusual talent for magical practices throughout his entire childhood in Falongrad. Infamously, Kadia was the most rebellious of the Axelmite royals; the family knew him to be distractible, lazy, undisciplined, and economically draining. His general incompetence got him involved in many scandals which greatly decreased the Second Kingdom of Axelm’s trust in their monarchy. Kadia was generally irrelevant in ‘Ratham’ politics; it wasn't until after the Comet Wars that Kadia had much of an effect on anything in the world.
=== Settling in Abexilas ===
Post-’Ratham’, the Axelmite people were extremely scattered throughout Abexilas. During this unstable period of discovery and danger, Kadia stuck close to his family, helping them construct the settlement of Valenheim (later known as Solanis). King Thom von Axelm founded the Third Kingdom of Axelm with Valenheim as its capital; this action unifying the Axelmites under the monarchy once more.
Ever since his arrival, Kadia noticed the powerful amount of magical energy that flowed in Abexilas. Kadia found this highly unusual, especially on this scale. He founded a group called the Sparkstone Collective, which contained persons interested in the study of magic in Abexilas. Kadia and fellow co-founder, Cril Snapper, began the construction of a secret underground university, where they planned to gather the greatest minds in Abexilas to collectively study the arcane. The Sparkstone Collective then focused on the creation of the Sparkstone Mages Academy.
=== Fall of Axelm ===
Even with a unified people, Axelm’s citizens still suffered greatly. Food was an extreme rarity for its citizens, to the point where rations were introduced (things were so dire that even Kadia, and other members of the royal family, found themselves hungry). Kadia and his squire, Gluteon Munch II, kept themselves entertained during this period of national depression by causing chaos, going on meaningless pilgrimages, and generally just being an inconvenience to their country.
Axelm’s condition would only decrease, everyday a new issue would arise; the most pressing of these issues being Arceon. Arceon was a neighbouring state to Axelm, of which they shared no agreements with. As the days went by, Axelm and Arceon would relentlessly argue over their borders. As tensions rose, both sides knew that some sort of conflict was inevitable.
Arceon had managed to convince one of Axelm’s higher ranking individuals to be their agent. This insider would start a coup and completely destabilise the Axelmite state in one night - leaving room for Arceon to swoop in and take control. During this coup, Kadia, Gluteon Munch II, and the Sparkstone Collective fled east to the isle of Adramis. Due to the Sparkstone Collective having connections with the newly reformed Zamotz, they were all granted citizenship and given permission to construct the Sparkstone Mages Academy in their borders.
