Kedar

Kedar (full name: Kedarius Lech-Potocki) is a citizen of Ironrose, currently living in Ejznsteda.
== Origins ==
Kedar was born on the 6th of April, 2020 in the farlands of the north-east. He claims to be have been raised in a place called Posenia by an uncle of his, Bresalius. In the summer of 92 TE (30th of September 2021), after his home was destroyed and family killed by barbaric Magde People, Kedar embarked on an adventure into unknown lands to the south-west.
== Coming to Rathnir ==
After many years of journey, Kedar found himself in the world of Rathnir, quickly moving through many countries and strange lands, before finally setteling in Ozenia, Eisenland (Fall of 103 TE / 14th of November 2021). There, he met one of Eisenland's most important figures - Mr Poothick, with whom he quickly developed a friendship, helping in different local affairs and contributing to development of Eisenalnd's roads and farms. In the meantime, Kedar built a fairly nice and cozy house for himself, trying to replicate Posenia's architecture, known for simplicity.
== Beyond Rathnir ==
=== Disappearance ===
Having spend decades on learning and helping in Ozenia, Kedar decided to go back to the lands of his origin. In In 169 TE (5th of August 2022) he unexpectadely dissapeared, leaving most of his stuff in Ozenia.
=== Returning to Posenia ===
With Rathnir behind him, Kedar slowly marched back to his home region, only to find it controlled by the descendants of the Magdi barbarians, now fully established as a local state. Kedar decided to act quickly, and established a restistance movement within Posenia. After years of conspiracy, an insurrection took place, successfully driving the Magdi out of the region. Kedar assumed the role of a temporary dictator in order to coordinate the rebuilding proccess. During that time he acquired practical diplomatic and administrative skills. Ultimately, decades of dilligant work paid up, as Posenia managed to regain its former glory as a prosperous and safe region.
=== Journey back to Rathnir ===
With his home secured, Kedar installed a democratic government in Posenia, stepping down from his role as a dictator in order to be able to come back to Rathnir and reconcile with his friends. Somwhere during the time of his journey back to Eisenland, Kedar met a certain human by the name of Matx, who was also travelling to Rathnir in search of a new home. Kedar quickly convinced Matx to get into Eisenland and toghether they made their way through a number of adventures while getting closer to Rathnir.
== Rathnir's Twilight ==
=== Homecoming ===
The two managed to comlete their homecoming in the year 204 TE (December 23rd, 2022). For some time, Eisenland was no more, for a union with Pahonja transformed the nation into a Confederation of Eisenalnd and Pahonja. Crossing the border, Kedar and Matx were greeted by a new Kaiser: Gustav av Ejznhjart, who's grand amitions soon led to the creation of TEK. Kedar himself also changed - decades of constant travell, adentures, fighting and rulling forced him to grow up mentally and physically. When he came back to his old house in Ozenia, he didn't want to sit idle while history was being written. Thus, he came up with an idea to form his very own settlement...
=== Breslau chapter ===
During the winter of 207 TE (1st of January 2023), Kedar approached Kaiser Gustav with the idea of creating an artificial island west of Ozenia. Kaiser and his council agreed under the terms, that said island would become part of Pahonja. Soon, island became large enough for the first building to be created - said building being the townhall. With it came the proclamation of the town of Breslau, later to be renamed to Orjontown. The village was meant to be a transport hub between Pahonja and Eisenland, so a port was created, with the houses - or rather apartments - being built underwater. Throught the whole proccess, Kedar was accopanied by his friend Matx, who helped gather the resources. With the island becoming ever larger, new folk coming in and TEK prospering, the future looked bright for Kedar. Unfortunately, not for long...
As mentioned, Matx was vital in Orjontown. He was responsible for the majority of the resources gathered. Beyond that, he was Kedar's new best friend. The two would spend hours on joint fishing or mining sessions, always having each other's back. One night, during the winter of 220 TE (22nd of February 2023), Kedar and Matx decided to go fishing. Ignoring the uneasy weather, they used boats to sail towards a good fishing spot in the middle of the see. Shortly after, a heavy storm insued, separating the two friends from each other. While Kedar was miraculously saved by a pair of turtles, that captured the unconscious cat and left him on the shores of Orjontown, Matx went missing. After many days of fruitless searching, Matx was presumed dead. The loss of a close friend and co-founder of Orjontown broke Kedar. He deserted Orjontown in favor of his old house in Ozenia, locking himself there for years. Grief, sadness, depression took him over, and he spent the rest of Traveler's Era writing books and leaving a life of a hermit...
=== End of an era ===
While Kedar lived his life in reclusion, the world went on. As years turned into decades, and decades turned into a full century, the prophecy of the Comet was confirmed to be true. While the worlds of Rathnir and Eldham fell into a conflict known as the War of the Comet, Kedar decided to once again leave Rathnir. His motivation, apart from not wanting to be frozen to death, was to visit his home region of Posenia. He left Rathnir around the summer of 306 TE (3rd of Feburaury 2024). After years of travel, Kedar would finally reach Posenia, which by then became one of the greatest countries in the region. Its people, never forgetting all Kedar has done for them, invited him to live there for some time. Kedar accepted this proposal and postponed his further travels by a couple of months. 
The period spent in Posenia turned out to be definitely beneficial for Kedar. Surrounded by caring compatriots, he slowly regained his former strength. While talking about his countless adventures, he aroused respect among the inhabitants. Recalling the history of his life made Kedar understand, that he must finally come to terms with the loss of his friend and move on - that's what Matx would want.
== New world, old friends ==
=== Reahching Abexilas ===
Finally, the planned stopover time in Posenia passed. Leaving his home, Kedar emerged as a new, revitalized man. The experience of hundreds of years of life, combined with regaining his former spirit of empathy and optimism, made him a true veteran who was now about to venture into previously unexplored farlands. The journey was not an easy one, but for Kedar the conditions were not much different from his previous journeys in and out of Rathnir. Thousands of hostile creatures separated him from a kind of light that he could see thousands of kilometers away. Curious about what lays at the source of this strange light, Kedar steadfastly fought his way through the menacing farlands. Thanks to his time-measuring instruments, he later proved that the journey took him about 4 years.
=== The Odyssey ===
Having reached the end of the "tunnel", before Kedar spread a gigantic land of a size incomprehensible to his mind at that time. Diverse biomes, dozens of seas and oceans, large land and glacial masses. Traveling from - according to the compass - the eastern part of this world, Kedar also encountered numerous creatures known to him and even interacted with the indigenous inhabitants of these lands. After an incredibly interesting journey full of adventures and twists (which Kedar himself plans to describe in a book called "The Odyssey"), he finally found himself on the subcontinent of Iristoya - Gexas.
=== Ironrose ===
Landing on the subcontinent, Kedar travelled through massive mountain chains, lush forests, a tricky messa and a deep jungle. Something in this place felt... familiar, calling him louder and louder as he moved through the land. Finally, he encountered the source of this strange call - a small camp next to a river, flowing near the jungle. When Kedar got closer to the makeshift tents, he couldn't believe it - the camp was a home for non other than the old friends from Eisenland! Kaiser Gustav, MrPoothick, Albus, Raven and many others! They told him about how they escaped from the Comet, each in a different way. At last, Kedar was reunited with his Tengalii brothers! Having told them abouth his own adventures his overcoming of a longlasting grief, Kedar quickly reintegrated into his old community, contributing to the proccess of rebuilding their civilization.
After many months and years, where once was a petty camp, stands a great city bursting with life - Ejznsteda. Along with it, a new regional power have risen; a successor to Eisenland and TEK - Grousharjatum av Ejznrosa or Grand Duchy of Ironrose (0-11 VE). This time, Kedar decided not to constantly leave in favor of adventures out of this world (literally); this time, he was going to personally contribute to the future of his nation. After a failed attempt to get a seat in the Senate, Kedar joined Ironrose's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, utilising his diplomatic skills and charisma, thus becoming one of the leading diplomats (3 VE - ). He also became a person renowned for his quality maps, mostly of his nation's tegion of Gexas.
