Lhewi Bohémský z Bohémy

Lhewi Bohémský z Bohémy was a half-Rulagii, half-Reikarii Soleannen Niedene born during the Aqirli Rei de Reikarii, modern day Inosaftrei de Reikara. Born to two runaway parents, Lhewi did not learn of his true heritage as a member of the Royal House of Bohéma until he retraced his family-friend Reyjad Solgal's steps back to Galitz. Having no heirs, Reyjad Solgal bestowed all of his titles and belongings on to Lhewi, making him a Kesefor of the Aqirli Rei de Reikarii and by extension therefore a Kesefor of the wider Third Escharian Empire; as well as the Akesor of Falkeame.
He would later take up the role as Akesor of Raykara City, handing off Falkeame to his trusted friend M'aiq Do'virr. Mere weeks after taking up this new office, Kaiser Jeremy of Garmillia suddenly abdicated his throne, bestowing all of his titles and belongs (similarly to Reyjad) to Lhewi; who then become the second monarch of Garmillia, and by extension co-ruler of Garmillia-Raykara. 
As a result of his royal status, Lhewi's full, legally adopted name became Lhewi Bohémský z Bohémy-Vernal-Ritterkrieg. Shortly after taking up these new royal positions, however, Lhewi would retire from public life, bestowing his duties in Raykara City to the Akesirro. Although he retained his royal titles, he relinquished their ruling powers in order to lead a quiet, private, and relaxed lifestyle up until his death during the Comet War.
== Biography ==
=== Childhood & Early Life ===
Lhewi was born into a quiet family in Solitude as a lone child. His parents Magdaléna and Josef disciplined him well as he grew up, but kept most of their personal life a secret as Lhewi matured. Because of this, Lhewi did not go by any surname and his family were simply known by their forenames only. This agitated him as he grew older, because other children from Solitude would tease him for it. Having spent most of his childhood in and around Solitude, Lhewi became well-acquainted with much of the townsfolk. Individuals such as Reyjad Solgal and Akesor Tom an Weirika (who educated Lhewi thorough most of his teenage years) would become key figures in Lhewi's life. He was also supposedly caught on multiple occasions trying to sneak into the Golden Cow bar in Solitude, despite him not being old enough to enter.
There are not many other details provided in historical records about Lhewi's early life, except that it was apparent to him for most of his childhood that his parents did not, like himself, originate from Solitude.
=== Education & Early Adult Life ===
After reaching the age where the local Soleannen church stopped handing out free theocratic lessons to the youth, Lhewi was enrolled by his parents into the Reikarii School of Language and History; despite the school not even being fully operational yet due to its ongoing construction. Nonetheless, the school was ideal for Lhewi as it was located in his home town of Solitude, and it is suspected Lhewi attended some preliminary classes before transferring to a dedicated medical school to follow his parents aspirations for him to become a licensed doctor.
Although it is unclear where Lhewi received a formal education in the field of medicine, he did emerge with a doctors license and was cleared to help patients. However, much of Lhewi's earlier education on Soleannen theology blind-sighted his medicinal obligations, and in his early days as a doctor Lhewi was known to give out bias diagnosis' to patients. In letters received by Lhewi's patients, he suggested that they pray often and perform necessary religious rituals to ensure they recover from illnesses.
=== The Travels of Lhewi Bohemský ===
After a few years of dispensing semi-bogus treatments to unsuspecting patients, Lhewi was suddenly alerted to hear that his dear family friend, Reyjad Solgal, had slipped into a coma at his estate, Falkeame. He was quick to rush there, and offered his medical expertise in assistance to which the residents of Falkeame gratefully agreed. During Reyjad's time in his coma, Lhewi effectively took over the day-to-day running of Falkeame and garnered the respect of its people and travelling merchants. Upon Reyjad's awakening, he disclosed to Lhewi that his health was ailing, and his excellent job at running Falkeame earnt him the mantle of Falkeame's successor. Reyjad also tasked Lhewi with looking into his family heritage, and set him off by offering access to his personal archives. There, Lhewi found a lack of anything to help his cause until he came across a copy of birth records from the neighbouring town of Baunei-Av-Kapuno. In it was the name of his mother, Magdaléna, and her birth date. Upon telling Reyjad this information, Lhewi promptly set off home again to Solitude, where mere months earlier both of his parents had died in a tragic manner.
However, instead of returning home upon reaching Solitude as intended, the appearance of Akesor Tom an Weirika prompted Lhewi to follow him to Tom's residence at the Mistveil Keep. During discussions there, Tom revealed to Lhewi that Reyjad had took steps in actively attempting to track down Lhewi's fathers heritage, and advised him to travel to Galitz to pick up where Reyjad had left off. Once in Galitz, Lhewi enlisted an assistant from the town hall to access the town's post office; where instead of finding the tracks Reyjad had left behind, he came across a letter written by his father, Josef, to his mother. Inscribed in this letter were details about Lhewi's father's family, the Bohemskýs, flight from persecution on Bohéma. Immediately upon reading this, Lhewi realised his surname, and by effect who he really was. Meanwhile, the town hall assistant had found records detailing that Reyjad had bestowed his Galitz residence to Lhewi, and advised that he should visit it before he left Galitz.
Lhewi obliged, and explored the house. Finding nothing of particular worth inside, he stepped outside the front door and noticed a scroll in the house's letterbox, which read that Reyjad had died peacefully in his sleep. Devastated at the news, Lhewi grieved until the next morning; when he returned to Falkeame to claim his new role as Akesor of the town.
This story can be found in the books The Travels of Lhewi Bohemský and The Travels of Lhewi Bohemský (Complete Edition).
=== Family Connections ===
After rediscovering his roots as a member of the Noble House of Bohéma, Lhewi set off to Bohéma Island as soon as he had settled his affairs in Falkeame in hopes of reaching his kin. Upon sailing up to the shore of the island, Lhewi was greeted by two smartly dressed men who helped him from his boat. They then took him to the fortress of Jussberg, Bohéma's central castle, where they asked him who he was and why he had visited. Lhewi explained that he had travelled there to try to find his family, and had been sent by previous discoveries made by Reyjad Solgal. The two men were rather taken aback by the mentioning of Reyjad, and explained how they (like Lhewi) were friends before he passed. The men explained to Lhewi that they were actually two of a set of six brothers, Jakub and Libor of the Bohémský brothers. Shocked by the revelation that these two men were actually members of his lost family, Lhewi quizzed them on their knowledge of his father; to which the brothers replied by saying during their time fleeing the Kal-Lir regime, Lhewi's father Josef was actually their uncle and had taken care of them all.
Thereafter, Lhewi would be introduced to his other family members, including the other Bohémský brothers. He would also be shown around the various businesses that the House of Bohéma controlled, including the family brewery and Libor's Tailor Shop. Lhewi then agreed to incorporate his own business, the Eratarrarost Publishing Group, into the family trust.
After a few weeks of familiarising himself with the family, Lhewi proposed to his cousins that they should all be formally baptised together. Although Lhewi was heavily religious, as seen with his practice in medicine, his parents did not baptise him as a child, instead deciding to take advantage of the town of Solitude's religious exemption laws from the Soleannen mandate. Although much of Solitude remained steadfastly Soleannen regardless, the reason why Lhewi's parents did not baptise him remains a mystery. And so, with his cousins Libor and Jakub, the three were officially baptised in Sylene's pond in Falkeame, the ceremony overseen and ran by fellow Kesefor of Raykara and wife to the heir Valerian II, Katia Bellator. Alongside various members of his house Lhewi could then be spotted at various events across Escharia; including the coronation of King Dolphin Whiterose of Hälge, the Lostesrei Gala and various weddings.
=== Capital Takeover ===
Following the collapse of the Third Escharian Empire and subsequent declaration of independence of the Inosaftrei de Reikara, the ruling class of the succeeding states were thrown into havoc. Although Raykara escaped most of the chaos, some individuals were not so lucky. Akesor Altalune Lumenox of Raykara, who was closely associated with affairs in Lostesrei, became demoralised with the state of affairs, and decided to abdicate her position as Kesefor and Akesor of Raykara and moved south, temporarily settling in Lirgal. With the position of Akesor vacant in this critical city, Lhewi offered to step up and take the position. Despite this willingness, Lhewi was conflicted and sad to let go of his inherited town, Falkeame. Luckily, he arranged that an old friend of Reyjad, M'aiq Do'virr, should take over Falkeame in his place. With that, Lhewi was confident Falkeame would remain in safe hands.
After handing over Falkeame to M'aiq, Lhewi travelled back to Solitude. There, he moved the last of his belongings from Falkeame back home for storage, and pushed on north to Raykara. Upon his arrival, Lhewi enacted immediate administrative changes. First of all, Lhewi divided up the city into districts and establishing protected heritage zones. The Old Town, where the city and nation was first founded was granted a special status and would remain untouched except for repairs. Importantly, Lhewi also set up the cities first address register which was crucial to the management of citizens as it enabled them to be tracked when they became tenants or owners of property. Lhewi also worked to emphasise the importance of the history of the city; and did this by naming roads after historical figures, such as Countess Marisa an Aeszerii Boulevard, named after a former Akesor of Raykara. He also set up plaques on houses in the Old Town that were once residencies of important people like Duke Wize of Raykara and Akesor Clear of Raykara.
=== Royal Ascent to the Throne of Garmillia ===
The events surrounding the eleventh Reikarii Senate meeting were chaotic for Lhewi. The meeting itself had been interesting, with many topics discussed such as the vote to once again allow Solitude to regain its exemption status from the Soleannen mandate; but the calmness of the meeting was abruptly broken by the sudden appearance of minions from the Bakers Union. The Bakers Union had been on the government's radar ever since they first appeared, having stolen a horse belonging to Dazoqan Valerian simply known as 'Galitz Horse'. After shocking the Senators by handing Lhewi a tooth of the horse, the minion was swiftly arrested and held captive in a ship docked at Raykara's Northern Harbour.
Upon the conclusion of this surprising event, Kaiser Jeremy (who had shown up just after the Bakers Union minion had been arrested) approached Lhewi, and indiscreetly proclaimed to all of those on the ship that he wished to bestow all of his titles and belongings onto Lhewi. Bewildered, Lhewi graciously accepted the Kaiser's generous offer, and travelled back with him to Iscander to finalise the transfer of power. After Kaiser Jeremy officially abdicated, Lhewi assumed the throne, and also became the new co-ruler of Garmillia-Raykara.
=== Retirement from Public Life & Death ===
Shortly after being gifted the royal titles that bestowed him as the new co-ruler of Garmillia-Raykara, Lhewi would slowly step back from public life. He did this by slowly handing off his public duties to his peers and subordinates. This started when Lhewi handed over the administrative reigns of Raykara City to his Akesirro, followed by handing over his monarchical power to his fellow co-ruler. Sightings of Lhewi would be rare thereafter, and although it became common knowledge that Lhewi had retired, nobody knew exactly where to.
This mystery would follow Lhewi to the end, where it is assumed he perished during the fatal Comet War.
