Yanik Arvanacae

Yanik Arvanacae is a native born Zerilin who was born to a peasant family, and raised in the Kingdom of Zeril's capital city of Fallem. His complexion is slightly pale in comparison to most Zerilin people, as his father is from "a long dead land, lost to time" as he described. After months of assisting the building and resource collection efforts in Fallem, Yanik was granted the unique role of Commander of The Kal'dariin Order by the Kingdom's Monarch Tariri Sto Zerilin. He now Commands the Kal'dariin from their Headquarters of Kal'atir in Zeril's Frontier Region to the west.
Yanik was determined to break free of the Peasantry and bestow the gift of nobility to his family name. A mix of wanting more for his bloodline, and a fear of obscurity drove his fiery focus since he was a child. Yanik was well educated for a peasant, as he was allowed to work as an apprentice in the Fallem University Library in his early teen years.
He spent his early adulthood as a builder and resource collector. Some of his notable works from this time included Fallem's first and only public tree farm, and their newest mine called "Pale Rock Mine". Yanik was also heavily involved in the construction of Fallem's Capital Palace. He had spent over 8 days collecting resources, and building the first sections of the Palace.
== History ==
=== Family and Childhood ===
Yanik was born to a peasant family in Fallem. His mother was a textile worker who made carpets and fabrics for homes and businesses. Yanik's father was a logger, and a blacksmith's striker. He helped in the forging of everything from the nails that build Zeril, to the swords and armor that protect it. His parents worked such tasking jobs to make Yanik's early life as comfortable as a peasant child could hope for. He was taught at a young age that hard work, a quick mind, and a pure spirit are the key to unlocking the entire world. Due to his parents' teachings, Yanik pursued higher education and basic labor at the age of 10. He worked in Fallem University's Grand Library. He organized books, cleaned, and was allowed to read and practice writing during the down time.
By the age of 15, Yanik had secretly saved large portions of his wages for the 5 years he worked in the Library. He used the money to buy the family new clothes, a month's worth of food, and a small bar of silver. He brought the silver to his father and the blacksmith, and asked them to forge it into something of their choice. Yanik's father chose to forge Yanik a beautiful medallion. The medallion bore the picture of a beautiful tree, which symbolized the origins for the Arvanacae Family's last name.
=== Early Adulthood ===
Yanik wished to experience a similar labor as his father. Instead of logging, Yanik chose the route of a builder, and resource collector. Yanik's greatest contributions are to the Fallem Tree Farm, The Pale Rock Mine, and the walls of the Grand Capital Palace (Not yet named as of 8/15/24) of Zeril. (More to come as events unfold)
