Stew Dovialka

Stew Dovialka, Prince of Helos, was the heir to the Heloisan throne as the eldest son of Bitter and Rosemary Dovialka. He was the Duke of Weinstadt and served terms as the Minister of Finance and later the Minister of Infrastructure. Upon his father's death on 21 August, 2022 he would inherit the title of Duke of Helostadt and Tsar of Heldrak. However due to his rampant decline in sanity, Stew would relinquish his title to Doc_G, ending the Dovialka Dynasty of Helos. 3 months after he relinquished his title, he would die of a brain tumor.
== Early Life ==
Born in the northern deserts of Rodinnbrok, his mother would die in childbirth from her second pregnancy when he was only three years of age. This forced his father, Bitter Dovialka, to flee across the sea to the island of Stormgova. There he would spend most of his early education in the fort of Osstieo. However, impending Simulami raids forced Stew and the early Heloisans out of the Stormgovan Island to the Holzinsel Islands.
When the men first landed they quickly realized a strong lack of food with them and on this new island. They too noticed an abandoned shack on this island which they thought they could raid but promptly realized nothing was there, so they placed some chests, a wheat farm, and some barrels for brewing. They claimed the land under Holzinsel. In the small shack, the refugees would take shelter; for during the early years the temperate climate did not suit crops leading to starvation among the masses until a new breed of sweet berry was produced.
As Holzinsel slowly grew Bitter decided to become a Marxist nation with a parliament for Bitter being the Chancellor based off of the new political theories of his day. Because of the new found parliament, the people began creating a parliament hall which had in the back a law idea book which you could use to write your ideas of what laws should be in the nation; these laws were supposed to be voted on every Friday.
While the laborers, Atlas and MurderPanda, were mining one day, they came across a jilted occult temple. They would find inscriptions stating that they needed to sacrifice people to the gods, this would lead to the formation of the Blood Cult. With the help of the 16yo Stew, the men decided to write a book in which it described all the gods and its mythos of this sacred location. The new holy land and modernistic beliefs lead Hozinsel to start to growing fast, and soon multiple projects began, such as a public storehouse and minor monuments.
== The War of the Coalition ==
=== Start of the War ===
As the Heloisan people settled in the city of Ostland in Iron Scar, later the Iron Freeholds(where modern day Kodnor is in Eiendom), the alliance group of the Coaliton of Governments, or C.O.G., was formed as a pretensive measure to gain the independence for the Four Kingdoms of Osteon, Tyrus, Lewes, and Rasteria on the eastern edge of Iron Scar. As soon as the sovereignty of these righteous nations was declared however, the war pigs of Iron Scar threatened C.O.G. with war in which they would oblige.
=== Siege of Ostland ===
The first actions of the war would first see fruit in the Sea of Kjoldverd where the Empirical forces would blockade and siege the port of Ostland. With no C.O.G. naval presence in the region the besieged Ossteon-Heloisan's would lose their supply lines to The Capitol. The newly besieged Osteon forces used their extensive seawall of the coastal region to help prevent any amphibious assaults on their mainland. Towards the South-West of the city the dense old oak growths prevented any push into the main of the city by land.
Stationed in the interior of the city with the King and his generals, Stew would slowly learn the ways of war, feeling a sense of betterment than his comrades, in which shows in one his speeches where as "My fellow men and nationals aren't adorning towards the hours of dimming candlelight with our antebellum ways becoming aweary, even towards unpalatable, for the survivability of our humanities meritable actions... As [these] inequitable waves are stashing from the tide of powers turning back outwards, old ways have become costly in the directives of time with production, resulting in a null. As such our new chit shall induce further ukase towards history with [our] diplomatic policies induced by the avoirdupois of the edified world’s cracks..." 
As the siege looked ever dimmer 3 1/2 months in, the Ossteon Elite would fall back, sneaking through the impenetrable forest and into The Capitols vast bunker lines. His time in the C.O.G.'s bunkers would allow him to meet his great roommate Nippy. There the two with the help of Atlas, would help industrialize the brewing industry to an unprecedented scale. The Prince's times in the industrial heartland of the Coalition was well remarked in his journal but short-lived as in a months time he was sent off to fight once more.
=== Trenches of Monzar ===
As the eyes of the C.O.G. peoples were blared to the Western theatre of Ossteon and Tyres, the waiting space on the doors of The Capitol let MrPancake and his associates set up the town of Monzar. This new fortress, for obvious reasons, alarmed the Kingdom's, where every man set upon the Monzarian city. Soon the trenchworks of this great siege would be formed leading to new quagmire in wake.
Forced into the new siege, Stew would be commanding the 1st and 2nd Artillery Divisions from the rear, laying waste to the cities interior with the newest 150mm Howitzers. In due time, Stew was sent to the front line as the meatgrinder continued churring. The quickly made ditches, dressed up as trenchworks made of mud as thick as dough, found itself no place for the royalty; but from the desecrated army, he would have to fight. The carnage of the siege was by his account only on the C.O.G.'s own men, where the Monzarian's had what seemed to have lost not even a soul.
With the losing numbers and lack of progress made, the C.O.G. armies would fall back into the jungles of The Capitol
=== Guerilla Fighting in the Jungle ===
As the remaining C.O.G. men fell back to the jungles, Stew would leave back into the bunkers with the other higher ups. As shells rained overhead, the tempted overhead supports would crumble, leaving most of the structure in ruin. This lead stew into the deep, underground tunnel system that lead to much of the frontlines. In his time the swamped shafts, he would once again start making the brews that he used too with Nippy and Atlas. Though the war would be short-lived, as Iron Scar would blast the landscape with mass fire charges, leaving the capitol to burn with peace following suit. 
== Times in Plagatean Michinaru ==
After the war, Stew stayed secluded in a deep depression that seemed endless. But then his luck changed when he joined the refugee town named after his good friend, Nippington. There he would get married to his dear love, Atlas. By no luck, a corrupt senator would attempt a raid on Nippington but to no avail. From this event, Stew, and his continued roommate, Nippy, would offer the newly wed to help help him on his architectural business venture that would charge $500 per hour of work, the cheapest at the time. They would get an offer to set up shop in Vexilly's(Leader from C.O.G.) new Plagatean town of Minatocho. 
During his early years in the Hanate, Stew would be seen as untrustworthy, but after time he would grow into the local court, eventually becoming a regent of the town of Drewseath. During his stay in the grand capital, he would receive a formal education and converted to the local religion of The Zavtranian Pantheon, meantime acquainting himself with the local leader of Leon. The Prince's part in Nippy's Construction would allow him to delineate the bridge of Minatocho, and help start works in his own city of Drewseath. In these three years, the C.O.G. forces would capture the flying city of Heli, naming the new nation Heldrak; furthering the divide between the members of C.O.G. who went to Plagatea, and those who stayed in the alliance.
In the course of time, mercenary bandits were to the town of Minatocho sent by the corrupt senator of Heldrak, SpaceMan; The local population was angered by this act of aggression to where the First Crusade of Flying Jerusalem was launched on the members of Heldrak.
== The Wars in Heldrak ==
=== Plagatean Crusades and Inevitable War ===
The attack on the flying city of Rotor began as the two heads of state, Bitter and Aegus, found much of the island in disrepair with a newly piece of claimed land with a statue planted in it's place. Alongside a hut, Aegus would locate 2 Kardovians, initially presuming them to be squatters, the two would ask them to leave, but the men replied to them, saying they were the real squatters. This was seen as an attack so Bitter and Aegus would attack the two crusaders, killing them both, and looting from them the holy artefact of the Fang of Co.
After the battle had occurred Stew would mass steal intel, leaving to the city of Heli, abandoning Plagatea. He would earn himself citizen of the new state by showing his insider works, and secure himself in the nation by pillaging the towns Minatocho and Kardivia, as they had done to Heldrak. In the waking hours of the new conflict, Stew would start work on an extensive underground bunker system for oncoming war. As constuction kept underway, a second raid would be commenced by the Plagatean forces. Two days after the first attack, two Plagatean's would kill the 4 online Heldrakion men, stealing their loot and leaving without a trace. The new, and successful, attack would scare the remaining Heldrakion's, leading Stew and Atlas to destroy the lowest island platform to prevent another mass attack.
=== Heldrak Civil War ===
Stew's time in as an architect allowed him to help plan and build the central government building from the previous church-like hall. While construction carried on, the corrupt senators of the new republic started to steal the wealth of the public to place into their own private coffers, the new turnout that the man that had sent the mercenaries was a senator, and that the house was too divided to vote on anything lead his father, Bitter, to declare himself the Tsar of Heldrak.
The controversial news angered the fallen senators but this was no surprise to the new Tsar leading to him, Stew, Atlas, and a few elite soldiers holding up in the central building. As negotiations began to fail, the only choice left was that to escape. Jumping out of the back window, the few men would elude to the underground bunker, initially planned for the Plagatean war. In the bunker, Stew and the Tsar would further circumvent the rebel forces by leaving through a tunnel networking, leading to mainland.
On mainland, the two would head for Plagatea for peace negations and the prospect of an alliance. At the meeting, Leon and his men would serve Stew and Bitter with hospitality. The meeting would see an end to aggression with the Plagatean Empire, heading down to the church tower to get baptized by the high priest. This would make Plagatea look towards the new rebel forces for war. While the meeting saw the end to what would have been a death sentence, many of the remaining Heldrakion Loyalist's were angered by this sudden change of heart. This caused many of the remaining to stop support of the true government, and intead join rebel occupied Heldrak.
After hearing of the meeting, the 12 year old Senator Spaceman would conclude diplomatic talks with the Confederation of Anarchist Communes, winning over their hearts with lies, and by satisficing their thirst. His actions of bringing in a foreign nation lead Plagatea to back off from the war; with no one left to fight for him, Stew and Tsar Bitter would sail back down south, trying to reach Plagatea. However on their way the winds would shift back, crashing them into a few uninhabited islands.
== Times in Helos ==
=== Settlement of the Heloisian Isles ===
The marooned royalty and crew, on what is now the shores of Weinstadt, first set up a shack to stay the nights. By morning, Stew, and a hunt party of 4 other men, deviated through the light woodlands, finding large quantities of berries, ripe for wine making. Further ventures for game on the island found the colonists crude, uncivilized race of fox's that walked on two feet. Astonished at the innate horrors of this fallen breed of man, Stew immediately ordered his men to round up the primitives on to the island of Valstand. On the island, the rogues would all meet up at the pre-existing city of Aurum(Giving the isle its name); but after the last man was forded across, Stew's men would set the island ablaze, setting up the first fort of the island.
Back at the shores, sections of the forested south of the island would be slashed to make way for its agricultural needs. The towns of Weinstadt, named after the plentiful wine berries, and Atlas, named after Stew's wife, would be first settled, supplying most of the early colony's grain for bread. As further maps of the islands were made, the north-western quarter of the main island would be seen as well suited for the capitol of the new, Heloisan nation. As soon as the best maps were first shown, Stew would plan out the streets of the new city. After the first hall was built, Bitter would declare these isles under his new Principality of Helos.
=== Expansion of the Reich ===
==== Early Expansion and Nova Azcorian Occupation ====
During the early years of the principality, the Heloisan navy would sail south to map out the Aquinterran Sea. In the center of the grand sea laid a series of mountainous or swamped islands. On the northern most island presented the crippling settlement formed by the Batu people. Finding no human inhabitation, the Heloisan sailors would build the fort Sumpf. After planting the grand flag, the Naval exploration would head back north to the port of Helostadt.
At home the Navy told King Bitter, and Stew, about the untapped potential of the new isle. A second expedition was soon sent underway, but when the men landed back at the fort, Azcorian forces had seized the fort. Under presumed threat the hardened naval commanders fired at the fort leading to a minor naval battle ensuing. In the fog off the advancing battle, Stew would write a poem about the chaos as follows,
"O say, can you see, By the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd, At the twilight's last gleaming?, Whose broad stripes and bright eagle flies, Through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, Were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night, That our flag was no longer there, O say, does that flying banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free, And the home of the brave"
The imediate post-battle brought Bitter to his knees. The majority of his fleet had been brought down by the Azcorian's superior artillery, and with the gloom of war overhead, Bitter would start negotiations with the Nova Azcorian's with Stew. As soon as the initial diplomacy started, the Azcorian chancellor would announce to the Heloisan's that their attack was unjust. That their occupation of the fort was to protect against recent pirates spotted in the region. Bitter, trying to think of a way to keep his sovereignty and his newly acquired isle, came up with a deal that put Helos as a protectorate of Nova Azcoria while remaining the ability to vote to leave whenever they reach 30 players. The treaty included a secondary part that allowed the Heloisan's to keep the isles was a small stanza stated that the Nova Azcorian's could only control the small island with the fort, while Helos kept the remainder of the islands.
Under Nova Azcorian occupation, the newly formed principality would stagnate. This lasted weeks, until a mass migration of low-class A.W.E. workers poured into the nation. One of the best of these workers was the famed Pikaland, who built many of the nether-highways, along with starting a mass plantation on the fertile swamps of the Sumpf Isle. This growth in population lead Helos to a population of 30, but after the vote came, the reluctant bureaucrats of Nova Azcoria denied the authenticity of the vote. After much squabbling, the final deal by Stew, was that the Azcorians could keep the fortress for the next 15 SMP years.
==== Domatian Integration ====
The newly declared independent Heloisan Kingdom would start its new journey by kickstarting it's original goal of complete domination over the Aquinterra sea. The Kingdom's eyes continued south, off the border of Bai to the small kingdom of New Domatia. Starting diplomatic talks with the minor kingdom, Stew and Bitter would settle sweat lies into the Domatian ears about how any of the bigger nations around them were going colonize them without any terms. This scared the Domatian's into becoming a protectorate of the quickly expanding Heloisan Reich.
In the quick expansion, the Heloisan populace would outgrow the capability of a singular king. As such, the Heloisan Parliament would be formed as a set of 5 ministers to work for the king, voted in by the commons. Stew would become one of the first ministers, as the Minister of Finance. Though his new position, Stew would still stay as the Prince and defacto second in command.
Immediately under Heloisan protection, the New Domatian's would get raided by the Black Skull Pirates prior to the then Queen Maple's wedding with Emperor Neo of Uraka. The King, paranoid of another fatal war, would decline any opportunity to invade the pirates. This riled up the Domatian's leading to Maple and her followers leaving to the Uraki Imperium. In the wake of the Domatian exodus, the parliament of Helos would force Maple into a contract that would state as follow
# Old New Domation land will be given to Helos
# The man[Atlas] will be able to watch over, however he will not be trusted till he can prove himself
# We will continue the protection of New Domatia
The complacent Domatian's would only request one condition for the Heloisan's. That was to keep the native, Varenai, religion practicable in the native Domatian lands, Bitter Accepted.
==== Sotranian Civil War ====
As the final nation of the southern competence was delt with, the Heloisan's looked north to the nation of Sotrania. During this time in their nation, the Sotranian royalty would be forcefully moved by a coup against them. The weaken, and exiled, King Taurig would side with the Heloisans, leading them to the Royal Courts of Valstand. In their stay, the exiled Sotranian's would promise the Heloisans that if they supported their side of the civil war, the Heloisan would gain an Union with the Sotranian's.
The prospects of mainland fooled the Heloisan Elites into siding with the unpopular royalty. The union would be forged with King Bitter becoming the fiancé to Princess Blooper, marrying her after the war to be won. After the initial diplomacy with King Bitter, Stew would be placed in charge of diplomatic talks with the fugitives. While Bitter was planning the war to retake the Sotranian Crown, he noticed the shear incompetence of the Sotranian Monarchy, quickly replacing them for the much more popular Sotranian Nationals. The betrayal towards the Sotranian Royalty was not mentioned to them, instead Stew and King Bitter formulated a plan to give the men fake intel to lead the Sotranian's towards the wrong direction. The fake intel however would become the main plan for the battle due to Stew not being informed about the lies. 
Heloisan marines would land at the battle site of New Kythnos 3 hours before the apparent start of the battle. Stationed in the center of the main plaza, the Heloisan's, under command of Stew and King Bitter, would wait 4 hours before the start of the battle due to apparent delays. While waiting, the Ahalian Army would arrive to help serve in the battle, positioning themselves at the nearby Café. Further delays would be sent to the entrenched soldiers, but 37 minutes before the apparent start of the battle, the Sotranian Royalist force would arrive, instantly being gunned down by the Heloisan Riflemen. 
On the start of the main battle, the Aquatosi force came in, as though they had teleported. Stew had been positioned in the back, towards an old townhouse, while Bitter had fought vigorously against the Aquintos forces, but getting himself wounded. After getting radio telegraphed of the horrific news, Stew would leave to the balcony of the house to check in, but to witness the horrors of the Ahalian Army yelling, "Retreat!" Heading to the docks, where by process getting encircled by Aquatosi forces, leading to them all dying. Without any remaining men, Stew would sue for peace in the main plaza, ending the battle, bringing home the injured king by the now dead marines Iron Clad.
==== Heloisan Squatter Problems ====
The immediate post-battle saw a new doctrine in Heloisan diplomacy, that of peace at all costs. This angered Stew, and the Royal Military Advisor, who wanted Heloisa to invade the New Moon Company, which the inactive nation would have proved defenseless against the then Heloisan supremacy over the region. However, Bitter stayed adamant about keeping his peace. Then the prospect of invading New Moon to launch an invasion into Ahalia came to option. This idea at first intrigued the King due to the Ahalian's recent militaristic disaster at New Kythnos. The Heloisans, with more numbers and with Veteran troops, thought it would be a viable time to strike. But from a faulty intelligence report that stated that Ahalia was allied with the imposing Zamotz Union, any operations in the works were canceled, and instead better relations with the Dutchy were pursued. 
Any other future plans of invasion were put aside temporarily, for the now neglected southern parts of the sea would prove itself the breeding ground for squatters. The most negligible were the two separate claims, the first on the island of Athvarf, and the second being the abandoned Austral Isle. The smaller of the two were the ones camping in Fort Austral. As officer Phbs was scouting the area, he noticed that the squatting force, of the two, were online. Immediately, the Heloisan Marines rushed to the area, imediately failing. After peace talks by Stew failed, the Marines rushed the men killing them immediately. The enraged Heloisan's killed the men 10 times. The soldiers would then pace multiple phallic objects across the fort, giving it the nickname, among the ranks, "Fort Richard". The squatter force insisted they would leave if they got payed. Reluctantly, Bitter would pay 4000 dollars to the squatter force. Imediately, the squatters would run away to the shore, but Stew would catch up with him, killing the man. The squatter would then unclaimed the land, leaving immediately after.
The longer lasting settlement on Athvarf would take time to settle, with the members being on inactively, but still active enough where it couldn't be unclaimed. This lead to a month long phony war, where the members of Helos would place signs, build towers, and attempt to message the leaders. Finally when negotiations began, the initial thought was to just politely ask them to leave, which of course failed. Stew would then immediately start threatening the the squatters with what happened at Fort Austral, but the Minister of Diplomacy said to try to be kind due to these people not understanding the rules. Kindness would soon no longer work, with the squatter's diplomats repeating, "If it isn't claimed then its free land to take." Now frustrated and tired, Bitter would just pay the people to leave, ending the problem.
=== Collapse and the Heloisan Brotherhood Freedom Fighters ===
The now homeless squatters on Athvarf would find themselves 500 meters away at the city of Seatopia. As the city kept growing, a great famine wiped through the population of Helos from a bad harvest from isle of Sumpf, and merely wine berries from the main island. The now diminished population of Heloisa was worried about an incoming invasion from the now prosperous Seatopians. Trying to seek protection, Bitter and Stew went to the Ahalians for help and protection. Soon Helos would belong under the growing Ahalian Empire as a protectorate.
Now under occupation once more much of the population was annoyed, but complacent. As the way things go, the growing Ahalian Empire would ignore the diminished Heloisan's, instead caring more about the Vladigradian's than their colony. This, for serious reason, infuriated the Heloisan Brotherhood, newly created against the Ahalian unjust treatment. The Brothers, under command of Stew, would run diplomatic talks over the Ahalian king Theo, but he would start oppressing the culture even greater, even calling the men "Monkeys". In the end, the final straw would be Ahalia annexing portions of Helos for their inglorious empire, without the ability to secede. Because of these events, Stew, without the consent of the King or Ahalia, would start diplomatic talks with the A.W.E. to regain sovereignty. After sovereignty was regained, the Brotherhood would be dismantled.
