== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Deylan Staslov was born on an unknown day (due to conflicting calendar systems) in a distant land, in the city of Rathunas. Deylan was a very active child, always running about the family estate and getting into trouble. Born into a noble family, Deylan was sent to study at the local university from a young age. There, he studied economics, geography, political science, and other general subjects. However, when a civil war erupted in his home nation and several noble houses were the targets of mass killings, he fled in fear of persecution at the age of 27.
=== Arrival in Rathnir ===
Arriving in Rathnir around the age of 30, Deylan began the immigration process into Fjellheim, where he took up residence in the city of Minas Frost. There he worked for a short period as a miner, mysteriously having two kids in the process, Alaric Staslov and Flint Staslov, Alaric being older by around two years. After a year or two's stint as a miner, Deylan gathered his belongings and moved North with his kids, founding the Fjelli Settlement Fort Staslov, promptly renaming it to Stalvirki after a suggestion from his children. There, he and his family worked diligently to grow the burgeoning town into the large economic center it would become. To this day, Deylan still continues to consider Stalvirki his greatest accomplishment.
=== Battle of Ornvik ===
However, early on into House Staslov's arrival on the geopolitical scene with the construction of Stalvirki, Deylan quickly found himself in the midst of high tensions between the current Fjelli government and the City of Ornvik, (now dissolved,) which was the capital of the province that Stalvirki fell into. Deylan, having had few pleasant experiences with the Ornvikian regime before, decided to side with the government against the city of Ornvik. This ended up being the right choice, as after a large period of conflict between the two and almost outright rebellion, the Fjelli government had a large portion of the Ornvikian government publicly executed. However, in response, what few government officials that remained decided to declare independence from Fjellheim, inciting the Battle of Ornvik, where Deylan bravely led a regiment of Staslovic troops against the garrisoned Ornvikian troops, taking significant losses and becoming exceptionally disorganized when the battle broke out, as the Staslovic troops had little military training and few numbers, being mostly minutemen and militia volunteers from Stalvirki.
