Soulfood

Soulfood was the second King of Galadonn and head of the Galadonni armed forces. He was born in the town of Imperavir where he started as a peasant and worked himself up the ranks, becoming a military general in the Cornflower-War, leading the Galadonni military to victory against a world coalition in the Neo-Carnian Revolution thereby becoming a national hero and eventually succeeding the Crown of Galadonn after the abdication of King Cassius.
== Early Life ==
Soulfood was born as the first son of poor peasants in the slums of Imperavir in Galadonn. Soulfood would train to improve his fighting skills day and night in his child hood dreaming of becoming a knight of Galadonn to feed his family. One day he would come across Stoylen Senator of Galadonn as well as King Cassius. They would quickly recognize his potential and would grant him a high education and he would from than on spend most of his time alongside Stoylen, Cass and other high goverment officals learning from them, both militarly and politically.
== Rise to power ==
=== Becoming a General ===
He would prove his fighting abilities and tactical skills quickly and would be given the rank of general around the time of the Cornflower War, in which he came out to be one of the best soldiers.
=== Joining the High Goverment ===
Soulfood would also get into blacksmithing, building up the Galadonni Armory and earn a lot of money by mercenary work and mining. Therefore he was appointed Senator of Economy by the King and entered the high government. As Senator of Economy he would contribute largely to the National treasury and build up friendly relations with many nations and influential people. He also teached many young Galadonnis how to earn money effectively, which boosted the economy a lot.
=== Becoming the leader of the military ===
In april of 2023 rumors began to spread among the Galadonni high command of the alleged return of Drach and Kerplis, the leaders of the collapsed nation of Carn. This was a big deal because Galadonn owned two thirds of what ones was Carn espically the former capital of Carn Lestria. Initially these rumors were considered nonsense but than turned out to be factual and Drach and Kerplis returned (got unbanned). With their return Drach immediately send an ultimate to Galadonn, demanding all former Carnian territories. Especially in the west Galadonnis had been living ever since the collapse of Carn so this was an unacceptable demand, the Ultimatum was denied and Drach declared a total death war on Galadonn alongside a world coalition consisting of various nations such as: Viesten/Sironia, Eastern and Northern parts of Carn, Escharia, Sirradra, the Free Cities of Alteniquia, Ryzan, Kartek and Daelyria.
This was a shock to Galadonn as it had never been under attack or had to face any rebellions before. While many people began to panic, evacuate from galadonni towns and loose hope Soulfood began to plan out the defense of Galadonnia which was being attacked from the viestenese/carnian port town of Illevaine. Building those defensives would turn out to not be easy because Galadonnia was a huge city but with soulfoods great organizing skills the defensives were finished before the first battle started. At the same time Soulfood bought contracts for Aragothan mercenaries and enacted galadonns alliances. Thereby securing a capable fighting force for the upcoming battles.
Eventually the defenders of Galadonnia would be victorious under soulfoods command and even went so far as to counter attack and siege the town of Illevaine. 
=== Aftermath of the War ===
After the war was over and Carn had reintegrated into Galadonn, including their former viestenese holdings, thereby making Galadonn even bigger than before the rebellion. Soulfood had now proven to be a potential successor for the King and unofficially become the Second in command in Galadonn. 
=== Illness ===
Soulfood would become severely ill for many months (get banned for 6 months) and would retire from all his political offices. The odd were not high for soulfood to recover from his illness until his condition suddenly improved in a matter of a few days and he could come back and immediately resume his politic offices.
=== Becoming King ===
In the 6 months of Soulfoods absence Galadonn had changed a lot. The activity had fallen drastically, the King became more and more unpopular and many people, even the biggest loyalist to Galadonn, began to loose hope. But just as during the war Soulfood came in and saved the day: He took over the government unofficially within a single day, as the King hat lost any interest in continuing his reign and soulfood decided with the approval and large support of the people of Galadonn to departure from the Empire of Yimmu-Audal and to replace Cass as King of Galadonn with himself.
== Kingship ==
Soulfood was regarded as a very well liked King especially by the Leodonians, Volstronians and Carnians. He offered a lot more freedom than the former King and renovated the the government. He boosted activity largley and build up strong allinces to foregein nations. Thereby he positioned Galadonn well in the political landscape of Rathnir and made Galadonn more secure than ever before while, offering a lot of freedom to his citizens and space for worldbuilding activities. 
He generallly was regarded as the person who had saved Galadonn twice from foreign and internal collapse and enjoyed great loyalty among his government members and the galadonni population. His career was symbolic for the history of Galadonn. Just as Galadonn grew from a small city to the dominant nation in Aldovir. Soulfood worked himself up from a poor peasants son to being King of Galadonn. 
== His Death ==
As the news of the comet arrived Soulfood aw all what he worked for, all the pain and suffering he had to endure for the sake of Galadonn to be for nothing, He tried to the best of his abilties to make Galadonn a better place and to protect it from outside threats. But now with the comet Galadonn and all of Rathnir and Eldham faced something far beyond anyones abilties and so Soulfood to decide to abdicate as King immediately. In the chaos the old King Cassius was reinstated as King but due to unpopular support Galadonn would collapse less than a week after Soulfoods abdication. Shortly afterwards Soulfood would die of unexplained reasons.
