High Councilman

**FrozenCoati** is a long-time citizen of The Archonate of Sironia and the Empire of Astyllea who fulfills government roles in both. FrozenCoati was the first person to be anointed as a Cleric in the Sakrelist Faith in the Modern Era and the first member of the Holy Synod of Sironia. He has left Sironia periodically throughout his time in order to travel through Rathnir and spread the Sakrelist faith, or to write scholarly accounts of current events. His home is the Coati Residence in the city of Azethvir and he overseas the Eglisar of Azethvir alongside Cleric Madhursumi, managing faith properties such as the Sanctum of the Judge. FrozenCoati is a Astyllean High Council member, representing The Archonate of Sironia within the Imperial government. His pastimes include fishing and traveling.

## Early Life

FrozenCoati (also known as *Echan Thiron*) was born on the tip of the Sironian Peninsula in the settlement of Badgersnatch as a member of the local proto-omverlonian tribe that resided there. His time consisted of hunting for wild boar in the Sironian forests and fishing in the seas, as well as reading what few books his father and grandfather collected on their trade expeditions south.

When Frozen was thirteen years old a eastern slave ship passed by the Sironian Peninsula and attacked Badgersnatch, resulting in many tribesman being put into bondage and shipped east. In the chaos of the raid Frozen's parents roused his brother CryingBoulder and him from their beds and fled south. After several days travel they arrived at the city of Azethvir, ruled by the Archon TheLastSven. TheLastSven welcomed the refugees and offered them land in the northern part of the city to settle in, where FrozenCoati's family built a traditional lodge.

FrozenCoati's mother became a basket weaver and his father became a fisherman. FrozenCoati came to be mentored by the Archon TheLastSven, who taught him how to write and speak Sagaviri. FrozenCoati abandoned his peoples traditional gods and instead embraced Sakrelism. Seeing potential in the young boy, elderly Cleric Turuk began to teach FrozenCoati in the ways of the Sakrelist Clergy. FrozenCoati studied The Book of Ataron and by the age of fifteen had contributed to making early copies which found their way outside of Sironia to lands far away. Divine Sakrelith proved far more difficult for the young Frozen to understand and copy, though eventually this also too happened.

When FrozenCoati turned 16 he was made a Priest by Cleric Turuk and permitted to lead services for the faithful. Frozen proved a quick learner and embraced his new role, using what little money he earned as a Priest to buy himself a proper home along the river within Azethvir. Gradually Cleric Turuk performed fewer services himself until Frozen was 20 years old and was solely leading the congregation. Cleric Turuk became ill around this time and anointed Frozen as a Cleric prior to his passing away from pneumonia at the age of 93.

## First Archonate of Sironia

Archon TheLastSven attended Cleric Turuk's funeral and there made the decision to name FrozenCoati as the sole member of Sironia's legislative body, the Holy Synod. As the sole member of the Holy Synod Frozen was able to easily pass laws and make decisions nearly unchecked, though unlike most was not corrupted by the power given to him. His early career was measured by a strict adherence to traditional Sironian law and the advice of TheLastSven, and Sironia prospered under the leadership of the pair.

As time passed two more members joined the Holy Synod, that being IceBotQT and NE555P. Frozen would get along well with both and the trio would pass many resolutions to the benefit of the Sironian people, leading them through the troubles of early Rathniri politics. While IceBotQT was known for her radical views and NE555P for his diplomatic skills, Frozen spent much of his time cultivating his abilities as a Cleric. At the age of 22 Frozen journeyed out of Sironia to visit Theionikos and other sites important to the faith. It was around this time that Frozen became familiar with the closely related Theiosist faith, and developed a friendly working relationship with LethalMuffin.

When FrozenCoati was 23 he witnessed the Three Miracles of Azethvir and participated in driving away attacking bandits from The Sanctum of the Judge alongside fellow worshiper and prominent swordsman BladeofJae. Not long after this notable engagement was Sironia assaulted by bandits DodgNodge, Master\_NR and MineDodge in the Battle of Sironia. FrozenCoati directly participated in fortifying the city by planting hundreds of berry bushes, collapsing the entrance to Azethvir and establishing ladders to allow for easy access for allied troops. VAWR (Vastallosi Alliance of Western Rathnir) troops poured into Azethvir and a great pillar of water rained down onto the world as a sign of Sakrelith's blessing of Sironia.
The next day the battle commenced and FrozenCoati was among those fighting. Frozen struck down numerous bandits and was injured multiple times throughout the day. Following the victory the heads of the bandits were removed and put on display in the Sanctum of the Judge as a token of thanks to Sakrelith for giving Sironia victory. Confidence was high and Frozen's flock swelled with worshipers eager to experience Sakrelith's light. When Frozen was 25 the Coalition-Trillium War broke out. It was a surety that the war would have many casualties and rather than waste his life trying as a member of the infantry, or risk the lives of Sironian's as their commander Frozen chose instead to play the role of surgeon. FrozenCoati traveled to the site of the first battle in Cahuarn, and helped to treat wounded men post-battle.

FrozenCoati was not present at the Skirmish of the Valley nor the Battle of the Silver Citadel, though he was present at The Battle of Urnu-Arrak (one of the most decisive and bloody battles in Rathnir history). Having set up camp some ways away from the expected battlefield, Frozen listened to the sounds of men dying and swords clashing.

As time passed hordes of wounded men stumbled into his camp or were carried by their comrades on litters. Frozen set to work stitching of lacerations and plugging stab wounds and setting men aside with concussions. Hours passed and the wounded continued to flood in and Frozen's supplies began to dwindle so he began to make use of whatever was available yet despite it all, patients died under his care. Frozen's work continued into the night and then the next day, before he finally collapsed from exhaustion. When he next awoke he learned that the wounded had their bandits changed, and many seemed to have recovered miraculously. Frozen later chronicled this miracle as well as his experiences as a surgeon in *Eve of Battle* a memoir of the war.

## Leaving Sironia & Joining Serafini

Coalition-Trillium War ended in defeat for the coalition, and with it many Sironian's had died; so many in fact that it caused a population collapse in Sironia which led to the First Sironian Dark Age. Archon TheLastSven disappeared and several successor quick took their place and then died without accomplishing much of note. In the chaos of this time it became unsafe in Sironia and Frozen, broken by his experiences as a surgeon during the Coalition-Trillium War packed his bags and left for foreign shores to once again find his faith. He went east and traveled along, sleeping in inns and on the cold ground.

FrozenCoati would join a number of different small states over this time, including JCON where he owned a parcel of forest. Still searching Frozen eventually found his way to the Serene Republic of Serafini in the east. Their capital had an abandoned Sanctum, the Sanctum of Asala which had fallen into disrepair. Deciding this was the place to settle down Frozen join the Serafini and took residence in the Sanctum as he would work to convert the native population.

He was arrested days after his arrival on charges of theft. Frozen was locked away and it appeared that he would die in a Serafinian jail; until the culprit truly responsible for the theft was discovered and arrested. The charges against Frozen were dropped and he forgave the Serafinian state for the false arrest, which had been done on account of his being a foreigner new to the city. Frozen was invited to join the Serafinian government as a member of their ruling legislature and he graciously accepted.

Serafini was a stagnant city with a complex bureaucracy in inefficient government. Time passed and Frozen's flock grew slowly, though factions had begun to form in the Serafinian government which culminated in a sudden coup d'etat. The Republic was overthrown peacefully and a new Empire was established in it's place. Frozen quickly rose to prominence as a leader in the Republican Faction which sought to restore the Republic that Serafini had once lived under, though change was difficult and eventually Frozen decided to leave Serafini for new lands.

## Later Life & Return to Sironia

Traveling north FrozenCoati found his way to the lands of Chimu, where he settled for a brief time. High above the rest of the world on the top of Chimu's mountainous terrain, FrozenCoati reconnected with his faith. While his time in Chimu was short, it had been eventful and the friendships made there served him well, helping him as he moved on from Chimu and began the next phase of his life.

Over the next fifteen years Coati traveled across Rathnir, stopping in many cities and briefly living in many. The artifacts collected from these journeys would eventually find their way back to Sironia when the Cleric (promoted to Prophet-Descendant at the age of 40) finally decided to return to his homeland.

At 50 years of age, FrozenCoati returned to Sironia and spent the the last two years restoring the nation to order and training two new Clerics, Madhursumi and J2da. He was formally invited to and joined the High Council of The Empire of Astyllea as Sironia's representative, he formally divided Sironia into four Eglisars and he has returned the population to a survivable population through the encouragement of immigration.
