Schwealer

## History

**Schwealer** wandered into the spawn jungle on January 6, 2021. A traveler of unknown origins, Schwealer began looking for a community in which he could belong. After days of being lost in the jungle, Schwealer finally felt he had escaped the wilderness when he reached the western boarder of what would become Cantonia. Unable to find civilization, Schwealer continued to explore the West and Southwestern reaches of the server.

Eventually, Schwealer's traveling companion ChodiusTh3rd found his way out of the spawn jungle and came across Cantonia. He was recruited by Gears2369 and was able to lead Schwealer to the city. Upon arriving and seeing the forest up in flames, Schwealer decided he didn't like the way the city was run. The forest fire was reportedly set by the then-leader B2As.

He got into contact with KarlosGeek, then leader of Alltidvinter, and offered to sell information about Akrinou to him in return for safety and a chance to help slay the Ender Dragon on the End Rush. Pressed for time and unfimiliar with Schwealer, Karlos killed the dragon and broke the deal, leaving Schwealer feeling scorned by the two largest cities in the world. Enough was enough.

Heading south with Chodius, Schwealer made camp at the base of a mountain. He quickly fell in love with the great monolith and revered it as a powerful symbol of preservation. It was at the base of this mountain that the village of Kyusoku was born. Naming both the city and the Mountain in unison, forever binding their fates. Kyusoku was considered by all to be a colony of Akrinou, but no one from the main city ever visited before the collapse of Cantonia after the Home-Biome Schism.

Schwealer briefly lived on the northern colony on the isle of Sune, waiting for a member of Akrinou to join him. During this time, Schwealer continued to explore and expand his knowledge of the world. Just as before, no one ever arrived, and Schwealer returned to his mountain home after realizing that all had gone quiet in Cantonia. Shortly after the fall, Kyusoku became independent. Akrinou was presumed to be a failed state, unlikely to return.

After Akranou, he met FlabbyDrip84 and learned everything he knew from him. Just like FlabbyDrip84, he grew a massive dick and lived a based capitalist life.

## Story

Initially Schwealer was just a mortal man. An explorer looking for a place to belong. When he found Mt. Kyusoku, yes he fell in love with its beauty, but there was more to it. It felt as if the mountain was begging to be protected. Schwealer felt surges of confidence whenever he called to the mountain for guidence. Slowly he felt more sure that the mountain wanted what was best for him and his new city. The mountain made for a natural shield and kept its protectors safe from invasion.

By the time new ratburg joined the empire of Sunset, Schwealer was revering the mountain as a deity attributing his inspiration to the mountain itself. He began to talk about the mountain as if it were a person. As the empire grew, so did Schwealer's confidence and he began to see himself as the sun god, gifted the powers of the setting sun by his deity Mt. Kyusoku.

When the empire threatened to collapse under it's own weight, Schwealer's confidence in the mountain faltered and he holed up in his tower for two days. When he returned, he came bearing a new banner, featuring an ominous red sunset. Schwealer changed in those days and the empire changed with it. Schwealer was plagued by paranoia, fearing that the nation would collapse without a more aggressive attitude. The calm orange of the early third period Sunset was gone, replaced by the paranoid "self defensive" wars that would follow. It was no longer good enough to protect the mountain, he had to protect his new lands, people, and culture. He *needed* Sunset to remain powerful and feared to keep it safe.

Schwealer would never regain his naïve hope and trust in Sunset, but the uncanny confidence remained when addressing foreigners and making international moves. Schwealer is often seen staring up at Mt. Kyusoku as if searching for answers, and walking away with a grave look across his tired face. To be Continued...
