## Biography

### Childhood

Dako was born into a nomadic people group of dwarves traveling around Rathnir. He was raised by his parents in the environment that taught him multiple survival skills when he was just a child. When looking back to those years of his childhood, Dako considers them the best years of his life. He was thriving in the nomadic style of life, and that made him appreciate simple things and relaxing activities.

### Early Adulthood

After his 40th birthday Dako Arozvlinnith started to wonder, is that what life is, or is there something more to it. Sure, he enjoyed the current situation he was in, but the desire to explore and discover new ways of existence. That resulted in him saying good bye to his family and friends and he started making his way into a civilized society. One of the members of the nomad group once recalled a place called "Mithra" and that this place was a peaceful and a calm one. That was the place that Dako was heading.

### Adulthood

#### Arrival to Mithra

Once he made it to Mithra he settled in a small town called Nelond at the time. At first he hated being in one place, not having the freedom of movement, but he quickly adapted to a settled life and took interest in fishing. Once he made a trip to a local library and discovered the art of blacksmithing. Having dwarven blood in his veins he quickly learned the trade and became the local blacksmith. He build a forge in his basement which he calls the *Opal Forge*.

#### Wars of Helmia

During the The Mithran-Dandelion War and the Helmian-Dominate war he decided to stay out of out of trouble by locking himself in his house, tho he was a major supplier of armor in the latter. His reasoning being that he never had a chance to try out his armor in actual combat. After the dust settled he found himself a citizen of The High Kingdom of Daelyria.

#### Acquisition of Markaialon and Lordship status

One day when Dako was taking a stroll thru Halond he decided to take a detour to the at the time abandoned city of Markaialon. He was taken aback by the beauty of this place and with his new found wealth bought the lands of the ruins eventually taking legal control of the town. He begun the repopulation and reconstruction of the city. For his efforts he was granted the title of a lord and gave birth to a newest house in Daelyria House Arozvlinnith.

#### Religion

For most of his life Dako was a non-religious person, believing that gods who don't actively engage in the mortal world should not be revered for their past actions. He always followed the philosophy of appreciating simple things in life. That's why in the most recent times he aligns himself with Church of the Two Lôdiem, as he agrees with the teachings of Koala Apisamus on said aspects. It must be understood that Dako is not a zealous believer and only follows certain aspects of the religion and often doesn't agree with them entirely.

### The present

In recent times as a way of softening his image to the new government (He mainly supplied the weapons to the Helmian side) he partook in the Illeryan wall cleanup and contributed a massive amount of effort into the project. Nowadays, Dako can be spotted fishing on the Halond's peers or in the mines where he gathers resources for his forge. He hopes that there will be no need in the future to use his crafts and that peace bestows in all of Rathnir.
