Mesomedes

**Mesomedes** is a Goman-Nuorian Philosopher, Goman Revivalist, Sonarsa and a Chronicler. His works have been proven useful in detailing the Goman Sea cultures during pre-schism era and the schism itself. Most notable of his works is his second-handed involvement in the events of Quran, the holy book of Islam.

## History

### Childhood (561-577)

Mesomedes was born to a rich, Gomano-Nuorian family living in Chacya. He had a brother who was 2 years older than him. In 568 when he was 7, Goman Empire collapsed and he, alongside his family became citizens of Chacya. In 577 his father, not wanting to split the family's wealth among two of his sons sent the youngest one (Mesomedes) to become a Sonarsa

### Early Adulthood (577-598)

Mesomedes spent majority of the time writing texts, reading about the Goman Empire and helping out people in need. In 595 he joined an Empire restorationist group inside Sonarsan circles, in late 597 the group was found and few months later Mesomedes was exiled from Chacya.

### Osmea (598-601)

Mesomedes found his new home in Osmea, there he returned to being a Sonarsa, little is known about his stay here apart from 1 surviving text which details things Mesomedes found weird about the city and it's people and the celebrations of the year 600. Around that time it's suspected that Mesomedes became such a infamous zealot he is known to be today.

### Corda (601-609)

In 601 Mesomedes decided to move to Corda, according to him Du has spoken and made him move here. He continiued being a Sonarsa and wrote about Corodenan traditions. In 608 he was tasked by Lavendaroma I with writing a chronicle about Corda's history, while initially happy with the job and quickly writing the chronicle, 5 months later in March of 609 he had a argument with Lavendaroma over faith-releated things and Mesomedes was forced to move out from Corda.

### Meowscania (609)

Mesomedes decided to move to Meowscania altrough 3 months later he left due to religious differences, Meowscania is Cattist which didn't sit well with Mesomedes. Apart from that little is known about his stay here, even less than Osmea stay due to Mesomedes either refusing to write about Meowscania or making notes about them exaggerated to the point where even most of Capanilleans would be disgusted.

### Vivajanger (609-611)

Mesomedes then settled in Vivajanger, around that time he started writing more chronicles which allowed more of them to survive, he mentions that the city is relatively rich and still feels like a capital of an enormous empire. He also said that some older citizens of Vivajanger feel nostalgia towards the empire and like him, want it back.

### Nuoria (611-614)

Mesomedes however got another sign from Du, and because of this he decided to move from Vivajanger to Ancien City, another rich post-goman city. While initially planning to go through Chacya plan was averted after learning of a Sonarsa trip to Ancien, he took the trip however it took 3 years, little is known about his time here apart from that he never slept in any city here, eventually in 613 he reached Ancien Republic and in 614 permamently settled in it's capital.

### Ancien City (614-630)

Mesomedes quickly integrated into the city and began writing even more chronicles, stating a lot about the city's culture, describing it as a good candidate to replace Vivajanger. In early 620s he began noticing religious conflicts in Ancien which greatly scared him, he never involved in these conflicts because he didn't know which side to take. Most of his chronicles were written during this period. In 628 he got a really bad toe infection which lead to his big toe being amputated.

In 629 Mesomedes decided to go north and visit the local tribes here in hopes of converting them, he traveled with few freed Baconian prisoners who have converted to Capanillea and learned to how to speak Nuorian, during his visit he heard of Mohammad's rising influence over the region.

### Death

When he returned home the infection returned to the area where the toe was however the infection was way worse and he died in 630 few weeks before his 69th birthday.

## Personality

Mesomedes was a charitable zealot who was also good at diplomacy, however he wasn't good enough to get noticed by anyone.

### Beliefs

As mentioned above Mesomedes believed in restoring the Goman Empire, and in Capaniliea never seemingly questioning it until the 627 Schism where he was unable to pick a side, this was the fault of his extreme zealousy.

#### Restored Goman Empire's goverment

In Mesomedes's mind the goverment of the Goman Empire should place the God above the monarch and the monarch/senate power ratio should have followed the numbers from 460s, it's also worth noting he considered Ancien City as a possible capital of the new empire, stating that the city was slightly inferior to Vivajanger and could serve as a capital in cases where Vivajanger is unavilable as a capital.

He also stated that the empire should keep positive relations with other countries to evade an external threat and that any pretenders to the throne should be expelled from the upper-class, any new religious/cultural movement should also be squashed. Of course all of this has a big asterisk because Du has a final say according to the same Mesomedes
