Professor Prevost

Professor Prevost was a prominent Orwaldian scholar from Dimension T-2022 who disappeared into the End Dimension, never to be seen again. He was crucial to the creation of the Device.

## Biography

Professor Prevost was born in the Principality of Inner Peria when it was still a colony of the Empire of the Setting Moon. As a result of his aristocratic background, Prevost was allowed to enjoy higher education in the most prestigious university of the Empire. There, he studied archaeology and became interested in the possibility of an ancient empire spanning the continent of Orwald. When the nations of Orwald declared their independence during the Great Kojiman War, Professor Prevost was an early voice for the creation of the Congress of Nations.

In 1850, Professor Prevost hosted a convention of archaeologists in Peria. They concluded that the countries of Orwald were not doing enough to preserve their past. Professor Prevost argued that there was a large network of ancient dungeons spanning the continent. According to him, this large network proved the existence of a large continent-spanning empire predating even the Lamiran Empire. Having visited most of these dungeons, he discovered they all had a room containing a defunct portal. Professor Prevost wanted to conduct experiments in order to activate one of these portals. To do this, he requested the aid of all countries on Orwald. The professor calculated he needed 2000 Amethyst Shards for his experiments. The international community, the Kingdom of Corellia and the Grenivik Chiefdom in particular, shot into action and donated Amethyst Shards to the Professor. After transporting the Amethyst shards to the dungeon located in the Principality of Inner Peria, Professor Prevost set up his machinery around the portal. Condensing the amethyst into high density crystals, the professor inserted them into the portal. A bright flash briefly lit up the dark portal room before activating the portal. However, the professor was nowhere to be seen.

His assistant sent a request to the countries of Orwald to organize a rescue mission to the other side of the portal. Several nations responded, including the Principality of Inner Peria, the Kingdom of Duyn and the Kingdom of Corellia, providing troops for the rescue party. After entering the portal, the rescue party found themselves in the End, a dark dimension seemingly on the edge of existence. There, they found a being only known through legend; a dragon. The Ender Dragon attacked the rescue party, but they valiantly defeated it through strength and cooperation. After its death, the dragon opened up a portal back to the Overworld, but it also spawned an egg. The egg was taken to the Congress of Nations, where its fate would be decided. However, there was no sign of professor Prevost, but now that there was a stable two-way connection between the End and the Overworld, the countries of Orwald were free to explore it and go looking for Prevost of their own accord.

After two years without a sign from Professor Prevost, the Kingdom of Corellia put their best scientists on the case. In 1852, one of their scientists theorized that Prevost’s whereabouts could be determined by putting large mechanical listening devices above three End portals. By comparing the data from the three different portals, the professor’s position would finally be able to be triangulated. This eventually led to the creation of the Device. Unfortunately, Professor Prevost's location was never recovered and the sabotage of the Device by Kojiman spies eventually led to the Orwald Displacement Event.
