Lvancais Rmedtai Aivanreiai / Lukas Golden Wheel

# Lvancais Rmedtai Aivanreiai

##### Origin:

Lvancais Rmedtai Aivanreiai born as Lukas Golden Wheel in Valeria on the 26th of August as an ethnically Norzani Human, son to the wealthy master architect and stonemason Sigfrid Golden Wheel who he worked as an apprentice for until also mastering architecture and stonemasonry at age 17. Lvancais was born into a Norzani branch of the *Gwyddonese* house of Golden Wheel. His mother was named Julia who married into the house of Golden Wheel.

##### Architect:

After mastering the art of architecture and stonemasonry he went on to fulfil contracts from all across Avalor. Mostly building castles or defensive walls until the age of 37.

##### Vision:

One time when he was venturing out west to complete a contract he was thirsty but the local river was too steep down he found some steps leading down into the river, surrounding the steps were a big complex of temple-like buildings. When he drank the water he trembled and fell asleep, in his sleep he got a vision of a horse-like creature that had a pair of horns that resembled towers with battlements, a very long tail that sweeped around the horse bright blue skin glowing brightly. Next to him stood an mysterious arrow facing upwards. Lvancais documented this and brought it to a town downriver called Bvanaigon. He entered its gate and saw banners with golden arrows pointing upwards, this reminded him of the ones he had seen in his vision. He asked a wise man there named Dumuda what this vision meant. Dumuda claimed it to be a vision of his future, the tail representing long life, the blue skin representing peaceful life, the horns representing that he would be the head of a settlement and the arrow next to him, Dumuda immediatly recognised it and didn’t need to think. It was the arrow of the order. Dumuda was seemingly happy hearing this and showed him their temple and explained to him its theology. This captivated Lvancais so he stayed at the town to reflect but unfortunatly his reflections were cut short by an invasion, the city was burned down, only leaving ruins left that can still be viewed today. Dumuda told Lvancais to go to Polis and meet Pocket as his last words to him.

##### Convertion:

Lvancais went to the patriarch of Polis and there he got teached the language of the Order, High Ordelic and transliterated his first name and translated his last. There the patriarch told him to go back to the Bvanaigon and the river to safeguard them from infidels and to let anyone who wishes to drink from the river do so.

##### Founding:

Lvancais went back to Bvanaigon and saw that everybody had been slaughtered, he went to the temple and recovered Dumuda's body. Then he went to the library were most of the books were burned except a few that he brought home, later Lvancais founded the city by the river and named it Tiemplvanm Sieptientrgonmednailgons but the common name for it is Tiemsiep meaning North Temple in High Ordelic north of Bvanaigon by a pretty straight part of the river. People slowly trickled in and eventually he had 809 citizens by the age of 43, a notable person that joined him was Simo who would become prior of the newly contructed temple.

##### Patriarch:

Lvancais became the patriarch of Polis after the resignation of patriarch Pocket I. He was chosen for his missionary experience, temple building and faithfulness. His patriarchal name would become Lvancais I of Tiemsiep. He would continue to convert, build and worship. He created the Lvancaisian law, a strict law code that ordelic nations or towns could adopt to strengthen the faith in his domains. He also promoted literature and polisian culture to be practised along with surveying his domains and documented the presence of ordelics there. Later in his reign he would send a letter to the ordelic king of Seligard, Pigeon to adopt the Lvancaisian law with the intent to end the faith of breadism. In their letter exchanges Pigeon would express his tolerance to breadians and would go on to deny the Lvancaisian law. Therefore he called a holy war against the kingdom of Seligard. He would go on to win the war and establish The holy kingdom of Trelendor with Viserys Lovsson II as its king but Lvancais couldn't participate due to his lack of military training and due to the other duties he had as patriarch. His last notable action was the establishment of a standardised architectural design for ordelic temples that would accommodate all its necessities called ordelic architecture. The first temple to use the design was the monastery of Tetrekarya. Due to his beneficial rule he would be known by his subordinates as "The great" and "The zealot".

##### Death:

Lvancais would die in his quarters of Tiemsiep castle at the age of 63 of fever. There he wrote his will that said: "My work here is done. Orieul.I stands before me, observing me. Not my fragile body but my heart and soul. I shall grant the patriarchy to Viserys Lovsson II, who chose to be known as Liemed I as his patriarchal name, meaning lion in the holy tongue. Hinting at his glorious dynasty who I'm sure is favoured by Order due to their splendid faith and courage in the war of Seligard! Bless them all! I know he will guide the followers further into Order, be loving and endearing to his people and have faith in Order and believe in the holy pillars. He shall become the most powerful man there is! The rest of my belongings and holdings shall go to my son, Lvancais II Rmedtai Aivanreiai. I believe he shall bring greatness to his holdings and people as Bvanaigon once did one and half centuries ago to our beautiful valley." His last words were: "T-take it, please. I am happy that you are here my fellows. May Order grant prosperity to all of you!" as he handed the will to a courtier near him.
