### Roaming Days -

Galen Mitchell spent his first few days traveling the world of Akonanda searching for a place to settle down. He eventually settled on a nice lakeside home and began the process of setting up a shack for him to live in near another home on the lake while he began planning his goal of setting up a refugee camp to take in the war weary residents of Akonanda, when war eventually struck out.

#### -Axolotl Cult Issues-

Unfortunately unknown to Galen the land he had settled on was claimed by the Theocracy of Axo, a Cult of Axolotl worshippers who had no respect for Galen's defiant stance to being absorbed. While Galen understood he was in the wrong he felt a deal could be reached that would guarantee his refugee camp would continue without Axo interference. That is until the Theocracy threatened to kick him out, unable to gather enough resources on his own to defend his shack he unwillingly complied after a week of holding out. Though not before setting up a few pitfall traps around his shack.

### Errinnian Empire -

Seeking a new place to settle he came across a newspaper written by the fledgling Errinnian Empire supporting a diplomatic effort to end the Celestian Civil War. The Empires words moved Galen and so he made his way to the Empire. Looking for a place to escape from politics after being thrust in the middle of them by the Theocracy.

#### -The Protectorate of Svati-

Galen Mitchell chose to join Svati County, a territory established by Fifth Reign (who would eventually join the Errinnian Empire) and The Pathmakers of Kajad. (Svati was supposedly created by the Fifth Reign to project more power into the South East of Akonanda.) With the joining of the Fifth Reign into the Empire, Svati was absorbed with it. Galen settled there and after a short tour was integrated into their society, although this would be one of the only times he came across the other citizens of Svati. Galen spent his time exploring Svati's expansive cave systems that spanned thousands of blocks and featured an abandoned mining hut directly underneath the town. Galen also constructed the towns community storage building and stables, using its second floor as his home.

##### --Svati Citizenship--

Citizens of Svati held special perks over other countries:

* The Svati were citizens of both Kajad, and the Errinnian Empire and could serve in both armies.
* Svati was run locally by its mayor.
* Svati was defended diplomatically by Kajad and the Errinian Empire.

##### --Mayor of Svati--

During the outbreak of the Undead Legions Svati was struck hard, many citizens had been bed-ridden and hadn't been seen in town by Galen for months, all was revealed when the Shroud Legion lead by The Corrupted Emperor Voleia took hold on mainland Errinnia. Galen was the sole member of Svati that did not follow the Corrupted Emperor. As such he proclaimed himself the Mayor of Svati and took control of the town fully. Looting his fallen comrades homes filled with wealth to arm a small army extracted from Svati's Caves.

Svati's Beach as of the end of AkonandaSvati's Underground Section of Homes intended to house RefugeesSvati's Tavern (front-left), Community Storage (rear-center), farms, and PvP arenaSvati's Research Lab to look into Skulk for curing the Undead, a project that lead to no significant leads.
#### Errinnia v FFRA War-

A year or so after Galen's arrival to the Empire it became involved in a war between First Federal Akonandan Empire and Victoriae in support of Victoriae, after repeated hostilities between the neighboring Nation of Al-Huriya, a member of the FFRA, and Victoriae.

* Galen officially was not involved in the war directly, and sat on the sidelines of the war, struggling to gather the materials to attain proper War-Gear.

The War officially ended when the FFRA fell to the Perandorian Commonwealth at the War of Hammerhold.

###### -Spy work -

Galen was consequential in the gathering of information on innerworkings and politics of the FFRA. Under the Moniker "Source Alpha" Galen infiltrated the FFRA's cities and military via a citizenship loophole caused the joining of Al-Huriya, finding multiple dissenters and feeding information into the Empire via the Erinnian Security Bureau. Following the end of the war Galen would infiltrate many of the FFRA's successors to determine if they posed a threat to Errinnia, none were found.

* Shortly before the arrival of the Undead Legions, Galen would attempt to reform the FFRA as a Puppet of the Errinnian Empire, although the plan fell through due to a lack of support and an unwillingness by the Successor States.

###### --"No Time to Mine"--

Galen would start a book recounting his adventures as a spy for the ESB titled "No Time to Mine" although it would never be finished due to the start of the Undead War and his self-imposed mayorship of Svati.

### The Undead War -

After hearing the news of the falling of the Errinnian Army at the hands of the Crimson Legion, and the following corruption of Errinnia, Galen would make a plea of rebellion to all remaining citizens against the Undead Emperor Voleia and the newly formed Shroud Legion. Forming the First cell of Resistance against the Undead threat which would last till the end of the war.

*"I recall the virtues we stood for, I recall the struggles and the things we have done! I will not be deterred from my vengeance! I remember the lessons we passed on to the sons! I am one of the Errinnian Empire, I am Galen Mitchell and I am the one who will fight. So I reject you for now and always!" - Galen Mitchell*

##### -Errinnian Restoration Army-

Empress Lillith Izentow escaped to her home in Stormhaven and was able to contact the still remaining leaders of Errinnia consisting of Kaiiak of Prismatica, Jojocal of Witherstone to form the Errinnian Restoration Army. Galen and Svati joined soon after the formation of the E.R.A. and was promoted to General for his defiance against Voleia. Galen would continue stocking his town for war with the gear he had gathered from his old neighbors, including "The Sword of the Empire," Galen would begin to use Svati as a supply base for the E.R.A. and its allies, bringing cavalry, arrows, food and other supplies to the front.

###### --Second Errinnian Empire--

The E.R.A. after many months of fighting had stabilized and claimed themselves as the successors to the Errinian Empire, the Second Empire Consisted of Prismatica, Stormhaven, Witherstone, Svati, and eventually Cathai, New Switzerland, and Ajhrakna.

##### -Everlife Alliance-

The Everlife Alliance was made up of multiple surviving nations that had survived the outbreak of the Undead Plague. The Everlife Alliance consisted of many nations, officially and unofficially, as well as any surviving citizens of fallen nations. Galen Mitchell, would join the Everlife Army integrating the remains of The Errinian Restoration Army into the Everlife Army to continue its goals of freeing Errinnia and stomping out the Undead threat. Galen Mitchell served in the Everlife Army fighting on the Front lines defending Noor-Salikh from Undead forces, a key point in the war that began the reconquest of Akonanda. Galen served in the counter-attack at Galen would also serve at the failed First Raid on Falkreath, despite outnumbering the Undead forces 2 to 1, The Everlife Forces were massacred. Falling into an ambush laid by the powerfully armed Undead forces. Galen barely survived the massacre, due in part to the speed of his mount, Barry. Galen would spend the final weeks leading up to the Final Siege of Falkreath recovering from his wounds.

##### --Final Battle of Falkreath--

At last the final battle had arrived. Galen marched along side the forces of The Everlife Army to besiege the Capital City of Falkria, Falkreath once more, after initially losing his way. Galen made his way to the front. After years of preparation he distributed what remaining supplies he had gathered and established resupply points within the walls of Falkreath. Although they were raided soon after. Galen fought viciously through the streets of Falkria, eventually having to return to the resupply point to don new armor. Once this was completed he set up on the roofs of the Falkreath homes and fired arrows upon the mass that was crowding the beacon at the center of the city. He managed to prevent the deaths of many Everlife Soldiers by killing Undead husks planting explosives and dropping them into the mob. Following the victory at Falkreath Galen, along with the remaining living, and re-animated were ascended by the God of Life before being returned to the ground. Galen would return to Svati to live out his final days in Akonanda.

From Galen Mitchell's Journal: "Galen finished writing in his journal, he did not know who would find his writings nor his home once he was gone. He had done much in his time in this strange world.
Trekked across the world to find a home only to be uprooted by cultists Joined an Empire and settled in a small paradise island Spied on the Enemies of his home feeding information so as to prevent himself from being uprooted again. He had taken the reigns of his crumbling home and kept it afloat to serve the Emperor. He had seen through the lies of the corrupted Emperor and was the first to cry in defiance against the Undead Legions. He had fought viciously to restore his home to its glory and... He had succeeded, while Errinnia and the Empire could not be saved. The souls of its people would be. As he walked past the flooded homes, his livestock, his steeds, his wealth, he gazed upon all that had been built by him, his friends long gone and his allies in battle. As he climbed the ladder to his loft he began to feel his soul grow lighter as his body grew heavier. He hadn't much time now, grabbing his cat and laying down on his bed with *The Blade of The Empire* beside him, Galen closed his eyes for the first time, in a very long time."

### Bardonia-

#### -New Dorasterrock Underground-

Found to be an old Garfist town settled by a knight of The Order of Eternal Sundays under the city of New Dorrasterrock. Galen has claimed this land and currently resides in the ruins of the town, renovating and using its tunnels and secrecy to avoid Republic and Imperial forces.

##### --The Crypt--

Determined to not be of Garfist Origin by a Garfist Cardinal. Reasons for its construction are unknown.

###### ---The Defacing of the Crypt---

Due to some administrative intervention involving the banning of Fynd1, some terrain was reset and damaged the crypt.

##### --Cookie stall--

Galen owned a cookie stall in New Dorrasterrock for about an (rp) year before being asked to remove to make room for construction. It was not successful. A new cookie stand was established in Dorasterrock, just in time for Christmas, as of this writing, it still has not made a sale.

#### -Yimmu-Audal v Charm War-

The War between Y-A and Charm was swift and sad. Yimmu Audal fell very quickly after the fall of Rhodia, and shattered.

#### -The Final Civil War-

    At the beginning of the Final Civil war between The Bardonian Soldiers Republic lead by Fynd and The Empire of Bardonia lead by Capna, Galen was unsure of his allegiance, as he had only been a part of the Bardonian Republic for about a month. Initially opposed to the thought of betraying the Republic. He attempted to spy on the Empire, though as the days went on he noticed a major difference in the lives of the Empire and the Republic. Despite his lingering misgivings on the causes of the war, Galen joined the Empire.

##### --Elections--

Galen Mitchell formed the Bardonian Unionist Party at first as an attempt to pull the power of the Empire towards himself, this attempt to destabilize the young Empire failed. Throughout his campaign during talks with the other competitors we learned of the past of Bardonia's war with the Hands, Ryzan and the meddling of the United Crowns of Syltor in Bardonian affairs.

The Bardonian Unionist Party initially ran on the core belief that Bardonia was ruled by two seperate but equally evil leaders and needed to dissolve both and create a new unified state. This ideology was quickly dropped in favor of a more Pro-Empire stance with the focus of supporting allies, encouraging infrastructure developments, and equality between the many backgrounds of Bardonian Citizens. The party is still active as of this writing and Galen is again running for senate alongside fellow Unionist Sterbent.

##### --Questing--

Galen, along with Senator Barmy, explored the underground halls of Bardonia. Ancient passageways and old statues of Bardonian heroes long gone were discovered. A compass linked to the death site of Aesceticus was discovered and after a long and arduous journey the Grave of Aesceticus was found unmarked on the shores of Old Lumaire. The Grave site was likely destroyed after Old Lumaire was conquered and reconstructed by Lorent.

##### --The Archive--

Following the discovery of the Ancient Halls, Galen installed a secret entrance in the Halls and began to construct a meeting hall and Archive, to hold the treasures and artifacts of Bardonia's past, far away from enemy hands. Artifacts new and old would be added to the collection. Consisting of The New Corry Raid Banner, Aesceticus's Grave, Akira's Shield, Images of Bardonian Citizens, The Skulls of the Two Kings of Lobopolis, An Enchanted Golden Apple from Akonanda, The Banner of the Errinian Empire, and many more, as well as a small collection of notes, journals, and poems Galen had acquired.
