Earl Hrathr Schneider the First (ImaYeti )

**Beginnings**

Hrathr Scneider was born on Lunum, nicknamed the *invisible world* or *cloaked world* due to its secrecy and indiscreetness in the interdimensional rift. Home to the harshest taigas and tundras; only a minority of inhabitants, namely the Yetist race, were able to survive colonization from Rathnir. Of these settlers, a wealthy house emerged above all, this house was called The House of Affolter-Balow. The house’s duke named Ichran Affolter-Balow was crowned emperor of the newly established “United Provinces of Avar-Lunum” (UPAL) by a Soleannen religious group known as *“The Dark Crows”*. However, unrest among the citizens of UPAL caused the delicate monarch to become on the brink of collapse. To avoid loss of power, the emperor appointed seven earls to govern certain districts across the nation. However, this only caused further unrest as the Earls began to become more “power-hungry” leaving the middle and lower classes to suffer.

To no surprise, a conflict between a rebellion militia and the Royal Army brewed into war. Many Yetists died in the crossfire but no sides were majorly advancing, causing a devastating stale-mate. In the battle of Klensch, three commissioned “Crows” performed the puppeteer ritual on a Stone Mammoth which decimated the village and also destroyed the ancient gem of Olen, responsible for maintaining control of the interdimensional rift. Although, Hrathr Schneider, a UPAL diplomat, was in Eldham whilst this happened, causing him to be trapped in Eldham until the rift was stable enough to allow Yetist travel, however by this time Lunum had already vanished. Without food or other resources needed to survive, Hrathr struggled to live through the harsh and uncomfortable conditions of the deserts of Eldham, thus forcing him to travel to a familiar environment. On his journey, he encountered AntiVirus9055, who welcomed him into his city named “Myrkira”, the soon to be capital of the great Colonial Simulami Empire. AntiVirus9055 offered Hrathr residence at Myrkira which he gladly accepted, becoming an official member of the Simulami Empire.

**Adventures**

Due to a Yetist’s extreme bloodlust, all Yetists must take a soul otherwise their soul shall be taken. This happens during a lunar eclipse, so when that time came Hrathr journeyed down to Uraka to plead for the consent to kill someone, in the end no-one accepted so Hrathr Schneider turned into a ghost temporarily until Visfrietje offered his soul in exchange for my revival, an act of selflessness.

After this, TankFish and his followers invaded the rather peaceful land of Eldham. In retaliation many members of the Simulami Empire and other nations formed the Fourth Coalition against the invaders. Hrathr took a key role in both the first and second battles of Ridgebreaker, massacring TankFish and his followers on command. However, because of Solaris’ mercy of all, he was furious that Schneider followed orders and temporarily blinded him for many years to teach a lesson. When his punishment was over, Hrathr took up the life of a peaceful builder after his father, AntiVirus9055 (who adopted Hrathr). He eventually began plans to build the town of “Earlreach”, named after his recent Earlship of Myrkira.

**Revenge**

However, not all good things stay good. When leading a promising citizen to Earlreach, Tylics unmercilessly killed both Hrathr and his accomplice, stealing all their items. Whilst Schneider begged for the items back, Tylics didn’t budge. This moment fueled Hrathr Schneider's desire for revenge, which he is still scheming today.

*But instead stand up strong even when inferior.*
