## Origin

Norvosi... Tinith... Razail... White... These words swam through the inky dark abyss of his mind. Then, an image of a mask. A mask that was split in half by two separate shades of grey. A quarter of the mask was missing, leaving behind a jagged edge. Then, another piece fractured and a way of sounds and images rushed past him. A memory of darkness and the sounds of screaming, fighting, and a person calling out to him to stay alive. Then a smoky chuckle as a history book fell to the floor. And as suddenly as these things appeared, they vanished.

Suddenly he awoke. In the middle of a forest he lay. A half of a mask on his face and a scar running across his exposed eye. Who was he? He had to have a name, right? Something that sounds familiar to him. That's what his name had to be. Norvosi. A word that was familiar. And then White. Something that felt even more familiar. Norvosi White. That was his name.

Norvosi stood up in a flash and began to walk in a particular direction, pulled by an urge. He had no clue where this urge would take him. He just knew had to get to this unknown destination. This would be his great wandering.

## Life in Praskova

Weeks had passed before Norvosi's great wandering came to a halt. In the bleak winter time, He found his way to the doorsteps of Heran, the capital city of the Unitary State of Praskova. There he was warmly welcomed by the nation's leader, Sirus Markov. He brought **Norvosi** to the city of Kolyferma. There he was given supplies to construct his own home and begin his life in Kolyferma, a desert city. A desert city. Huh, he thought. This feels familiar. Like a story that had been played out before but somewhere else. But Norvosi ignored this thought and settled down.

### Life in Tinith

#### The Founding of Tinith

Months passed. And soon, winter became summer. Sirus would contact **Norvosi** with some plans in mind. He wished to expand their borders and offered **Norvosi** the once in a lifetime opportunity to start a new settlement. A voice in his head urged him to accept the deal. A possible name rattled around in his head even though he didn't know why. Tinith. The voice was so overwhelming that, before he knew it, **Norvosi** had accepted Sirus' deal. Sirus, glad to have him accept the deal, promptly showed **Norvosi** the land where he wanted him to build and told **Norvosi** to claim as much land as he possibly could for the sake of Praskova.

**Norvosi** would start construction in the middle of that summer. As he wandered looking for a place to start, he stumbled upon a supposedly abandoned road. Using this as a sign, **Norvosi** would set to work, erecting the first house in a matter of only a few days. And so, the foundations of this new town were laid and Tinith was born. However, things can never stay peaceful for too long. Almost as if the universe demands it.

#### Praskova-Durucari River Crisis

A few weeks later after the first three houses were erected and the food sources of Tinith were established, a few men came wandering up the grey road. The leader, Snowman, approached **Norvosi**. He asked a few friendly questions before promptly coming to the point of this unexpected visit. As it turned out, Snowman was the leader of a neighboring nation called Durucari. He claimed to have built the road that the city was founded on and claimed that this meant that the area belonged to the Durucari nation. Confused, **Norvosi** calmly explained that he had been sent by the leader of Praskova to start a new settlement. Snowman laughed. He told **Norvosi** that he had been set up by his leader because Sirus knew this land belonged to him. **Norvosi** quickly dismissed this "revelation". As he would later recall, something about that situation was eerily familiar. **Norvosi** dismissed them. Once they were on their way, **Norvosi** quickly wrote a letter to Sirus, recounting all that had transpired. Sirus wrote back, not surprised by the sudden claims. He explained that Durucari has always had it out for Praskova, even since its founding. Sirus told **Norvosi** not to worry about it and that all would be taken care of.

A few day later, Sirus would reach out to **Norvosi** via letter. He asked if **Norvosi** would be willing to move the town as he was trying to get every Praskovian's opinion on the matter. **Norvosi** replied that if needed so to avoid war, he would be willing to move the city block by block. But if moving the city could be avoided, he would prefer that. Sirus thanked him and told him a resolution would come soon. **Norvosi**, curious would go on to travel to the Durucari capital. And what he saw confused and angered him. A mud fort with nothing inside but a couple of pillow tents. Spitefully, Norvosi sent a letter to the leader of the Durucari to negotiate personally. However, these proved to be in vain as Snowman gave one option that he would accept: Tinith was to join Durucari or be taken down. **Norvosi** angrily declined this offer. Intead, Norvosi offered a few more solutions but was outright ignored. In a fit of rage he would call the Durucari "mud men" and "nothing more than children wishing to play as adults".

More days passed before anything else happened. Norvosi, as the first Otec and leader of Tinith, was invited to attend a meeting regarding the border crisis. He accepted this invitation and attended the meeting. During this meeting Snowman would spit and walk all over the Praskovian name. Through gritted teeth, Norvosi would remark to Sirus that Snowman was nothing more than a prissy mud man. After two hours of debate, Snowman slandering the name of Praskova, and negotiating, a decision was made. New borders were agreed upon and Tinith remained in the same spot. This event that had begun long before Tinith's founding was dubbed the Praskova-Durucari River Crisis.

Unfortunately, due to the newly agreed upon terms and borders, the Markov Manor was to be given up in the process. This was the home to a slave of Sirus, Nayak Npazruutj. From this altercation, Nayak was given a new plot of land to build a new manor nearby Tinith. And because of the closeness to the town, Nayak approached Norvosi and suggested that the manor should be a part of Tinith. Liking the idea Norvosi would accept this proposal had the site of the new Npazruutj Manor be located in Tinith. And that day, Nayak and Norvosi became friends. A few days after the end of the Praskova-Durucari River Crisis, Nayak would help with some of the construction in Tinith. To repay these acts of kindness, Norvosi would also help Nayak with the construction of the Npazruutj Manor.
