Cqdic

## Cadon I Homius

### Born at the Base of a Great River

As the sun rose, the sound of pain and struggle shook the wilderness of Wolfswood. A new child, emerging into the world, who would one day build grand cities and fight devastating wars. The Woman who birthed him, a woman whom the child would never know or love, named him Cadon. The Wolfswoodi tribe were untouched by other nations or peoples. A peaceful people. One day though, a great storm shook the River of Tears, throwing great waves over the shore and wrecking the house of Cadon's family. As they struggled to stand, they found that the crib that Cadon was sleeping in was knocked over, and Cadon was gone. The Crib was broken, the part of it that held the child must have followed him. Cadon's mother cried out, and died on the spot out of grief for her newborn. Cadon's father disappeared.

### Swept Away

Cadon was rocking back and forth on the ferocious waves of the River of Tears, until he met the mouth of the river which opened up into the ocean. A gentle breeze blew him west, and by some miracle his Crib acted as a raft. The overnight food his mother always packed in order to keep the child strong was packed with the crib. Cadon was washed out from sea to sea, eventually meeting what seemed to be an endless ocean. After days of floating, he hit an some sort of land. This land he would come to find, was a harsh one packed with war and ferocity. He landed in Bardonia.

### Weshire

When Cadon landed, instead of being recruited by the Bardonians, he was recruited by a cruel and controversial leader of a nation that at that point was squatting. Their plan was to invade Carvay, and Cqdic was made the first Knight of Weshire. He took great pride in his newfound titles, and put many hours into making Weshire rich with resources. At this point, he was still a child, growing to the age of 5. But soon he realized how dangerous his ways were when multiple members decided to revolt against his King and take items from Weshire. He then fled the country and made his way on a great journey across many countries in Rathnir. Along his journey, he grew to the age of around 16-18. One day, he hit the edge of the eastern- most nation at that point. He had hit the ocean.

### Eldham

His crib in hand, Cadon I entered his boat and looked upon the beautiful ocean waters. He felt a sense of need where he was going. He felt that this was meant for him. He was returning to the world of Eldham. When he entered Eldham and landed in the Northeast sector of Eldham, he found nothing but warring nations, conflict, and anger. It was just like Bardonia. But it didn't seem right. He felt angered about the disunity and hatred for each other that was so common everywhere he looked. He moved on, and traveling down southwest, he met friends along the way, including mrgoodasian and ur\_baked. Cadon adopted the name Cadon I Homius, and became the leader of the Homie House. They traveled together into the land of Ravenguard, a great empire that had been the most powerful in the world. As they hit the east coast of Ravenguard, they found a land of desert and emptiness. But little did they know, they were being tracked and followed.

### Avaricia

As they were passing through the desert, Cadon I felt that they were being watched. He felt the presence of staring eyes, greater in strength then himself. He turned around and saw the great warrior Yoru. Yoru ran up behind them and said, "Hello". Cadon and mrgoodasian turned around incredibly startled, as they were looking at a warrior geared with full netherite and a trident. He said, "I mean no harm, do you guys have a city to join?" Cadon, mrgoodasian, and ur\_baked decided that Avaricia was a beautiful town and that this was the place that they needed to join. Soon, they became fully established in the town. Building a great house, they named it the official Homie House, which still stands today, though uninhabited. At this point, Cadon I had reached the age of around 39. He felt his muscles slowing down, his brain beginning to relax. At this point he ran for the council of Avaricia, and actually ended up winning and becoming the minister of diplomacy of the town. Cadon I began to feel pain in his lungs, and whenever he would breath he felt horrible pain. Earlier that year, he had conceived a child with a woman lost to history. On the Fall of 99 TE, Cadon I Homius passed away in his house in Avaricia. His wife gave birth later that year, and the child was cared for by his friends in the Homie House.

## Cadon II Kraekion

### Fleeing Avaricia

As the newborn was taken care of, he held many traits given to him by his caretakers. ur\_baked and mrgoodasian taught him the ways of the warrior, and began to give him warmongering influence. A new rebellion was about to strike in Ravengaurd, and they would be heavily involved in it. Cadon II, mrgoodasian, and ur\_baked all fled from their home in Ravengaurd to a small hideout room in AWE. They kept all their war supplies and materials in a closet in a town called strulungar. At this time Cadon II was around the age of 10. This was when an incident happened where trapped phantoms owned by the mayor of the town, Hobbs, were killed by ur\_baked in an act of confusion. ur\_baked was banished from the town, scattering the group and causing the group to separate for a short time. mrgoodasian went to Yaszuma, ur\_baked went to a newly expanded nation of The Pale, and Cadon II stayed in AWE for a short amount of time. After being conflicted about where to go, he decided at the age of around 13 to pack up his stuff, and move to The Pale to become a builder for ur\_baked.

### Returning to his Ancestral Home

As he stepped on to the soil of Wolfswood, he had visions of previous sights of his father. He saw a mother and father being knocked to the ground as he was thrown out into the ocean. This was his home. He felt instant belonging, knowing that he would forever stay in this place and fight for it, no matter what. At the age of around 16 he watched The Pale lose The First Sand War, a war they should've never been in. He had been helping build the great town of Perria, which he would live in for a while.

### The Second Sand War

As relations with the Merkonians to the north deteriorated, Cadon Kraekion would seek to aid the Pale in their war against the invaders. This was when he moved to Junisport, and began his main production of EXP and Armor Sets. He would go about selling set pieces, tools, and experience to The Pale for low amounts of pay, and try his best to aid the Pale in the war effort.

#### The Battle of Perria

The Battle of Perria would commence, being Cadon's greatest challenge of his lifetime. His life would be cut short that day, as he was knocked off of the great walls of Perria. His short life had flashed before his eyes, and in that time he witnessed the pushback of the Merkonian forces, and had visions of the future of someone who would bear his great namesake. As he plunged into the trenches, covered in barbed berry bushes, he heard the name, Cadon "The Reuniter" Ironback.

## King Cadon, The Reuniter

### The Marriage

As the Second Sand War came into a close, King Wulfgar Ironback began to look towards the future, needing an heir for his throne. He looked throughout the Pale for somebody good hearted, somebody who would care for his son and be able to lead his country while he was gone. He eventually found came to conclusion, that he should marry Viola Lighbringer, a fair woman who had lead the development of the Grunwald region, and who would take care of her country well. They had a grand wedding outside of Ironback Keep. Soon after, Viola would bear her first child. They would name him after Cadon Kraekion, a fairly unknown but valued man who had helped build the great bastion of Perria. He beared a striking resemblence to his mother, but little did they know, he also inherited the piercing determination and fighting prowess of his father. Wulfgar Ironback looked at his son, proud of what he had done, saying, "Welcome to the fold, little Cadon Ironback, you will lead the greatest nation in Eldham."

### Cadon's Early Years

As Cadon headed into his years of youth, his country, and his people began to decline. He traveled around the country with his father, surveying over the people who were supposed to be his. He was visiting the Cromore Peninsula, a recently acquired, and heavily destroyed part of The Pale. His father told him war stories, of his deceased Namesake. Cadon was about 5 at the time. "Your mother is up the path, surveying Oblitus". As he finished his sentence, a great cry came from the distance. "Wulfgar!" Viola cried. He went off running, and the guard accompanying them followed. Cadon watched, frozen, as a skirmished commenced between Pale minutemen defenders and Merkonian Tresspassers. In the end, the Merkonians had lost, with Viola retaining minor injures from the ambush. With this, he witnessed his fathers anger and hate towards the Merkonian people, he would adopt this same hate, and began to train to fight against the invaders. He would come to learn that despite his father telling him the people had been defeated in their last invasion, they would come to plague the Pale and ultimately contribute to the fall of The Pale.

### The Third Sand War

Looking bad for the Pale in the beginning, the Third Sand War looked to be one of The Pale's greatest challenges in all of it's history. Millions of dollars were made in preparation for the fated battle of Little Greywatch. Cadon helped in the labor forces, moving materials out of Little Greywatch, helping demolish buildings, and helping refugees move out of Little Greywatch, to preserve the population and riches in Little Greywatch. He stood atop the walls, and was met by ZakMak, who had come to visit in the construction of the defense of Little Greywatch. As the day of the battle rapidly approached, news began to reveal itself, showing that the, "Merkonian Liberation Army" was severely overestimated, and The Pale was set to completely win the first battle. A letter was sent to the new Queen, Viola Lightbringer, who revealed the information to her council, and to her son. Some were happy at first, and some were shocked. Merkonis had decided to completely abandon the invasion of The Pale, but vowed to continue the attack at a later date. The Council of The Pale, confused, bewildered, tired, urgently met late that night. They discussed reversing the offensive, attacking the Merkonian mainland, and pressing their reversed momentum. However, it was decided that it significantly risky to do this because of the potential Merkonian defensive alliances. This would prove to be Cadon's greatest regret. Why couldn't he realize, though he was young, the potential of a Palean attack? He could've caught the Merkonians with their pants down, could've annihilated them while they were weak. But this would mark the end of the third sand war.

### Rampant Burn Out

Across the nation, and with himself, Cadon felt a sense of emptiness, a deep dark hole which could not be filled in his heart. The queen, the council, everybody seemed sad. The population was clearly in decline. Rampant achoholism, abandonment, and depression wrung out across the country. This was felt within the council, and talks began of starting something new. Cadon agreed with this, around the age of 15 at the time. A new plan emerged, to put the population of The Pale on boats, and sail away to a foreign land, to escape to worries and sorrows of the world which had treated them so poorly. Cadon endorsed the plan, but, something was wrong. He couldn't let the Merkonians win, he wouldn't. He refused. Cadon mentioned this to his mother, who looked at him tearful. "You wouldn't leave your people, would you?". Cadon had his mind set. He ran off of the boats which were going to take them, and dug through his fathers old stuff. What he found shocked him. He found his fathers armor, sword, and shield. On top of it was a note.

"Cadon, my son. I am already on a boat heading off into the grand sunset with out people. I no longer lead them. I no longer need to. Our Queen has it covered. You have grown so well, so strong. You have experienced sadness of our people, crisis which may even surpass some that I have faced during my rule. The Pale now falls, it's people no longer inspired to lift a finger against this world so cruel. I can't even lift a finger to it either. But you can. I know you can. You will, my son. You will grow a new people, though you may not be able to immediately, you will. Continue to stand up to the unfairness of this world. Continue to fight the evils which plague everywhere we lived. Stick to our allies, they will help you. Travel to Anglunia, live in Rezuraia. They will be your greatest friends. I leave now, and we will probably never see eachother again. But I trust you will make the right decisions, and that you will do great things." Signed with love, Your Father, Wulfgar Ironback.

### The Move to Anglunia

The lands of the Pale soon after fell, Cadon incredibly saddened by the exile of him and his people. He did end up moving to Rezuraia, the depression which plagued him after the Third Sand War following close. The lands of The Pale would be split up, either by Merkonians coming to occupy lands which they had stolen, or people of the Pale who remained, who wished to gain their own states. Other than that, the Kingdom of Dawn, which had come to replace the Pale, failed to do this, and lands would be stolen from them by the Velerian Empire. But the crownlands of Karthold, would find it's way into the right hands, being gifted from dawn to the Kingdom of Anglunia. Cadon was very interested in this. How did his father know? It seemed he had prophesied that Anglunia would end up leading the Palean people. Cadon had made friendships with numerous Anglunians, such as JohnnyDJackson, Hatchet\_Doctor, and Blitz, all important members of the leading class of Anglunia at the time.

### Cadon Given Leadership

Around the age of 20, Cadon would be approached by Hatchet\_Doctor, who offered him the leadership role over the new Anglunian province of Karthold. He joked, saying, "Maybe someday we could reform The Pale!" Cadon laughed, but the thought was suddenly plugged into his mind. The words of his father, written in the note, ringing in his mind. "I must grow a new people, and a new community."
