## History

### Early life

Born to the prestigious Roqirelle Family, Antaris was trained in both the blade and Psionics from an early age. While he and his sister Myrelli lost their one of their mothers, Niobe, early in life, both became close with their stepfather Eridanis Gyéndra when their surviving mother Taline remarried. While Taline was the accomplished wielder of [Tahuenata, the Verdant Blade], which Antaris was expected to eventually earn, it was Eridanis's instruction which helped Antaris to truly excel, and eventually be deemed worthy of the storied evensword.

He spent much of his young adulthood as an errant warrior traveling across Muara and the surrounding space, hosted by various contact of the family he was intent on maintaining ties with or learning from. He would briefly live in Mistriné from 16 to 12 BNE, serving as security for the Muaran Ecclesia and becoming more closely acquainted with the Republic's upper politics. Unfortunately he would be somewhat jaded by the experience, seeing the pervasive influence of GladreCorp and similar entities firsthand.

A light in the clouds, however, would be his meeting Elara Sarian in the halls of the Ecclesia, an Aoshanti lady just a year his senior. What began as an introduction by several mutual friends quickly turned into a game of everyone around them of trying to nudge the two to admit their growing feelings for each other—and in typical Muaran fashion, this continued well after they had privately confessed to each other and begun a relationship. They were married in 12 BNE, and subsequently moved to Roqirelle Manor to begin raising their family. Elara and Eridanis Roqirelle would be born to the couple in 10 and 8 BNE, respectively.

In 6 BNE, Antaris had a chance encounter with Kíne Wisteira Myrn—an aging Qoen warrior of the Order of Erethyl—during a skirmish with a renegade band of Tesar in northern Leasora. The two became fast friends, and Wisteira eventually confided in Antaris her great ambition: to restore the Garden of Mu. While she had accumulated supporters within her own order, she lacked much of the necessary allies outside of it to recreate such an organization. Antaris would feel newfound purpose in realizing this vision, and for the remainder of the decade set out to sway his own network of allies to the cause.

### Military service

#### Concourse Wars

However, during the Concourse Wars, Antaris was called to service in the Ecumene military as a registered Ecdysite in the Ascendancy campaign, and typically paired with Courser formations as a supplementary swordsman; many of his fellow pre-Gardeners would share this fate, entrusting their work to their civilian counterparts back on Muara. During this campaign he would also forge bonds with the Kragnar exile warrior Regellis of Ur'uume and Eovinjai swordsman Vahnāosh ka-Rell, both of whom would follow him back to Muara after the war.

Antaris would fight in the war all the way up the climatic Battle of Orbitritum, where he distinguished himself in leading at the front of a heroic flanking attack to relieve several Eovinjai brigades which had been pinned by Ascendancy walkers. While ultimately of marginal significance to the wider battle, the deed spread Antaris' name throughout the Ecumene and abroad. After the battle was won, Antaris was retained in the Aoshanti Concourse for the following year and a half, stationed on Apulum as part of the allied occupation.

Antaris returned to Muara on approved leave in 11 NE to the nascent Garden, which had become a registered Ecdysite order in 4 NE with Wisteira as its first Archprelate. Much to his surprise, his sisters Myrelli and Fay Roqirelle, initially apprehensive about the vision, had pitched in to refurbish the Lylel Archives and finance the new order, Elara had opened the doors of Roqirelle Manor to serve as a meeting place and infirmary while a proper headquarters was constructed, and his son Eridanis had eagerly begun training as an apprentice Ecdysite.

His return would only last a few years, as in 13 NE, Wisteira approached Antaris in secret with a new task: she had secured a redeployment for him to Acatalepsy to preside over an archaeological dig's Courser security team. In her own research, she had come to the conclusion that a mysterious power had been left there by Erethyl I, and she wished for the Garden to learn what.
