Blue Salmon

Blue\_Salmon\_ is a player hailing from the lands of Port-Solanaria, he swam to this place and emerged from the sea on shores of the grandest potato farming village Syltör has ever seen. Bleu Salman quickly made contact with the locals and decided that this was the place he would call home. His bright future began with a small tower by the sea dubbed Salmonhome.

## Notable Features

### **Conduit Connection**

Blue Salmon's existence in Port Solanaria is dependent on the Conduit in the harbor of the town. Originally Blue Salmon was an enlightened fish swimming through the water's of Rathnir, his sentient thought was more a curse than a blessing because no matter how much culture he observed from the water or the treasure's he could admire on the bottom of the sea, he could never join them and live amongst them.

One day Blue Salmon came across Port Solanaria and found a strange sphere calling to him. It was encased in oceans finest crystals and spoke to him like a friendly ghost. Many a time had Blue came across such a structure but never had any of them spoken to him in such a way. The conduit offered him a deal, in exchange for the knowledge of the vast seas the conduit would produce him a near human body to walk the world in. Ready for a change he accepted the deal and shed his old body and woke up in a new one. Only whisper's of his past remain to him but he knows of the bargain he struck and may someday return to the conduit for a different future.

## Life in Syltor

### **Rise to Power**

Blue\_Salmon\_ became involved in Tuberism, a potato based religion and rose through the ranks, after a month of activity in Port Solanaria and building improvements he attained many promotions as well as a small reputation in the Imperium. This was also the time period where the Imperium formed with Bardonia.

#### **Elder Potato**

Eventually Blue\_Salmon was considered for the most gilded role of Elder Potato, after consideration by the other elders he was inaugurated into their ranks. There are only five wise Elders at any given time and Blue\_Salmon\_ was now in charge of overseeing town development and recruitment as well as furthering the Tuberist Agenda.

#### **Imperial Congressman**

Salman's friend and fellow Elder Inedible nominated Bleu for Imperial Congressman to represent Solanaria on world stage but Salmon lost the election to Erian Seiz, (zzb\_news) an Elder Potato and mayor of the Port. Erian decided after winning that he no longer wanted the additional responsibility of Congressman and left the role to Blue\_Salmon\_ who filled the seat in his place.

### **Minor Achievements**

Blue\_Salmon\_ wrote the Imperial Lawbook on defamation along with fellow congresspersons abtgamerpro and Fantascurdragon. Salmon also headed projects such as the the harbor renovations of Port Solanaria and redstone contraptions to improve the Port.

### **Tuberist Infighting and Solanum Collapse**

Although the motives of Erian Seiz are up for debate, his reign of terror began to build momentum shortly after the upcoming mayoral election was announced and in favor of Ian Ninjarian, the "Iron Ninja" In the days before the peaceful turnover of power would take place Erian Seiz revealed his intentions to remain in power. He released multiple statements and orders with the purpose of solidifying his grip on the town:

> **ORDER 59 HAS BEEN DECLARED** Recent attacks and killings have left the mayoral office with no choice other than declaring a city wide lockdown. Essential workers may continue to work, all others may only leave their homes to purchase food and essentials. This will mean that vote counting for the mayoral race will be temporarily postponed indefinitely until further notice. Voting stations will also be closed for the protection of their workers. Potatoes grant us strength! - Erian Seiz, Mayor of Solanum
> **MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR** Order 59 has been declared, all beetroot worshippers have been declared outlaws in the region. Citizens are required to report any beetroot worshippers they have any knowledge of. Anyone who captures any of the following heretics will be granted a prize of enough potatoes for life: Jorgel Rykuh Ian Ninjarian, Laythe Atasevon, Bleu Salman, and Lnedible. I, Erian Seiz will also be assuming temporary emergency powers to battle the evils of the heretics and Segra. Potatoes grant us strength!

Order 59 posed a new problem for many members of the town and Bleu was forced to go undercover and avoid contact with members of the town who might try and take him captive. A notable incident was the duel between 0ddesyus and Bleu Salman in which Bleu fought for his freedom on the banks of the harbor won against a citizen loyal to Erian. Inedible and Jorgel were captured and sentenced to execution on the fourth of June.

Upon the day of the execution however, the eerie darkness cast by the followers of the false goddess Segra foreshadowed a bloody event. Bleu Salman arrived at the Shrine of the Elder Potato before the execution was to take place. Bleu Salman demanded that the innocent prisoners be released and Erian responded by denouncing Bleu Salman's actions and demanding his surrender. Laythe Atasevon showed up at this point by means of stealth and Ian Ninjarian made his arrival by force, dragging in the body of the guards outside. It was then that Erian announced the incoming Imperial platoon on orders to squash rebellious forces, Ian's guerilla soldier's came up behind him and there stood an intense standoff between the militia and the town guard. Erian gave the order for the first execution of Inedible and as the axe fell Bleu Salman threw his arm in the way of the murder weapon. Inedible's life had been spared temporarily while Bleu Salman's hand was a broken sheet of crumpled bones, as Bleu collapsed he went into a fit of madness induced by pain. With his mangled hand inside a healing potion he stumbled towards Erian with rage in his voice and the fibers of his soul. Ian took advantage of this distraction to slay the executioner, this provoked a fight between all soldiers there, the shrine of the Elders was about to be the battle ground of a massacre. Bleu Salman was brought to his senses by the marching footsteps of an approaching army drawing nearer. He fled the scene with Inedible and Jorgel. Before the Imperial platoon arrived, however, a large explosion shook the battlefield, the town guard and militiamen took heavy casualties and the battle was unable to continue. As different sides fled and the damage counted, Erian Seiz and Ian Ninjarian were among the survivors.

Weeks after the incident at the Shrine of the Elders Erian Seiz lay on his deathbed, the town was safely in the hands of Ian Ninjarian and Bleu Salman was no longer a wanted man. After Erian passed Bleu Salman felt great sorrow for his friend. While opposed at the end Bleu had many regrets about how he treated Erian, life turned grey and after staring out his window during the endless night of Segra Bleu decided he needed a new start. Bleu Salman focused his attentions on Tuberism, the religion that granted him strength.

#### **New Beginnings**

In an effort to spread his ideals and teachings, Bleu Salman set out and attained dual citizenship in the nearby Ryzani town of Tonton. Upon arriving in his new town however, he met the leader of the town fynd1 and a large group of players who were about to start a fishing competition. Although Bleu would never eat a fish he was not going to pass on a good old fishing competition. Bleu caught a mending book and won the Third Tontoni fishing competition, it was a good way to socialize with the locals and he was able to get a tour and pick out an apartment to settle in. Bleu Salman plans to establish some potato fields and give out free potatoes in hopes of growing new roots in the remarkably non-religious town of Tonton.

### **Westmarch War**

As the Ryzani influence crept over Solanum the Tuberists crept into hiding. In a secret council Blue Salmon and his fellow Tuberists forged a pact with Unic0rnB0i and swore loyalty to Bardonia. To preserve the seeds of Bardonian culture Port-Solanaria joined Ryzan and secretly shipped hundreds of thousands of dollars of gear to the Bardonian Army.

Much later the conflict came to its climax and the second seige of Tossagrad in which Blue Salmon fought beside Unic0rnB0i and Orpheus Azurov in an epic anime betrayal. Blue Salmon encountered players such as Atrejoe whom he had previously trained with and Fynd the mayor of Tonton. Blue Salmon became the owner of this war-torn city after the battle and war finally tipped towards its close as other Ryzan-controlled towns such as Tonton and Carthya were taken in the following weeks.
