## The Life Of Dorian

##### Early Life

Dorian was born in the city of Matis, a small spire dedicated to storing knowledge of the great land we know as Eldham. He would grow up an only child, having few others to spend time with due to the small size of the village, because of this he would be thrust into the life of a scholar. He would spend much time taking books from the shelves and simply reading them. Reading, reading, reading, until he couldn't find anything left to read. His actions would lead to him being noticed by many important people in the tower. Most notable of all is the leader of Matis, who goes by Chero. Chero would teach Dorian many things, most special of all was the importance of gathering knowledge, and keeping it in a place where it could remain healthy, and ready for whatever person may happen on a visit.

##### First Achievements

After Dorian finally achieved the title of Scholar. Matis seemed like it wasn't enough any longer. He would begin frequent travels to other major cities, meeting other people from the nation of Rodinnbrok. Many of these people turned out to be ones he would call friends for a long time. Alongside this, he would enroll in the Rodinnian Berserkers, which was widely known as the primary military group within the nation. Through his time there he would notice many of the fighters within said corps were far below average in fighting skill and would do his best to solve this problem by hosting training in foreign lands. Lastly, Dorian would be knighted, becoming a member of the organization known as the Riddari within Rodinnbrok.

##### **Before The Fall**

###### Before The Fall: Rodinnbrok

After Dorian's time parading around the nation. He would attempt to take a bigger part within it, he knew that the position of General or Hersir was within his reach and did his best to earn it. Earning recommendations from retiring military leaders, he would become the frontrunner for the position and eventually be announced as Hersir at a summit between members of the nation. This position wouldn't last long, as Dorian would end up retiring quickly after a failed defense of a small city-state north of Rodinnbrok. This would lead to modern times, where Dorian would finally come to the realization that the one way he can help others is by hurting others. He would take notes from the wars he had partaken in, remembering the many strategies he would use for raid parties in the past, and begin to plan out his life of banditry.

###### Before The Fall: The A.W.E.

Among Dorian's travels, he made a few friends, two of which belonged to the esteemed Menel Family, one which had soured through Rodinnian political ranks. These two were a woman named Freida, and her cousin Bréant. They would grow to become very close to the two, but one-day things came to a frustrating halt. Freida enraged by the decisions of High Jarl Sandy she would leave. Sending out a letter to her closest family, and set off for the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire. Months would pass, and slowly Bréant would fade away as well. Dorian would be left without his friends, those he was so close to that he considered them family. This would lead Dorian into a great depression, until one day he was granted leave by the High Jarl, who recognized his troubles. He would go back to his hometown of Matis, and sit at his desk, writing like he hadn't ever before. Correspondents sizing up to tens of pages could be seen lying on Dorian's desk, awaiting to be shipped out to his old friend Freida. The hours he spent correcting, and perfecting his re-introduction to his dear friend's life finally came to fruition as he had them shipped out to Freida's new home of Bostadia. Over the next few weeks, they would continue to speak to each other, until an invitation came to join her in the A.W.E., for a short time at least. She would stay at Freida's new home, one of the many royal palaces of the A.W.E., courtesy of Freida's husband Endo Kamisato. Over the weeks there Dorian would soak himself into the culture of the A.W.E., doing all he can to meet those there. Dorian would become great friends with Endo, becoming partners with him in banding and taking it as a chance to practice against a fighter of similar skill.

###### Before The Fall: The Dirac Order

An unsuspecting letter sits in the mailbox of Dorian's Steigenbirge home, thinking little of it Dorian grabs it out of the box bringing it inside. Dorian would proceed to open the letter, sitting in shock at the text that appears on its cover. *"To Dorian, From Cygni Reach Superb."* After a few minutes, Dorian would gain the courage to open the letter. He'd had his fill with the high class of Eldham, but getting a personal letter from one was still a surprise. As he read through it he would understand the core message, he had gained enough notoriety as a bandit to be a recognized name. This led to him being invited to the newly founded Dirac Order, a collection of bandits dedicated to one thing, becoming the wealthiest and most powerful bandits in the realm. Meeting with Cygni in person he would do his best to grow the organization, inviting a core member and friend of his by the name of Endo Kamisato. He would proceed live with those in the Dirac Order, watching it grow and flourish as the chaos was left in its trails.

###### Before The Fall: A Distressed Homeland

Dorian had quite an eventful life in Diracia Zero. His new home and the people around him were flourishing, he was even making new comrades outside of Diracia who he would train often. Like many things in Dorian's life, it did not last though. He received a letter from an old comrade of his, High Jarl Sandy of Rodinnbrok. This letter was accompanied by many more of his friends requesting him to return after hearing news of wars brewing in the Northeast. Dorian would return to his homeland heading the call of his peers and begin the organization of the Greater Coalition. This coalition was a united force to combat the Uraki Scourge which was threatening all of the Northeast, and Dorian would be one of its three generals. He sat down with the other two generals, Cygni Superb, the highest ranking officer of Irulan and his dear friend, and Cloudy, a man from Irulan who he was more unfamiliar with. Dorian would be placed in charge of organizing training and would get right to it, making sure each and every man in that army fit the Northeastern standard. This war preparation would ultimately be unnecessary, as weeks later LadyXade of Uraka cured Imperator Neo's madness which was causing him to take such rash actions.

###### Before The Fall: A Brewers Tale

After many years of being on the battlefield, Dorian realized its flaws of it. No one benefits from a battle, many sons and daughters will never return to their parents after one, and they will always have problems during it. Battles are unpredictable, whether it be the unbeatable Uldarash or Merconis with their armies of mercenaries certain victors often do not end up winning. This would lead him to his new path, he would speak to his close friend Imperius, the Arch-Consul of Uraka, and purchase a potion recipe for him. Brashly named Blue Crystal Methamphetamine the drink would grant the user a certain amount of experience, leading it to be of great use to smiths, and incredibly profitable. Once he acquired this recipe he would push on to get his friends Cygni Superb of Diracia, Berg of Kratalia, and Max of Rokhia to accompany him in his adventure to become among the richest people in Eldham.

###### Before The Fall: No Allegiance

It felt like a full lifetime had passed Dorian. It had been a mere few years and his life had flipped upside down multiple times. His friend Cygni was to be believed to be dead, Max and Berg had both gone to their new endeavors in their own nations. He was alone, with Rodinnbrok safe, he no longer had a need to be confined to a group or a people. He would move to find greater pastures in other places, Aurora, Goonguard, and Irulan were some of the many places he would explore. Even though he was friends with these groups though, did not mean he was loyal to them. Old habits die hard afterall, and it was time to return to a life of banditry and murder once again.

###### Before The Fall: *Death, Death, Death, Causing It, and Receiving It*

A young man sits at his desk. A fine steel suit of armor on a stand in the corner of the room, and a rack of heavily enchanted and arcane swords glow on the wall. The man can be seen writing a letter, filled out piles lying next to it. Sentences detailing these words can be seen etched into it:

"Dear friend, it is time we part ways. Crystal, Bk, Tyre, and many more, have fallen in my ventures alongside you and all of our comrades. It is time I join the three. We live in a new world now, one where the place of a bandit like me is no longer available. You must move on, and you must learn to protect yourselves from the threats that loom behind closed doors. They corrupt. I came to this world with idea of protecting those around me, and I now leave it with blood coating my blade. Ave Rodinnbrok, Ave Goonguard, Ave Eldham. May the winds blow in your favor. -Dorian Damyanov."

As the letter is wrapped and packaged, he leaves it by the door for his attendants to find the next day. He then proceeds to take his sword and aim for the center of his unprotected chest.

###### Before The Fall: Oh Holy Mother! Return Me!

Rokhia is a land dedicated to its holy practices, the front of all being their Shogun and Head Priest, MaxTheBird. This very man, would change his nation's future for a large period of time, he had a vision, and from that very moment, it was decided a new queen would soon be put in place. Max would slumber in meditation for months on end, until he found his answer, Crystal of Falkreath. The ritual would begin immediately, killing Crystal only for her spirit to rise once again, immortal and all-powerful. However this event would trigger something unexpected, the body of Dorian would come back, chunks of flesh appearing out of thin air. Once more was the defender of Rodinnbrok.

## Wars

##### The Valorant War

The Valorant War was a war between the nations of Barbossa and Uraka, two former allies whose relationship had gone sour. Barbossa was clearly outnumbered in the fight, with Uraka having called upon their many allies in both the Entente and in personal alliances with them. Dorian would ride out to the fort being used to fight Barbossa, meeting up with the Rodinnian High Jarl Sandy, and other soldiers accompanying them. Dorian would kill quite a few people in the war, stopping a mad bomber from killing allied forces nearby him. This would go on to be his most memorable war, being the first in which he had equipment fitting of a soldier.

##### The Sand War

The Sand War was a war between the allies of Merconis, and Zamotz. Dorian would be leading the Rodinnian sect of the defense force, however, this effort would be all for nothing. After a mysterious crash of reality, the soldiers would awaken to a massacre. Zamotz men would be storming the keep being occupied by the defensive force slicing cleanly through each head they could spot without a friendly banner. Dorian would try his best to fend off the waves of attackers. He would use turtle master potions to attempt to stay alive, however, in the frenzy, he would be forced off the keep into a pit of lava below. He would use this as a chance to leave the clearly lost battle. As Dorian ran he would occasionally attempt to pick off stragglers from the attacking force, but it was to no avail as he returned home empty-handed, only damaged armor on his shoulders.

##### The Auroran War

The Auroran War was a war between The Eldham Entente and Uldarash, specifically the sub-nation of Aurora. This war occured due to a raid on an accidently unclaimed boardwalk, resulting in seven million coins being stolen by Uldarash. Dorian would play a role in the defense of Ardat within the war, assisting in killing an invisible bandit who was attempting to take many lands within the Ardat claims. Later on in this war they would play a logistical role, transporting large amounts of leftover potions from Ardat to support the frontline war effort.

##### The Defense of Northport

A letter would fall on the desk of Dorian in his office on Aragotha Island, a bright blue wax seal covering it, with a symbol used to detail the Auroran Order. The letter would be a call to arms, requesting his warbands leader Hasufel Takanori lend his forces for a usual hiring fee. Of course, Dorian would direct the paper to Hasufel as soon as possible, and knowing the man grab his weapons for a voyage. Embarking onwards with Cygni, Dorian would prepare for war.

After the long trip had finally finished, he would arrive in the city of Northport, Aurora. Previously a simple fishing town, it had been converted into nothing less than a fortress. Patrolling the streets, Dorian was briefed about the imminent attack which would take place by the New Dorrasterock Accords, and would begin training his Auroran contractors for battle. Once the time came, he would fight hard and fast, nearly dying on multiple close calls.

## Events

##### Akirakuschart Tournament

As Dorian attempted to gain fame and fortune within the lands of Eldham, he would begin to enter a great number of fighting tournaments. The first of which was the Akirakuschart Tournament. This fighting tournament was hosted in Sylvania, and Dorian would bring many Rodinnians alongside him for the fight, notably his good friend Karthrog who would nearly win the whole tournament. Sadly, this would end poorly for Dorian as he was placed against Karthrog in the first round, and in a close bout that could have gone either way, he was determined to be the loser and was knocked out in the first round.

##### The Sand Tournament

Organized by a fellow Rodinnian and others accompanying him, Dorian was invited to the Sand Tournament. This fight was created by request of the upcoming Rodinnian warrior by the name of ErrorL, who had recently joined the small nation. Dorian would win his first bout, crushing his opponent and punishing him for his passive fighting, however similar to the Akirakuschart Tournament he would face his match early, being knocked out by a fellow Rodinnian who would not last more than a round after. This tournament would end up with a victory by a Rodinnian named Berg.
