**James Plynorel**, Zhemos Pynoril in the Kuzat Language, is a human citizen of Acodon in Alda. He is a Zefranian nationalist and Luxite nationalist. He joined the server in December of 2021, and immediately saw and, briefly, fought in the Sinatran Civil War on the side of Acodon. He is notable for wearing iron armor during the fight, in which you can see in Hyperion recording of the Siege of Acodon and also for creating Luxite Nationalism. He is also known for his generally cheerful and friendly attitude, but can become very serious - especially when discussing religion. James is also a hardline anti-communist and traditionalist, which fuels his beliefs. He also likes capitalism. James also is known for his work reviving the Old Kuzat language, much to the grace of his friend Orleborle.

## Biography

James Plynorel was a little known citizen of Acodon during its early days. He fought in the Zefranian War of Independence, wearing his legendary iron sword, eating his famous kelp, and demolishing Sinatran morale. After the war, he became well known in Acodon. After the war, he wrote books on Luxite Nationalism, which inspired the Luxite Nationalist Manifesto written by Orleborle (a good friend of his). James plans on making a renewed version to Orleborle's manifesto which will give more power to the Nationalists and will detail more of the political, religious, and economic sides of Luxite Nationalism.

A few days before the War, James started small farms on both his rooftop and outside Acodon's trust area. He also encountered a minor bandit raid, where he was forced to quit after the bandits found a way up the wall, which he told to Orleborle minutes before the War.

### Zefranian War of Independence

During the War, James wore his iron armor he had recently crafted, bore his netherite sword generously gifted to him by Orleborle, and had his hotbar loaded with fresh n' ready kelp. He helped defend the walls of Acodon and revealed a hidden error in the walls allowing enemies to jump onto the walls without being inside the trust area. He rushed with the rest of Acodon's forces to charge the weaker Sinatran force, but got lost and made his way home. There, he was killed by an Acodon warrior who thought he was a Sinatran. This accident was quickly settled and the other warrior allowed him to take everything back from his death chest.

### Religious Books

Immediately following this interaction with the warrior, James wrote his books on Luxite (and Acodon) nationalism. After this, the god Tenebris, angered by his books, made James fall into a deep coma for 6 months. James woke up from the coma on July 23rd, 2022, and has begun to learn the horrible news of the deaths of Orleborle and TGOMaster, as well as Zefrania being incorporated into Alda. This enrages him, and, although he considers the Aldans fair, he will do anything to make Acodon independent - especially if it makes Lux happy. On July 24, 2022, just one day after waking up, he realized he had lost his 3 Holy Books and he couldn't find Orleborle's Manifesto. He looked around Acodon and got Duke Don the Red to show him the Library in Vanyr, but, alas, the books weren't found. So, instead, he crafted a book and quill and began writing. He wrote a new book - *Lux and Nation*. He hopes he can spread the word of Luxite Nationalism across Rathnir, and also hopes his book will be blessed by Lux herself so that it will be preserved from thieves.

### Death and Revival

Later, after arriving in Luxios, James wanted to return home to Acodon and see if, by some miracle, someone had returned. He was somewhat fearful of the Vanyr / Alda government, so, instead of taking the ice tunnel, he walk upon the sand back home. While wandering the desert, he was smited by Tenebris himself, and was killed instantly. After Orleborle's resurrection, he was resurrected into a new body. He became the Minister of Culture and Religion and a bishop in Acodon, hoping to spread the glory of Luxite Nationalism throughout Ummarnu and the whole of Rathnir itself.

### The Monolith

James' friend Orleborle had talked to him about a town he was founding in Nandór called "Al-Izula". James, not having anything better to do after the Nearon destruction of Zefrania, immediately went to visit Orle in his town. Before leaving, however, he went to his home in Acodon, which he hadn't visited in many months, to see what had been sacked. But something was still there. The Monolith, an ancient tablet of obsidian encoded into some ancient language. James prayed to Lux, but nothing happened, even in Lux's glory. Then, something amazing happened. The desert sand around the man began to encircle him, and it seemed as though tongues of flame began to light him on fire from the sky above, though he was untouched. And, in this most holy moment, he could understand the Monolith. He read it perfectly, like his native language. He had deciphered the Monolith and had thus become the first native speaker of Old Kuzat possibly since Rathnir's establishment, a language originating by indigenous tribes possibly before the Great Migration from Jagdas. On the Monolith, it was written of Achon (or Hkn in the ancient language), an ancient religion and pantheon. James read the Monolith intensely, realizing he had been wrong his whole life. He took his book of Luxite Nationalism and spit on it, casting it into fire. He then knelt down to pray to his knew lord - Amahl, goddess of the sky, rivers, and goodness. The 8 tenants of Achon echoed through his mind in Kuzat: "kindness, peacefulness, gentleness, mercifulness, helpfulness, hospitality, meditation, and neutrality". He was, for the first time in his life, at peace. The memories of war, the memories of travel, the memories of everything horrific he had ever experienced all vanished in the moment. He vowed, then and there, to convert everyone willing he could to Achon. His mind raced with thoughts, but he calmed them with his will. He grabbed a pen and wrote down the first sentences in Kuzat: "Love your enemies, for, though they may be wrong in deed and belief, they can be converted through the Tenants. Amahl is the lord and those who follow her will become peaceful in their next life." James didn't even pack his bags - he just got up with the things he had on him and the booklet in Kuzat and practically sprinted to Al Izula with newfound strength.

### The Founding of Achon

"I had heard of Achon recently, through old texts written in the Kuzat native to me. This, however, is different. I have never seen the Monolith deciphered. This proves that Amahl is real and Lux is just a false god, possibly descended from the stories of Amahl," Orle said when reading what James had written. James revealed his newfound knowledge of Old Kuzat. Orle was astounded and was converted on that day, rejecting Lux as the lord and embracing Amahl. One by one, most of the other Zefranians were converted to Achon by Orle and James. James, just a few days later, set down to record a new book.

### On the Achon Pantheon

"The Achon Pantheon is most supreme. I once was a Luxite, indoctrinated by the promises of Lux and of day. I founded Luxite Nationalism, a religion determined to become the sole aspect of one’s life. Since my reincarnation, Orle has shown me the light. On the Monolith, it was written of Achon in the ancient Kuzat language. I realized I could understand the language. Tongues of light and flame from the good and holy Amahl drifted into me, allowing me to understand the sacred and holy Kuzat language - one blessed by Amahl and the beings of the desert. It all made sense to me now - I, and you, dear reader, must follow the way of kindness, peacefulness, gentleness, mercifulness, helpfulness, hospitality, mediation, and neutrality, for it is the way of goodness, of Amahl, and of Hekun-Achon."
