Asselli-Nak

**Asselli** can be best described as a traditionalist. He lives by the laws of the Monshil-nak. He prefers Direct rather than indirect action and seeks to end conflicts quickly. Asselli wishes to preserve the Idan way but also knows the importance of modern society and the influence it can have on his way of life. He is a fair and just ruler, who seeks nothing more than prosperity for his people.

## History

### Early Life

during his early life, Asselli lived with his mother and father, and travelled around the vast deserts of Rathnir with the Monshil-Nak Clan. when he was 12 his mother perished of heatstroke and so he was only left with his father. when he came of age at 18 he began taking on many more duties within the clan, soon he became an admired tribesmen within the monshil-nak. when he was 23 the Haban-Bevk contacted the Monshil-nak about how they found the location of Ersetu, a ancient and prophesized land of plentiful valleys where the idan were to settle down, he helped lead his tribe their and soon settled down. during this time he developed many traditionalist values of how to run the clan, but soon he realized that though their culture should not be altered, they needed to adapt to fit in with contemporary society. he began learning the trade of blacksmithing and by his late 30's he had amassed a great fortune.

### Becoming Elder

the Monshil Nak went through the most elders during the founding of Ersetu. when Bishop ( the first in-game elder of the monshil-nak) left, Skavier1011 was chosen as his successor, Skavier had a relatively successful defensive policy, he constructed Fort-Jerada ( the fort within Ersetu) and the palisades around the city, during this time Asselli was chosen as financier for the tribe as well as being a member of the city militia. around the same time he started his bar ( the bar in the hill ) which stoney visited on a few occasions. not too long into Skavier's eldership, he received a vision telling him to reclaim the castellen culture, and so he left the Idan with a small group of followers and set sail for Eldham. an election was held for who should take over the Monshil-Nak and Asselli was chosen.

### Life as an Elder

as an elder asselli performed many tasks. firstly he created nicer pathways within Ersetu, improving the quality of the city, as well as gathering new members who then went on to construct many useful structures, such as the communal storage. during this time he also created the Burial Tomb of the Monshil-nak. not long after Annun Haban-Bevk ( the high chief of the Idan) became the Count of Apsaril (renamed to Saimara by the Idan). Asselli took on the task of reforming the City Militia into a County guard, to better protect the people of Saimara, he had help from the fortress city of Prisma, where the Headquarters were built. at about the same time Skavier returned with is followers, the expedition into Eldham proving unsuccessful. they requested shelter, Asselli strongly urged Annun to create Skavier the sahrad (mayor) of Koneshum, a abandoned city in Saimara. Annun agreed.

#### The Castellen Feud

not long after establishing themselves within Koneshum, the Castellen people quickly began to expand their city and creating it into a gem. not long after this had happened the Bardonian Expansion was realized by the Yimmu-Audal nobility and on the day Mistic Died (for a week) an unofficial meeting was held, there, the regent council talked about different ideas on how to deal with the Bardonian threat, the arguments they presented where seen as weak by Skavier who proceeded to try start a "military reform party" within Yimmu-Audal, who's goals where to demand military reform through political or militaristic threats. this was soon shut down by the regent council, as Yimmu-Audal was a autocratic nation and they threatened skavier with intervention. Skavier was forgiven by Mistic, upon her return. but the Idan were furious, especially Asselli, who felt directly responsible for this as he was the one who recommended Skavier as Sahrad of Koneshum. the relations between the Castellens and Idan deteriorated greatly, with both sides vying for power within the county. Asselli, who saw Skavier as a mentor and close friend, felt betrayed by this and quickly began implementing regulations to limit castellen influence within Saimara, he saw the Castellen culture as an attack on the Monshil-Nak, he eventually chose to implement a vote on whether or not to kick Skavier out of the Monshil-Nak, the vote had a overwhelming majority to exile him. though Asselli felt grief for losing a friend, he knew that the Monshil-Nak were more important than a turncoat.

### The Countship of Auraion

the monshil-nak became larger and larger and richer and richer, Asselli saw it necessary for the Monshil-nak to create a settlement of their own and help spread the Idan Culture after getting the approval of the other elders and Annun, he set out to search Yimmu-Audal for a suitable location, he soon came across the County of Auraion, a seemingly abandoned county, after speaking to the Duke of Theionikos ( Lethal-Muffin) he was granted the entire county, he quickly began implementing changes, integrating squatter settlements and constructing the new County Capital, Nous-il

#### The Castellen Resolution

after long talks between the elders of the Idan-Ridu and the minsters of the Castellens a settlement has been reached, ending the feud. though Skavier is not yet back in the Idan-Ridu, the two cultures are on the path to reconciliation. Asselli will follow the decision of the Elders.

##### Founding of the Riders of Theiós

seeing as the duchy of Theiónikos was lacking a local military, Asselli approached Archon LethalMuffin and proposed the creation of a holy order; the Holy order of the Riders of Theiós. the archon accepted this proposal and after drawing up the charter the order was legitimized into being. Currently the riders of Theiós act as the official paramilitary of Theiónikos and, by extension, Theiósism.

### The Dukeship of Theiónikos

not long after the Creation of the Riders of Theiós Lethalmuffin entered a extended period of inactivity. this led to a mini-darkage in Theiónikos where little could be or was done (due to restrictions in the constitution). after Foxmunk ascended to Emperorship of Yimmu-audal he decided to appoint a new duke. he decided that Asselli should be the next duke. Asselli accepted this and quickly worked on reforming the Archonate.

#### The New Constitution

seeing as the current constitution did not adress many issues that the people had and greatly reduced the goverments ability to function without a leader, Asselli quickly started on working on rewriting the constitution. he proclaimed Theiónikos to be the Archonate of Theiónikos and to run as a Theiocratic constutituional Autocracy, where the archon had complete control over all goings on of the state but their were noble and civilian bodies which could also complete these functions (though any proposals or initiatives could be altered or VETOed by the Archon). the new constituition also changed the method for legalizing faiths as this was a major issue at the time.

#### New Appointments

the archon quickly moved to assign a new count of Aysinco and Theióktikos. he quickly went on to assign a Ministry as well. the ministry was a body which was in charge of many aspects of the Archonate, such as finances, diplomacy, internal affairs and much more.
