TinQuil

## Overview

The founder of Hauclan. TinQuil is a mysterious and isolated individual in this land. He is extremely reluctant to answer any questions about his life before, but is eager to provide any assistance to other citizens that may find their way to Hauclan. Unfortunately, his land's sheer geographical distance from the other lands established has proved to work against his desires to help his fellow citizens, most notably during Aurora's unwilling resurrection of Fred and the slaying of the ender dragon. Despite this he always has extra food, drink and beds set aside for any guests he may have in the future. He's even gone so far as to construct a lighthouse, road markers, and way stations for the sake of making it easier for any intrepid explorers among his fellow citizens to find Hauclan should they need safe harbor during their travels. Otherwise though, he is more than content to stay out of matters regarding the other nations and lands. He is also incredibly thankful for the fact that none of the citizens who’ve come to settle the land appear to be able to die, in large part due to just how often he dies to the creatures that roam there.

## Appearance

A tall, thin, and red headed, young man. He is 5’10, and always wears a black featureless mask and fine clothes. His face mask also has green lenses, covers his face except some space around the bottom of his jaw, and clasps shut at the back of his head with three straps. One around each side and one over the top, meeting in a silver clasp. He prefers his blue vest and purple cravat with silver buttons and clip over a white shirt with silver cuff links though will occasionally forgo his blue vest in favor for a red one, or no vest at all. He also wears black slacks with well made brown boots.

## History

### Battle of Torfael

The Battle of Torfael was one of the few occasions that his isolation worked to his benefit and accomplished exactly what he intended it to, keeping him out of the other land's 'political nonsense'. Though his commentary in the aftermath did reveal he has a particularly deep distaste for 'revolutionary political nonsense'. Whether that means he supported Morran the King or is a hint at what drove him to become a settler is currently unclear.

### The Resurrection of Fred

When Aurora started to hear Fred's voice he called for his assistance, and he started to make his way towards him. Unfortunately the distance of Hauclan from the other lands worked against him in this case. Despite encouraging him to fight back against Fred and his influence, the Enderman proved too strong and too deeply entrenched in Aurora and forced him to resurrect him before TinQuil could reach them. Afterwards while attempting comfort him and learn what all exactly happened, he brought up that the fact none of the citizens can die in this land is an invaluable tool that will let them weather any storm Fred can send their way and figure out solutions to work around the Enderman through trial and error since "nothing is invincible". He also revealed that despite following the varied religious traditions to show respect to his homeland's gods, he believes more in the strength of an individual's will and the support of a community than he does in the divine.

### The Slaying of the Ender Dragon

Unfortunately, due to having gotten completely lost the day before and losing many resources thanks to the treacherous journey between Hauclan and the other Lands, he was severely underprepared to participate in this event. Even worse, things only went down hill for him from there. Falling off a ladder and dying on the way to the stronghold may have provided an opportunity to get ahold of his enchanted bow and arrows, but dying to a spider just before being transported wasted that opportunity. Then his seeming inability to make use of the bed placed near the end portal caused him to hesitate and miss a decent chunk of the fight. That afterwards he was not able to actually provide any assistance due to lacking a ranged weapon after steeling his resolve to jump in and help bed or no bed only served to further wound his pride. That shortly afterwards he died to an Enderman and effectively lost the diamond armor that Cyloci lent him just served to make his day even worse. According to his private journals the failure to provide assistance here and to Aurora during the Fred incident has left him questioning his worth to the community and contemplating further isolating himself to avoid being a burden in the future.

### The reclamation of Torfael

After the abandonment of and subsequent destruction of Torfael by (in Cyloci’s words) “The wrath of the gods”, TinQuil went about removing the lava that sprouted up and other reconstruction efforts. He covered up part of the canyon that has formed in the middle of it, removed several blocks of dynamite he found in the ground overhanging the canyon, and started to grow moss, vines, and trees along the floors and walls of the canyon. He has also made efforts to try and repair several buildings.

“I spit in the eyes of any gods who dare take their rage out on the land, all the lava has been removed. Praise Kernou.”

### Neighbors Moving In

When Foxlover moved in and established their own land close to Hauclan, Tin went out of his way to be as helpful as he could for his new neighbor. Even going so far as to allow them access to his storehouse. He also did the same for the others who later followed Foxlover in setting up areas close by. The inclusion of his new neighbors in his life did much to dispel his doubts about his worth to the community and get him to abandon any plans to further live in seclusion. The developing comradery was enough to also give him confidence in the ability of him and his neighbors to handle the potential warden and Ancient City that some claim to have heard skulking in the caverns beneath Hauclan and its neighbors.
