## Origins

### Early Life

Hailing from a family of nomads, Daldor had no place he could call his homeland, having traversed and slept in many lands, never settling into a land for a week at most. When he reached his coming-of-age, as per tradition, preparing himself a bag of provisions and a map, he set off from his family, and bade them a farewell.

Years would pass as he continued the lifestyle he was raised on, picking up various skills in bartering and haggling for prices. However, as he traveled, he encountered the beginnings of many budding kingdom, and before long, began to yearn for the companionship these small nations possessed. However, due to the sheer culture difference his own lifestyle had with the nations around him, he could never truly adapt to the nation, forcing him to leave, and seek a new home.

During his travels, he heard rumors of new lands being found, referred as the Lands of Eldham. Curious and interested in the idea of vast unclaimed land, he paid for a boat fare, and made his way to the new lands. Upon reaching the new lands, he couldn't help but look on with wonder of the geographical differences the lands of Rathnir had compared to these new untouched lands.

For several days, he would wander throughout the lands, discovering the rapid expansions of new nations and kingdoms, who had little to fear of older nations whose roots were tied back at Rathnir. During the day, he traveled, the clear skies providing light, while under the bright moonlight, he slept in the ruins of civilizations long forgotten. During one such instance when he began setting up camp, he discovered a set of clothing once belonging to an unknown general. Taking a liking for the design, he forgoed his original apparel for it, taking a special liking to the red beret. Soon, he came across a location unofficially known as the center of the world, a location believed to be a place of great wealth, something he learned to be a lie.

Making acquaintances with the locals, he discovered that a budding nation called Ahalia was seeking to expand their borders, and was located in a desert, which was land that he was familiar with, his family having traversed over the hot sands many times in his childhood. Taking a chance, upon learning the directions needed to reach it, he moved.

Along the way, he would chance upon a member of the nation, a man named Wambold, who was guiding another potential citizen, a strange sloth-like humanoid named Octieus, and later on, a knight named PanicTheSlavik. In time, the group would arrive at the capital city of JePola, where after being given a tour, they would meet and make an acquaintance in the king of the nation, Theo Zevedeos.

Originally intended to be given temporary lodging in a dorm while new homes were built, they were given permanent housing at the nearby village of Dinas, which was founded by their guide, Wambold. Settling into his new home, Daldor would go on to find his own store, and though brief, would become the leader of the now defunct settlement of Olandia.
