## Origin Story

Berd was born and raised in a farming village underground in the nation of Uldarash, life was a struggle and the towns folk we're all rowdy and a hard bunch. Berd learned how to fight, farm, and basic maintenance skills for the small village. The village didn't think of themselves as Uldarashi or Auroran so when the strange Auroran soldiers came to demand their surrender a battle started. The villagers, being a strong bunch manage to put up a significant fight where Berd killed an Auroran warrior, taking his valuables as a memento. The town was overrun so Berd and few survivors were forced to leave through the dangerous nether roads...

One by one they either tripped into lava or were ambushed by dangerous nether creatures until Berd was the only one remaining and made it to the town of Larokin located in Ryzan. Berd spent a long while in Larokin, discovering the area,and training with his good friend Skinny, The town became an independent freehold in Ryzan and thrived.
Bird's friend Skinny also made it to Larokin, He arrived late since he decided to go by land rather than nether, a safer but slower route.

One day while in the streets of a ryzani city, Berd came across a young warrior named Astro, the child was struggling so Berd decided to train him for a little.
Over time Berd became Astro’s teacher and helped raise the boy to become a strong fighter like himself his mentorship proved invaluable for the boy who later became Emperor of Ryzan.

## After the Ryzan-Bardonian War

After the Ryzan-Bardonia war, Berd had lost the place he once called home. Berd was angry at the Bardonians; countless Ryzani’s were slaughtered during the war. All Berd could do was run from the multiple players chasing him. On the few occasions he wasn't being chased, he was forced into fights with people. But through skill and maybe some luck he survived after killing some Bardonians. Afterwards Berd focused more on Vanakunir, the nation that Skinny formed. He started to build his town “Peedale” which was later renamed Takaishima. The town is currently in construction but, there are plans to build it on the floating islands nearby.

## Dread Fleet/Ulfaeng

During his time running Vanakunir, Berd had started hanging out with Tortugans more After hanging out with people for a while, he learnt that some of them were part of the mercenary group called Ulfaeng. And later on, Berd ended up being invited to join them as one of the Huskarls.

Berd has participated in multiple wars and mercenary jobs with Ulfaeng and improved his already exceptional fighting ability. Through the wars he participated in, Berd gained numerous sets of gear and over tripled his old balance but he didn't stay in Ulfaeng forever; later on when The Dread Fleet was formed he ended up leaving Ulfaeng and joining The Dread Fleet with some others.

While in The Dread Fleet, Berd took on a couple contracts including a war against The Kingdom Of Councils, as well as a fight against Aristos. The Dread Fleet was not yet strong enough though, and many of Berd's comrades were slain which enraged Berd. A few weeks later Berd decided that The Dread Fleet was too incompetent and that he missed his olds pals in Ulfaeng, so he returned to Ulfaeng. Upon his arrival back at Ulfaeng HQ, Berd was greeted with a huge party which brought him to tears.

After some time, Berd rapidly rose through the ranks of Ulfaeng eventually becoming the 4th Fjarl. As a Fjarl of the Brotherhood and strongest fighter in it, Berd decided to take on the role of a bandit. As a bandit, Berd often took out contractors that refused to pay once the job was done, swiftly killing them and retrieving the cash. Although this was what he said he would do, he often went behind the backs of the other Fjarls, taking out those who were blessed with riches.

## Eldham/Newkunir

When the new land “Eldham” was discovered, Berd was quick to start colonizing land for his nation, In Eldham, Berd started a nation called “Newkunir” which was located in the continent “Serrona”. But overtime as people from Vanakunir wanted to look around in Eldham the population of Newkunir grew. Around that time, an alliance between Barbossa, Tortuga, and Vanakunir was formed. The alliance was called “The High Sea Pact” and it was a military alliance between the 3 nations.

So, because of the overpopulation in Newkunir, and the new friends Vanakunir had found, Berd declared war.
Soon after, Vanakuniran troops and allies were found storming a town in Santos. They took the town owner hostage, and proceeded to take over the town. That one act sparked a war.
There was then a war between Vanakunir and Santos with their friends from Avaria.
The Vanakuniran troops and the Tortugans wiped the enemy, and while Berd was fighting he saw his friend Trev was on the enemy side. He then learnt that Avaria forced him into the fight so he spared him.
Afterwards, Newkunir had gained almost half a continent's worth of land and the name “Newkunir” was feared across Eldham.
Aldovir

However due to this and Santos presenting evidence that Newkunir actually wanted to sell the land not preserve it, Newkunir's reputation soured.

At the ruins of Roscella, a treaty was formed between the nations of; Vanakunir, Cobbleworks, Sironia, Shirabaka, Carn, and, Lardburg.
The treaty marked the formation of the Empire Of Aldovir.

There Berd met many new friends including Jabber, Whiskers, and many others.
Berd also had gained the rank of “Governor-General” and became a part of the small council. And eventually Berd became the new overlord of Vanakunir as well as gaining the rank of “Master Of War”, taking charge of Aldovir's military.
