Professorutonium

**Utonium**, portrayed by ProfessorUtonium,  is a character who first appears in **Book 1.** Others also refer to him as “Professor”. Utonium's life before **Arkitahn** in Airin is unknown as of now.

### **After The Crash**

After surviving the boat crash, Utonium knew that the only way to survive is through working with others. Through this belief, he worked with the other survivors that were located in the eastern crash site. Notable other survivors include **MostOfASalad**, **Jophiel\_** and **8bitowners,** all who would later lead their own nations throughout the island. He would later be one of the founding members of **Deidra**. However unfortunately for Utonium, things went off to a rocky start. Issues from theft to petty leadership arguments arose and he wanted out and fled west.

At the western coast, the new scenery gave Utonium a place to meditate and relax. Seeing the survivors in disarray and fear from corruption led to Utonium wanting to make a change. This is where the first idea of the future **World Fair** began.

## **In Search of His Muse: The World Fair!**

Utonium was always easily motivated. His motivation would be referred to as his "muse". With his first idea of the World Fair, he found his muse in seeing the creation and the success of the Fair. He wanted to develop an event that would create a sense of unity and a day away from the horrors of corruption and this is where the idea of the World Fair stems from. Utonium decided the Fair should be held at the center of the island for ease of access. Utonium would traverse the map in order to deliver the World Fair Invitation to as many nations as he can find and discover.

### **The First Nine Invitations**

**Commercium** was the easiest town to contact as it lied the closest to the fair site. He met with Leader **pistonpoek** and Foreign Advisor **Joseph** who both would accept to be at the World Fair.

**Rivershire** was not named Rivershire when Utonium first found them. Initially, they were a group of civilians wandering the land looking for a place to live. Utonium met with their leader **Jophiel** who would accept to be at the World Fair.

**Rockport** resided along the eastern coast closest to where the original east crash site was. When Utonium entered the nation, he was told to offer something to Rockport in exchange to talk. Unfortunately, Utonium left all his belongings at the **World Fair Site**. Multiple civilians of Rockport would also attempt to pick Utonium's pockets. Fortunately for Utonium, he would meet with the leader **MostOfASalad** who would move Utonium away from the civilians and discuss Utonium's plan of a World Fair. Rockport would accept to be at the World Fair.

**Deidra** was just further up north of Rockport. When Utonium arrived, he learned that the leader **8bitowners\_** was not within the town borders and was visiting the top of the nearby volcano. Utonium climbed the volcano and gave the invitation to the leader who would accept to be at the World Fair.

**The Harbingers** resided at the top of the Volcano, talking with the leader of **Deidra.** Utonium would offer the leader of the trio, **Hikaru**, the invitation to the World Fair. The Harbingers would decline to be at the World Fair.

**Sanctus** would be found through Utonium following the northern river and land being modified by previous travelers. At Sanctus Utonium would meet with Co-Leader **Seraphim\_Here** to discuss the World Fair. Sanctus would accept to be at the World Fair. Sanctus also offered Utonium a horse to continue on with his travels. Utonium would later name this horse 'Bella'. **AssassinKitty** would also serve as guide around the western half of the map for Utonium to reach his next destination of the **Mesa Encampment**.

**Luminous Oligarchy** was an accidental find by AssassinKitty and Utonium. After following a torched path, they ended up at the western gate of the nation. AssassinKitty and Utonium would part ways as Utonium enters the Luminous Oligarchy. Utonium would discuss with council members **Yoral** and **Liljoe18** about the World Fair. The Luminous Oligarchy would accept to be at the World Fair.

**Crescentia** was right next door to the Luminous Oligarchy and Utonium followed the eastern gate path to the town. He would encounter Oracle **Saps** as well as council members **Luxera** and **Fluixon**. Crescentia would accept to be at the World Fair.

**Alexandria** would be the final of the nine nations to be initially invited to the World Fair. Utonium would head back down south and meet the nation leader **Kudo** and invite them to the World Fair. Alexandria would consider to be at the World Fair.

Utonium was happy with the initial invitations to the nations and head back to the World Fair site to begin construction of the World Fair. He requested the help from the nearby nation of Commercium with builder **Pixelpanda** helping Utonium with the construction. Everything was starting to set in place and Utonium would be happy, excited, but also afraid for the approaching day of the World Fair.

### **The World Fair and Leader Conference**

Utonium had a big day prepared of both the World Fair and the upcoming Leaders Conference. Before the start of the Fair, he put the last minute touches onto the Fairgrounds as well as inviting the "**Wandering Traders**" who would trade unique resources from outside our World. The Fairgrounds contained beautiful streamers on lampposts, minigames to play, and lots of locations for people to build and trade. Once the gates opened, Utonium's big day began.

For most of the World Fair, Utonium focused on both managing attendance as well as ensuring the happiness of the audience. In order of arrival was Representative **FastJacob** of **Commercium**, High Councilor **Luxera** of Crescentia, King **Sisaten** of **Pandora,** Head of Diplomatic Relations **Thomas** of **Sanctus**, King **MostOfASalad** of **Rockport,** Representative **Jubilee** of the **Luminous Oligarchy**, Shrine Maiden **nebblets** of **Tojina**, His Holiness Father **Bon** of **Cliffwale Abbey**, Diplomat **PrinceCaptain** of the **Mesa Encampment**, Representative **Belekas** of **Krapfenberg**, Leader **Kudo** of **Alexandria**, Leader **Jophiel** of **Rivershire**, King **8bitowners** of **Deidra**, **Euan** of **Phesimore**, Consul Mustafa **Celik** Her Emissary of the G.U.I.L.D, and **hikaru** of the **Harbingers.**

At the World Fair, Utonium met Sister **Lily** of Cliffwale Abbey and they both became penpals. Utonium being an explorer would explain to Lily what is found around the Island as Sister Lily has remained at Cliffwale Abbey since arrival.

The World Fair was an overall success for Utonium and he was happy and ecstatic of the reception by the other survivors of the island. The World Fair allowed many survivors of Airin to meet once again and Utonium wanted to bring the island together.

After the World Fair, Utonium would begin the **First Leader Conference of Arkitahn**. Utonium served as a moderator in introducing each nation and organizing the Conference. Utonium would hold the important vote when the First Corrupted about accepting the words of the corrupted and helping them. With 15 nations present, 14 said yes to helping the corrupted.

Once the conference was concluded, Utonium would ask Leader Jophiel if he could stay in Rivershire for the night as Utonium is still homeless after using all his resources for the fair.

## **In Search of His Muse: The Travel Guides!**

With the success of the World Fair, Utonium woke up in **Rivershire** ecstatic and happy but, suddenly lost it all. He spent the last few nights, few weeks dedicated to the **World Fair** and now, his muse left him once again. He had to begin his search once again and Utonium looked towards his love and drive for exploration. Utonium would set his eyes on creating the **"Arkitahn Travel Guide"** and explore the island once again to document his experiences of every nation and to encourage others to travel and explore. Thus, he found his new muse in exploration and the creation of the guide. He picked up his supplies in Rivershire and set his sights to the west.

### **Volume 1: Cliffwale Abbey**

West of Cliffwale Abbey lied the remarkable **Cliffwale Abbey**, home of Father **Bon** and Utonium's pen-pal Sister **Lily.** Upon arrival, Utonium saw his pen-pal creating a fascinating game she called "Sand and Gravel". Utonium was challenged by Lily to this game and surprisingly won against the creator. Lily would then take Utonium around Cliffwale Abbey to explore the remarkable sights that the nation held. Utonium would also attend a sermon held by Father Bon with Abbey members Lily, **Ram**, **Lamp**, and **PotatoBoi02** in attendance. Father Bon would gift Utonium the "Communion Emerald" which Utonium will carry until the end of his life. During the sermon, Utonium would learn about the holy balance of **Y'Garosh**, **Gorb**, and **Chastity**. Utonium would then sit by the holy lake where offspring of Gorb and Chastity reside to write his travel guide about Cliffwale Abbey.

*"His Holiness, Father Bon told me “Crescat Scientia vita excolatur”. This translates to “Let knowledge grow, let life be enriched” and these words are good to follow. If you ever find yourself lost due to the corruption or afraid of the evils that arrived due to it, Cliffwale Abbey is the place to be. From the warmth, to the unity, this place will always remind you of home"* - (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)

Unfortunately for Utonium and Cliffwale Abbey, the festivities would be cut short. As the sun set, the rising moon would be the phenomena known as the "**Blood Moon**". Utonium would seek shelter inside of the Abbey with the other members of the nation to wait out the terrors that arose with the unique moon. Once the sun rose, Utonium bid his farewell to Lily and the rest of Cliffwale Abbey and head further west to explore more new lands.

### **Volume 2: The Mesa Encampment**

Southwest of Cliffwale Abbey lied the Hidden Valley of the Mesa Encampment. Utonium met citizen Noverita who gave him a small tour of the Mesa Encampment. Utonium would spend two nights here.

*"The Mesa Encampment is a place you will not want to miss. They will welcome you with open arms, give you fresh food, and allow you to seek shelter when in the rain as I did. They tirelessly work in the fields during the rain and even building walls during the rain and that shows their wonderful grit and strength. To be able to live in such a harsh environment such as the Mesa is a terrifying task. However, the beauty of nature shines again within this valley and to see nature and beauty is something I recommend to all. From the towering bamboo, beautiful flora, fields of wheat, and the lively bees that buzz around all come together to create the beautiful nation known as the Mesa Encampment."* (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)

### **Volume 3: Tojinja**

North of The Mesa Encampment lied the small nation of **Tojinja**. Utonium would meet with resident **2Spooky4u** who would give a small overview of the nation for the Travel Guide. Utonium would spend one night here inside of the Pagoda.

*"Tojinja resides on top of a hill in the western side of the island. To climb up the hill, you must either take the steep road or the nice pleasant forest path. Really is up to you. For now, Tojinja is still under construction and building the best they can. During my stay, I got to meet the fabulous ‘2Spooky4U’ to discuss the history of Tojinja. Climbing to the top of the Pagoda was a beautiful sight. To anyone wishing for a place to enjoy while on the run from the night or corruption, stay the night at Tojinja and see the beauty of the landscape from the top of the tower."* (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)

### **Volume 3.5: Luminous Oligarchy**

Once morning rose, Utonium would head north to the **Luminous Oligarchy**. Before arrival, Utonium met fellow travelers **Vizulix** and **UPGX** and together, the three of them travel to the Oligarchy. Upon arrival, they learn of Luminous Oligarchy merging with the nearby nation of **Crescentia**. Before heading towards Crescentia, Vizulix and Utonium meet with the traveler named **Anansi**. Anansi would explain of a dream and the spyglass that they were searching for. Utonium, however, had his sights set for the completion of the travel guide and paid no attention to the woes that did not relate to his book. After, Utonium and Vizulix would both head to Crescentia with different goals in mind.

### **Volume 4: Crescentia**

Utonium and **Vizulix** arrived at a very opportune time to Crescentia. In Crescentia, the Crescentia World Leader meeting was being held. Before the meeting however, Utonium would explore the areas of Crescentia and talk about the upcoming World Library, the future home of the Travel Guides, the various buildings and homes, and the story of Crescentia.

*"Crescentia is named after the crescent shaped valley that borders the town which protects them from the south side of the town.  Crescentia’s oracle, Saps, is the holy figure within these lands. Other than the oracle, Crescentia guides the nation under a council. Members such as Fluxion and Luxera are part of this council to help guide the nation of Crescentia."* (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)

The events that occurred at the leader meeting from the leaders talking to the appearance of **Lumine**, **Zendrei**, **Vidaldis**, and the **Hooded Figure** did not phase Utonium. His only goal was to finish the Travel Guide and he set his sights to new locations and new nations around the map without a care for what happened here. However due to the end of the event conference being chaotic with night creatures appearing suddenly, Utonium fled south to Rivershire with other survivors to seek refuge.

### **Volume 5: Rivershire**

After escaping the tragedy that occurred at **Crescentia**, Utonium fled back to where he started at **Rivershire**. Upon arrival, the survivors would debated on what to do with the fall of Crescentia. While all these new arrivals debated on what to do and leaders panicked, Utonium explored the town to his heart's content as he has not been in since the World Fair. He explored the higher walls, the new homes, and the fancy new gate system that was added. The town was also filled with joy and partying due to surviving what happened at Crescentia and Utonium took part in the festivities.

*"A night of what everyone believed to be fear and horror turned into happiness and laughter. People played music that came with the mysterious traveling merchants at the World Fair and they all relaxed and sang the night away and it showed the type of nation Rivershire is supposed to be. They are a nation for all and what nation for all would be this nation of people scared and always in fear? They sang to their heart's content with the music and enjoyed the company of all the new refugees and made everyone feel welcome."* (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)

Once all the festivities wrapped up, Utonium looked to travel the eastern portion of the island after writing about the west.

### **Volume 6: Alexandria**

Before setting his sights on new lands to explore, **Luxera** of Crescentia asked Utonium if he knew the location of **Alexandria**. Utonium offered to guide Luxera to Alexandria as that was also where Utonium was headed. In the southeast islands of Arkitahn lied the small town of Alexandria. At the nation, Utonium would meet with Leader **Kudo** who would give him a small tour of the island.

*"Kudo, leader and founder of Alexandria, told me “This is a nice island to Zendrei and Wishes for those who are contemptuous of staying on this island to stay”. I would love to stay too! Especially with the beautiful forests of mushroom, birch, and spruce. These islands are a wonderful place to stay and reside if you are looking for a land far away and isolated."* (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)

### **Volume 7: Rockport**

Upon arriving to **Rockport**, Utonium was given the tour by resident fisherman **Ronnie2K**. Utonium would explore the town of Rockport with his guide to learn about the different buildings of Rockport from the fascinating statues, the tavern, and the magnificent town hall.

*"One building that stood out to me was the Town Hall of Rockport. This building was magnificent both on the outside and the inside. On the outside, statues and towers guarded the town hall and gave it a sense of authority and protection. On the inside however, it was a place of unity. The inside was a place for meeting, hence a town hall. From **MostOfASalad**’s lectern to the nation artifacts, from the seating to the chandelier high above, this place was fit to be a place for meeting. The exterior shows power while the interior shows beauty and art. It is where I am able to sit and write this volume. The beauty on the inside helps me think and to stay calm away from the exterior hardships." (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)*

### Volume 8: Deidra

On his way north , Utonium met with the King **8bitowners** who was out traveling south out of **Deidra**. Utonium asked the King questions about Deidra before heading out.

*"Deidra also has a fabulous marketplace where traders come and go to stimulate the economy. This nation is home to multiple different animals and insects from cows to bees giving the nation a source of food and economy to trade. While the nation is small, the jewel of the empire comes from the nation members within. I recommend to visit this nation if you are a wandering traveler looking for a home or just wanting to see the beautiful snowy trees!"(Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)*

### **Volume 9: Sanctus**

When arriving at the doorstep of **Sanctus**, Utonium met with **Ashen** and asked if he could document and record Sanctus into the travel guide. Unfortunately, Utonium would be declined entrance into Sanctus as they thought he came with ill intentions. This would later be cleared up and Utonium has plans one day of his return.

*"Sanctus didn’t let me in. A sad day even with me keeping their horse they gave to me as a gift alive since the World Fair. The main Sanctus town is a Military Base and are refusing entry to keep civilians safe. I would not recommend visiting and to stay outside as they have strict orders to kill anyone spotted." (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)*

### **Volume 10: Commercium**

Upon arrival to **Commercium**, Utonium met with King **pistonpoek** who would not only show what the nation has to offer but also offer Utonium residency to stay at Commercium. Utonium would humbly decline as his only muse is to finish the travel guide at the moment.

*"If you are looking for a place to trade or even relax in, Commercium is the place to go. Commercium preaches itself as the city without war and staying inside the walls, I feel safe and protected. To anyone wishing to live a life of trade without war, I recommend this town. Even just visiting to see the remarkable architecture is enough to make someone’s day better. The city of trade welcomes those who are wishing to trade or to live a life away from war and hate. Possibly one of the last safe havens from corruption with the protection this nation has through large walls and towers." (Excerpt from **The Arkitahn Travel Guide**)*

### **Completion of the Travel Guide**

After his stay in **Commercium**, Utonium went straight to **Crescentia** to organize and store his 10 Volumes of the **Arkitahn Travel Guide**. Utonium also planned five more volumes of the Travel Guide for the nations of **Phesimore**, **Solace**, **G.U.I.L.D,** **Krapfenberg**, and **Pandora**. However, once the original ten volumes were filed into the Library, he would lose his muse and feel unmotivated to continue traveling the world for nations he did not know the locations of. With the completion of the travel guide, he would search the world once again to discover his motivation and his muse.

## Interlude

Utonium would continue to explore the world in search of a new meaning of life and his new muse. When exiting **New Crescentia**, Utonium met with the traveler **Bardun**. Bardun would invite Utonium on an expedition to the "Stone Spikes" in the southwest. Utonium would take this offer in hopes of finding his muse in newfound land. Utonium would travel with Bardun for two nights at **Cliffwale Abbey** and Bardun's old home at the Stone Spikes.

After the journey, Utonium would visit the **World Library** once more to add a few last minute details to the Guide. At Crescentia, he would meet **Vizulix** once more who asked for guidance to **Commercium** and the **Riverlands**. At Commercium, Utonium would meet King **pistonpoek** once more who would ask Utonium for guidance in motivation for the upcoming **Medieval Fair**. Utonium would talk about finding a muse and motivation are the ways to live life and explained how he lives life this way. After the conversation, Vizulix and Utonium would head south to the **Riverlands** where Utonium would take shelter in **Rivershire** for the night until he finds his next muse and calling.
