Daek

## Biography

### Early life

As his father, Duck died right before Daek was born he was raised by his mother and the village elders.

He posed a great sense of rebellion against the Island's Elders and like his dad, he was skilled in administration and law-making being credited for making the first writing system of Istrovian, the tongue spoken on The Isle.

Even though his father died before he was born, he could mysteriously speak his language showing that Daekian may be more than a language.

As he grew up Daek started helping his village in day to day work such as woodcutting, fishing or harvesting medicinal herbs. One day Daek went fishing and traveled to the other side of the Island near a cave, hoping he would catch some fish however the oceans weren't so lenient and he could not get a single fish, this made him angry and he shouted in something similar to Daekian - perhaps a sort of modified version from years of speaking Istrovian - then the ocean retreated and some fish were dying on the now wet shore, Daek was surprised and though its a coincidence but he filled his basket with the fish and proudly walked to his village.

He was asked by the other boys how did he catch so much fish - he wanted to keep the shout a secret and said it was pure luck.

### Education

When he was free from day to day work he would go to the same secluded place and attempt the shout - hoping it would once again work but unfortunately it doesn't always go as planned and the ocean didn't even flinch.

Then he realized he was missing one thing - power - last time the power came from pure frustration because of the fishing but now it had to come from something else so he developed a will to discover what the power had to come from and there he realized - its will that directs the power from the shout and when he tried once again it worked.

Over the past few days he had perfected the Shout which he called ocean breaker and learned to manipulate it - what it did was effectively move water around and he ingeniously used it to create pathways in the ocean to catch fish, however the shout consumed a ton of energy and he would be exhausted for days after doing such moves.

In the end he managed to master the ocean breaker but still kept it a secret as he feared it would get him exiled.

### Orgdnir

One day Daek was staring at the ocean waves as the sun was setting, and something awakened within him - it wasn't a new shout and it wasn't some kind of power but it was a question - is there anything else beyond the sea? His father never told the village where he came from - he insisted he fell from the sky and swam to the isle therefore the poor boy had no idea of Rathnir or Eldham but he was convinced there must be other tiny islands out there with their own villages and people.

As Daek became a teen he had to do one single job from his choice and it was fishing - there he learned from the village's most experienced fishermen how to make boats and what baits to use for different fish, one day he was with the most experienced sailor in the village who is said to have went for weeks at sea, Daek with all of his curiosity asked the sailor who's name was Orgdnir if there is any land beyond The Isle.

Orgdnir answered that there is an old folk tale - even older than the elders and those who were before that far away there's a huge landmass which has weird animals and huge tribes of people however to reach that landmass you must pass waves as high as the sky and huge sea monsters.

After hearing the story Daek was excited of finding out that there may be something out there and it motivated him.

### Training

When the boy came back to the island he quickly told the Elders about Orgdnir and the folk tale, however the Elders told him that no such man as Orgdnir exists, terrified Daek asked around and to his shock no one knew about any Orgdnir and Daek was supposedly away only for a few hours.

He though long about that and every time it creeped him out and sent chills down his spine, was he hallucinating? then as he was asking himself Orgdnir appeared but not as a human and as a grotesque lovecraftian creature rising from the seas that told him that now he is part of him and that he must control the shout.

Upon more thinking he realized that Orgdnir was a part of his mind and that he could see him however he wanted - Daek then suddenly shouted the words 'Dak Nur' - those weren't Daekian words or Istrovian - they were something else even gibberish but then Orgdnir told him that it is a shout - one that is hard to control and that comes unexpectedly - once you will control it the shout will start having an use.

After weeks of hard work trying to control those words the shout finally worked - it managed to break his physical form and make him be like water - at the cost of the body's energy.

After the effect ended he fainted for possibly a few hours until some fellow villagers found him.

He didn't remember anything - he didn't remember Orgdnir either but he remembered the folk tale of a continent far away.

### Adulthood

Daek finally passed into adulthood - he had passed the ritual of banging eachother's heads with a bamboo stick and he was put in charge of administrating the fishers and how much fish got into the storehouse, there he found out that its easier to hold a record on some sort of leather from the cows and thats how he invented a script for Istrovian that had the usage of keeping track of food and resources.

At the age of 23 he announced the village that he will leave the island to sail west in hope of finding a new land
