BackToTheHub

Born in the forests of Old Bardonia, Hub was taken in at a young age to pay off his parents debt. He was made a slave and taught to fight, later competing in numerous gladiatorial tournaments. As he grew older he gained more and more reputation as a fighter, attracting the attention of numerous buyers until Uni, the future Chancellor of Bardonia, purchased him. Uni would later teach Hub the basics of leadership and introduce him to Dandelionism. As time went on, Hub dedicated himself to Dandelionism, eventually becoming a dandelist cleric and the body guard of the chancellor and the other senators, despite some of them not even needing the protection. Hub currently owns the Abyssal Isles and is known as a convict in Bardonia, worshiping both Dandelism and The Order of Ichor.

## Notable Events

### Great Golden War

Only a few months (2 weeks irl) after helping to found Bardonia, Hub was found mining in Uldarashi land, new to these parts and ignorant of the politics that had happened before arriving to Rathnir, Uldarash demanded a payment of 100k for illegally mining in the mesa, and Bardonia being a newer nation, having an excess of pride and a lack of money, they refused to pay, forcing Uldarash to take this to Bardonian land. The Golden War was a tense one, starting with a long period of tense silence between the two forces, and eventually exploding into an all out fight, Hub fighting alongside Ezexus and eventually pushing the Uldarashi forces back, before taking them out completely and winning the war.

### Trillium War

Tensions between Yimmu-Audal and Escharia were rising, and after years of these high tensions a war finally broke out, with the Trillium fighting against Yimmu-Audal and their allies. Hub and Ezexus were in charge of commanding the attacking forces for the Trillium forces, racking up tens of kills between the two of them alone, making up a huge portion of the Trillium fighting force. A bit after the start of the battle the two of them were separated, leaving Hub to fight 15 players on his own, winning the fight after around fifteen minutes of nonstop combat. Around the end of the battle Hub encountered the Yimmu-Audal leader Carpicious, executing her almost instantly and taking her head as a trophy.

### Bardonian coup

After only a few nations were annexed into Bardonia, the citizens of Bardonia had enough, throwing a coup against the Bardonian Senate and creating a new government. During this coup the Bardonian citizens managed to capture Bardonias two best fighters, many of their own men dying in the capture, but managing to capture Hub and Ezexus, Hub losing one of his arms in the fighting.

### Execution

After being imprisoned for their crimes against Bardonia and Rathnir as a whole, Hub and Ezexus were set to be executed at the inauguration of President JurzTheAndal. Only days before the day of the execution, a team of Hubs close friends hatched a plan to save Hub, waiting for him to be released from his cage and escorted to the gallows, the team would throw an invisibility potion and speed potion onto Hub, allowing his to escape into the wilderness and make it home to the Drifting Isles. Hub buried Ezexus in an empty grave on the Drifting Isles, occasionally sitting down beside it to mourn and talk to his late friend and mentor.

### **New arm**

After a few days spent recovering from the loss of an arm and the betrayal of those he cared for the most, Hub set out to Tzseu's lab, hoping to use the bits and pieces of knowledge he had from assisting Tzseu in her lab to make a new arm, using miscellaneous parts found in Tzseu's lab he would make a robotic arm, allowing him to fight once again.

### **Mercenary guild**

After recovering from the coup and replacing his lost arm, Hub would found a mercenary guild based on the Drifting Isles, now called Dead Mans Isles. This would become his main source of income and a way to regain his ruined reputation. Though the guild still hasn't been named he manages to get a bit of business here and there, mainly fighting in wars for nations he never thought he fight alongside.

### **Corruption**

The constant exposure to the Abyss below The Isles had begun to corrupt Hub, his severed arm regrowing as a deformed blue tumor, pulsating as if it had a will of it's own. The corruption was manageable at first, the biggest problem being the upkeep of his robotic arm, but as it spread it began to transform his mind and body, his blood becoming blue and watery, and his mind being filled with thoughts of doing the bidding of the Abyss, eventually degrading into a fascination with Entropy and the Blood God Gruh.

As his corruption grew worse and worse, he sought out help from the Aurorans and the Abyss Mystics, eventually being given a supposed cure made from a wither rose of Entropy, the Ichor of Life. It was said to be strong enough to cure all ailments, but the addition of Entropy's wither rose only worsened his corruption, spreading to his face and slowly spreading to the rest of his body. After drinking this "cure" he would go on to escape Fornost, returning to the Isles and attacking Carpicious, Athaz, Dotto, Ithrilvar and Lokki just outside of the Isles, hanging up their heads on the Isles. The corruption turned Hub into a worshiper of Entropy, and he now works to expand her influence across Rathnir.

### **Entropy Arc**

With Entropys influence controlling Hub and manipulating him into doing her bidding, he wandered Rathnir, taking the cult of Entropy worshipers along with him to destroy those who opposed Entropy. The majority of these attacks would be carried out against the nation of Uldarash, more specifically the city of Fornost, which based the Order Of Aurora. These attacks would leave many casualties on both sides of the conflict. At multiple points the attacks would be focused on the Auroran government, leaving Theodore blinded in one eye, and Red Devil, Canines late wife, permanently crippled as she lost one of her arms and temporarily lost her eyesight as a whole. These attacks would finally come to a head as a massive attack on Fornost was staged, with the entirety of the Entropy cult attacking the city just outside the cities walls, and ending in a smaller scale raid on the city of Viodoxa. From here on Hub would go silent, staying at the Isles until Entropy was slain by Athaz and the rest of the anti Entropy coalition.

### **Rehabilitation**

With the death of Entropy, the corruption on Hubs body began to rot, a culmination of energy stored up from his time living above the void pit settling on the left half of his body, leaving him permanently scarred as it would rot away and regrow continuously, a mark of shame reminding him of his crimes in his time as Entropy's puppet. From here on Hub focused on controlling the magic left in his body, creating his own form of blood magic he would begin to call corruption magic, and learning to use void magic to strengthen his mind against any influence, be it from the void, or the horrid temptress that took his mind so long ago.

### **Frosterium**

After Hub had rehabilitated himself, he began to focus on nation leading again, creating The Magisterium as a nation he could base himself and expand his influence, to ensure protection of the void pit, and to limit the influence of those who still worshipped Entropy through his people. From here he began to grow fond of his people, seeing them almost like brothers and sisters. In an effort to protect his people, and to rid the continent he lived on of enemies, he began to reign with an iron fist, raising his blade toward anyone who threatened his people. When a member of the UBSR attacked a Magisterian town, Hub declared war on them, saying that he would rid Sparwood of those who threatened his citizens. When the UBSR merged with their neighbor Frosmyre in an attempt to protect themselves from The Magisterium, Hub proposed that Frosmyre and The Magisterium could merge to ensure that the UBSR never comes back, and to keep the continent they lived on united. From here on, Hub and the leader of Frosmyre, Calianna lead the Frosterium for the next few years until its eventual collapse as Hub realized his influence over the nation could threaten the continent if he somehow relapsed in the future, and he opted to give power to the leaders of Frosterian provinces, creating many successor states that would inhabit Sparwood from then on.

### **Isolationism**

With the collapse of The Frosterium Hub would return to his studies, mastering void and corruption magic (yeah I know how edgy that sounds), and learning to come to terms with what he did under Entropys influence. From here on he would attempt to atone for what he had done, apologizing to those that would listen. For now, Hub stays at the Isles and focuses on raising the daughter of his late friend Dmitrio Von Sturgeon, Portia.
