## **Autobiography**

**My name is** **Francesco del Rosario,** Resident of **Imperio de Dalmasca**. Son of **Imperator de Dalmasca Florian del Rosario** and **Imperatrix de Dalmasca Zia del Rosario**, older brother of **Christopher del Rosario**.

As a child I studied in many fields, exceeding in all. Later in life I became a Diplomat, Councillor, Chancelor, Writer, Publisher, and much more about which you will find further down.

## **From Vakiya to Dalmasca...**

Francesco was born in the now-lost **Dutchy of Vakiya**, in the **port city of Dalmasca**. Son of his back then not so ordinary merchant Florian del Rosario, head of the Rosario family’s merchant enterprises. Recalling only a few distant memories of his childhood, Vakiya was a prosperous nation and a fairly strong military power. From early childhood, he took an interest in books, politics, and swords, reading as early as 4 and training in the latter two fields as young as 5. Arrangements would be made for him to join the prestigeous Golden University at a very early age, however, things wouldn't play out so well.

#### The Trek across the waves

As Francesco turned 6 years old, Vakiya met its end. Under the siege of the Avacolans and with a deadly plague running deep inside the entire nation, first the capital, Valthar, was taken, and soon the entire nation fell to its knees. A small fleet of only 11 merchant vessels would escape the island through the port city of Dalmasca.

After completely losing their sense of location thanks to the endless attempts to lose the Avacolan fleet, the Gilded Rose Company and the Iron Shields would spend 4 months at sea until finally spotting birds. They landed on a tundra, but the land was too cold. Not only that, they found the land was inhabited by green-skinned creatures that were too hostile, resulting in their camp being torched and one of the ships being ablazed, so they settled on a journey yet again, this time with a direction, south.

Continuing the trek, they soon landed near icebergs, a bit too many icebergs, so a scout group was sent, led by [insert name here], to find if the way was suitable for the ships. Soon they returned with promising results, and thus the trek went on. While going south, many reported seeing magical creatures, and the nightcaptains even said they were guided by a will-o-wisp to a less icy path. After crossing narrow rivers, huge icebergs, and a sea, they finally found a suitable place to settle, a small peninsula they called Raban. Now on which resides the **Blooming city of Rabanastre**.

This 4-month journey and what happened before in Vakiya left an impact on Francesco.

## **El Reino de Dalmasca**

As they settled down on the peninsula many hardships were faced. This foreign land was indeed inhabited by humans too, to the south a ruined pyramid which the people called Sudraban, and to the west a small island in the middle of a lake, Tchita, inhabited by locals who were so keen on winning their endless war with goblins that they forged an agreement to join the Vakiyans in their future journeys, if given help. Speaking of goblins, they would firecly fight for every bit of land, but eventually be driven out of the isles, and out of the surrounding region.

#### Hardships on the local isles

Francesco would work hard helping his people build the new capital. Compared to the others he lived alone in a cramped shack, fairly isolated. Refusing any help himself since 6 and a half, he'd work hard to find his own food, fishing, foraging, hunting and developing skills in building, writing while also studying as much as possible thanks to the few books some had kept with them on the trek.

### **Teenage years**

As he grew older, his brother decided to move and live with him, although until their new house was built, more so as a neighbour. As he'd studied all the books brought from start to finish and memorized them, Francesco would go on to do experiments in hopes of learning more biology, be it on the local produce or the goblins, geography, exploring the region, or even farther! Francesco would go so far as to write down stories from the trek to put them in a book now known as [hehe iw release it soon]. In that time, he'd see the rebuilding of the capital, although this time, far busier with his studies, he wouldn't help as much. Soon his new house was built, and thus he moved to live there with his brother.

Francesco would seek more knowledge and wisdom, and would form a fairly radical political view, leading to him finding out about the secret society of **The Division** and joining them. Seeing people share similar goals and interests, he would work his way up the ladder with time.

#### The Rangers

**The Avalor Rangers**, a somewhat secrative military organization located on the North side of the **Northern Mark** which pledged to defend Avalor at all costs. Upon Francesco discovering the rumors about them setting a castle north from Dalmasca, and even norther from the Raban's Reach Sea he would immideatly embark on a lonely and dangerous journey across the waves, however, be it luck or fate the weather would calm and he would even hear a voice guide him from time to time, like in the stories of the night captains.

Upon reaching lands, he would begin a search and after 5 days find their camp. There he would meet the leadership and find a lot in common with the people, sharing somewhat similar views, and although not entirely a deep respect would brew between them. Francesco thus had made a secret deal with one member of the High Command, **chieftain Silmar**, and had agreed to supply the place they planned to build up and call **The Northern Citadel** with materials, weapons and armor.

### **The Journey of a politician**

As Francesco grew older, so did his interest in politics. After the spy incident, he'd been allowed by his father to go conduct diplomacy on behalf of Dalmasca with their western neighbor, **The Azuma Sovereignty**, a strong regional power notorious for being isolationist.

His mission would be to get on their better side and acquire some type of cooperation between the nations in dealing with foreign spies. This mission would be a success, planting the seeds of a strong bond between the two nations for the future.

Not long after, the Barbarians of Bullfrog would harass Dalmascan citizens, scamming them and trying to follow them into their houses. This would result in an uproar from the people, who wanted to take revenge for what Bullfrog's barbarians had done. Thus, Francesco was once again sent on a diplomatic mission, this time to set up a meeting between the three nations of their region. Dalmasca, Azuma, and Oori. After a short meeting, they agreed, and thus the North-Eastern Community was established, something that would grow into **The Floral Federation.**

#### The Uprooting Agreement

Lets go a bit back in time. The North-Eastern community would all unite under the goal of taking down Bullfrog, however, their relations weren't yet so close to form an alliance or even federation, so Francesco proposed an embargo. As Bullfrog was surrounded by the three states, this embargo would cut off all trade they might ever have, weakening them severely. As leaders discussed it, they finally came to an agreement, thus posing in front of the Azuman Castle and singing off this historic document known as **The Uprooting Agreement**. Although it wouldn't only ban trade, but expose the deeds of the Bullfrog Barbarians to the international community, the interactions leading up to and after this would shape the future of the region.

#### Politics at home and abroad

As Francesco returned home from all the meetings, he was greeted with the new capital, however, what he saw he did not like. The city had some roads and houses, but it was nowhere as beautiful as the Vakiyan capital, Valthar, to which he had traveled with his parents. Inspired, he'd start decorating the city streets, adding redstone, which would give them speed. He would also focus on the city as a whole, creating parks and beautifying existing ones.

While that was happening, **The Second Gilded Council** was elected, and thus Francesco became an assistant to his brother in the diplomatic field, as he still had something in the North-Eastern community to take care of. Most notably, although a bit too early per Francesco's opinion, his brother had proposed alliances between the NE nations, thus strengthening them even more, and soon after, although a bit too yet early again as per Francesco's opinion, his brother would propose the creation of **The Floral Federation**. After many discussions, it would be signed, although Francesco wouldn't be able to attend as at that time he was preoccupied with beautifying their capital.

As the term came to an end, pushed by his brother Francesco, he ran for the role of infrastructure councilor. Facing absolutely no opposition, he would be chosen by the people with very high support.

At that time, he would also start to become a noticeable member of **The Division**, being assigned to a special facility named [It is not yet time to know] for keeping track of information and records.

#### **Turmoil of the North**

"*Speaking of goblins, they would firecly fight for every bit of land, but eventually be driven out of the isles*"...

The goblins came back, and with reinforcements - orcs. On the north a sizable army of Goblins and Orcs would appear, treathening the entire Floral Federation and even the Northern Mark region. Francesco at those times was preocupied with the division and managing his new facility, thus being unable to participate, nor see. However, he heard, and it came to his knowedge that The Rangers and volunteers from all around the world had supported Dalmasca and its allies against the army of mobs, even using new advanced weaponary.

Francesco was very happy upon hearing those news, but he had to keep it in his mind and make a visit to the Northern Citadel once he was done taking care of the facility, it was just the fact that the Division had been testing out goblins for months now to use as armies, and the news spreading about goblins being defeated, although ones not involved with the Division, such news weren't taken good between the other members

#### **The Third Gilded Council**

This time, Francesco would cut himself off from any official involvement in diplomacy, although he would still take part in meetings and discussions in the Floral Federation. As the new Infrastructure Councillor, Francesco would immediately begin work to connect the by far isolated souther city of Lea Praeda. In the meantime, he would add redstone to all roads in the capital. Soon as those projects were finished, he would have to take a pause because of a virus, likely caught while swimming in the isolated water body under the road to Lea. In that time, he worked more on bureaucracy, passing laws to strengthen the security of the nation, forcing pre-build plans for new cities to form in Dalmasca, and the DPIC, The Dalmascan Postal-Indentification Code.

    As those laws were passed, his time was running short of these elections, however, he started feeling better, and the work on roads was continued. The time, however, was not enough, and so he was only able to lay down the redstone bases of new roads in the capital, Pangoza, Solis, and Selora.

The term had ended, and Francesco re-ran, as with the resent laws and many new ideas, he had a bigger list than ever of tasks to achieve and finish, so he was elected once again as Infrastructure Councillor.

#### **The Fourth Gilded Council**

A period known well with change, this would be the last council following which will come the Dalmascan reforms that would turn the Gilded Council into the Ambrosian Senate.

Francesco would finally achieve his goals connecting the entire country by road. First going through Pangoza and Solis, and then to Selora, which would be his biggest project yet. Selora would prove to be such a massive project 60% of his time as a councillor was taken there, while that, he would also focus building more roads in Rabanastre and making all roads redstoned. In the meantime however, changes occured internally in the HoG. Christopher, his brother, would resign from the position of Councilor, and give the role to Francesco for the second half of the Fourth Gilded Council. Francesco, however, wouldn't do much with it due to the massive ammount of time and energy spent in Selora, however, he would be able to propose and pass a bill for more banners in the nation.

While and even before that was happening, Francesco would enter into more discussions with his father and the Viceroy - **Holy de la Médula**, and would help structure the new Ambrosian senate, and work hard with his father to refine the Dalmascan reforms, leading to the creation of the Radio Tower in Rabanastre, which he would be able to equip with the best technology of the time, thanks to his association with The Division.

As a result, Francesco would start to question the ambitions and capabilities of the Division, thus also questioning his radical view, which now seemed more like a child's misunderstood dream, rather than a logical perspective forged by facts and circumstances, specifically following **The Southern Raid** of **Facility B**, and **The Invasion of Centonia**, which saw brave soldiers from all across Avalor joining together and fighting. While the latter was promoted as a total success with bare resistance by The Division, his access to inside intelligence would reveal records that would otherwise seem completely fictional, making him further question the intentions of **The Director**.

#### **The First Ambrosian Senate**

As the Fourth Gilded Council's term ended, the nation found a lack of people running to become a councilor, this and a few other things prompted El Rey Florian to change the structure of the inner government. This change not only replaced the Guilded Council with the Ambrosian senate but also affected many other parts of the political structure such as the creation of the Crimson Court, Councilor of Diplomacy being removed, etc.

Francesco knew about this as he worked closely with his father, and Holy de la Médula exactly on those previousely mentioned changes, but that wasn't the reason for him being elected as the senator for infrastructure, trough his endless efforts and overwatch the infrastructure was so top-notch that no other country in the world could compare, and Dalmasca's roads began getting recognized for being "*light as day, even at night*".

Not only was he chosen in office for that role again, tho this time as a Senator, he was yet again Chancellor. He would always find issues to tackle and work to be done. In that meantime he would stronly consider leaving The Division, and upon hearing about the Director's hearth attack and prompt abbdication, Francesco would completely brake off ties with any Divisionist loyalists. Understanding his mistake in blindly putting his trust at a young age he decided to fully commit himself to Dalmasca, and at what better time? Because a few days after an internal vote would be held and **Imperio de Dalmasca would be proclaimed.**

## **Imperio de Dalmasca**

### New opportunities

#### The new-old senate

The First Ambrosian senate would now serve Imperio de Dalmasca. In that time Francesco would... (the story reaches present times here, lets see what will happen!)
