Dale Myer

Dale Myer was a well known merchant, politician, and Entitist in the earlier days of Askalar who is credited for most of the creation of Merka and the ruling of its citizens up until his death at the hands of Ragner Osluf .

## Background

Dale Myer was raised by his father near the south coast of the mainland in a fishing village. He learn to fish with the men from an early age but he soon started to learn how to fight with the village garrison. When he reached the age of 25, coastal raiders razed hell against his home, killing his father. He managed to survive but was left alone without a place to live in, he wandered around the region looking for work and a good place to call home.

## On Askalar

When finally arriving on the southern shores of Askalar Dale Myer and his workers set to work on a city not yet named just up from the river from Solitudinem and the oasis of Askalar. But he soon found himself face to face with a strange man, Jericho Bronte, who wanted to teach him and his workers about a religion they had only heard rumours of back on the mainland. They all took to the religion and its ways within the day, and once complete, the city of Merka was immediately given as the holy city of the Entitist religion and was declared a city state among all of Askalar, with Dale Myer as its mayor.

### Tenure as Mayor of Merka

Dale would faithfully serve the nation and its faith for many years, being present to welcome the rest of the Bronte family, Thomas Felder, and Ragner Osluf. Furthermore he is known for establishing good relations with the duchy of Kordon and even selling land in north Merka to lord Alfonso de Luna, his kordon relations would eventually backfire however majorly during the arrangement of the First Council of Merka, where him, Ragner Osluf, and a band of Merkan Mercenaries would participate in the defense during Sack of Kordolinska without the knowledge or permission of Jericho. This would sour relations during the Council, effectively ending the Council as a whole and providing nothing to the continent. Him and Osluf would go on to carry out many raids during the long absence of Jericho on the mainland.

## Death

Osluf would go on to eventually build a seperate city of the faith as well. Dale insisted to Osluf that the newly christened 'Qatal' would also need to pay taxes and tithes to Merka and Entitism as a whole. Dale would show up to Qatal himself where he would then demand proper payment from Qatal, this was unfortunately followed by the guards of Qatal cutting down the Mayor in his place and killing him then and there.

## Legacy

Upon the return of Jericho to Askalar and following the Marriage of Eris and Alfonso, Jericho would finally become aware of Dales death. Jericho chose to forgive Qatal and continue on relations with Osluf as friends. Merka, Dales city, would fall into the hands of Eris de Luna, giving claim of the city to House de Luna resulting in its official appropriation under the Duchy of Kordon.

Dale is not well remembered by people of Askalar today, and is rarely looked at in a good way by those who did know him.
