Mimek Bolodrav

"The future is bright!"

Mimek is the Ashannu of Hearthstone Yuldai, explorer, and a researcher trying to uncover mysteries of the world.

Far from home
Mimek comes from The End dimension, where he was raised in a city of endstone and purpur. He doesn't remember much of his childhood as most of his memories faded alongside his powers to teleport and freely cross dimensions. He was trapped on Rathnir with no way going home. He earned a living by stealing and selling items from abandoned cities.

The Boulder and a meteor
He found his way into Pedregal, where they praised The Boulder and believed that End Stone is holy and comes from heaven, which is The End dimension. He found something familiar in this strange place, and so he became a boulderist as an attempt to connect to his lost home.

One day he heard a voice and it asked for a sacrifice. Mimek gathered all kinds of rocks and presented them in front of the Pedregal's boulder. He then heard a booming noise and in front of him a meteor of End Stone crashed into the Pedregal's boulder. After the dust settled he came closer, paying no mind to the flames surrounding it. Upon touching the meteorite he heard whispers, telling him to slay a beast lurking in The End dimension. And so he started his research.

Visiting End
Mimek spent countless hours exploring and researching The End portals. One day, when visiting a portal in The Brittle Keep, he tripped and fell into it. Maybe through sheer luck or divine intervention, he passed to The End, The Heaven, his home. In the center of an island before him was a mighty dragon, and surrounding it were obsidian pillars. All his belongings were left in Rathnir and so he thought he was defenceless, but then he felt a spark of his power coming back. He managed to teleport some random items from Rathnir into his hands, such as wood, diamonds and eggs. The battle was long, but finally he slew the dragon. He was then forcibly teleported back to Rathnir. He then saw the egg disappear right from his hands. It is unknown to him whether it went back to The End dimension to hatch into a new dragon, or escaped and stayed in Rathnir.

Although his visit to The End was short, he kept a souvenir - The Dragon Head.

Boulderov's last High Councillor
During a conflict between government of Boulderov and province of Savernia, the High Councillor Panda planned a new government, and plotted to take over the current one. Mimek supported Panda’s ideas but was not completely convinced of the covert ways used. The rest of the High Councillors discovered the plot and exiled most of Panda’s supporters. Mimek was not one of them. During the chaos Savernia was granted independence, and soon after the rest of High Councillors resigned. They left Boulderov in hands of Mimek, who now had to stabilize the crumbling nation. Mimek declared himself the King of Boulderov, and assigned Ted as Regent - his second in command.

Life as the King of Boulderov
After the Boulderov crisis, the nation was in a sorry state. Massive population drop, loss of land, lack of ministers, lack of power. Mimek had to quickly learn how to manage the nation, or the newly created Kingdom of Boulderov will fall. Ted Hastings' help in these early days was invaluable, and his advice against some of Mimek’s more outrageous ideas avoided unnecessary chaos in the nation. After filling advisory seats, promoting citizens to Dukes of provinces, and populating the nation, Mimek could finally say that he did a great job, although he still thinks he could do much more for the nation. One Citizen Councillor piqued King Mimek of Boulderov's attention. Joan K. Baggins was a librarian, and immediately came up with splendid reforms, and even wrote the constitution of Boulderov. Because of that competence, he wanted to keep her in the government, but soon enough their relationship developed in a different way. On the 17 February 2022 Joan finally got married to King Mimek. Though they had been engaged for quite some time now, they decided to wait with the wedding until the royal throne room in Pedregal was finished. The construction of the throne room proofed to be quite the undertaking and took much longer than expected. They now have two children: Delta Bolodrav, Musty Bolodrav, and Anthousai Bolodrav

Ashannu of Hearthstone
After the dissolution of Second Empire of Uldarash, King Mimek and Queen Scotch Knight, along with their governments, decided to merge their two kingdoms into one nation - Hearthstone Union. As both governments were filled with people related to each other, this was a simple task. Soon enough, the name of Union wasn't enough to describe the success of the merge, and so it was decided that the nation will be renamed into Hearthstone Yuldai, meaning small Uldarash.

Life as the Ashannu of Hearthstone, despite being an independent and much larger nation, was easier than the one he led as the King. He had many people to advise, and support him. While he shut himself off in his basement in Pedregal, the world around him began to change without his notice. Ziemia grew to enormous sizes, his daughter Musty died and got revived, Joan got corrupted by an evil spirit of sorts, half the nation was infested by the Blue Seed's roots, along with other less and more important events.

This had to change, and so he once again took more active part in his nation.

Entropy's Messages
While Mimek was researching an End Portal in a Stronghold, he stumbled upon a trail of blood that led him to a strange sphere of condensed air. There he saw signs with unknown symbols written onto them. After closer inspection he identified them as a monoalphabetic cipher. He quickly deciphered it and dubbed the cipher "The Void Alphabet". Mimek asked knowledgeable Athaz if he knew anything about them, and it turned out that these messages were left by Entropy herself! The Traveller informed Mimek that there are supposed to be three sets of messages in Rathnir. As of today, Mimek has only found two.

The Boulder's Whisper
The prayers to The Boulder were heard. Mimek, received A Sign from Him, telling him to go venture to where it all started and ask for guidance. Mimek refused to clarify what that means. There they received two more Signs. Deciphering what those Signs meant and where do they lead them took a while, with few failed attempts, but eventually he arrived in the lands of Forest Gate, above The Unreachable Library. There he found a sphere, a boulder of primordial rock. The Boulder asked him to open it, but this task turned out to be near impossible. He prayed for many days, decorating its surroundings, and even setting up a house around the sphere, but he was powerless. Not knowing what to do next, during a rainfall by the Pedregal’s river he drank the Guardian Water and began fishing to clear up his head. With all those elements present that belong to Khanih Andesite Pax they sent out their helping hand in the form of a compass. It led Mimek to the Cathedral’s boulder. Upon stepping into the boulder, he felt hissurroundings shift and once again he arrived at the primordial sphere. It has opened before him accompanied by thunderous strikes, although the opening was tiny. Crawling inside he found a peculiar block, indestructible like its shell with glimmering buttons on its side. He put upon it the compass and felt the need to see the Cathedral’s boulder once more. Inside the boulder was the most holy book. Its aura was oozing with the power of The Boulder and The Four Golems. Its pages were empty, impatiently craving to be filled with the truth that The Boulder shared with us. Over the course of few weeks Mimek spent days and nights filling them with everything he learnt and even filling them with something he didn't, like The Boulder was guiding his hands. And so the holiest book was called The Boulder's Whisper.

Unreachable Library
After completing the quest that The Boulder bestowed upon him, he wondered what one of the places that were mentioned in the clues, the “Unreachable Library” was. Upon closer inspection he realised that it was a large bunker made of primordial rock without even tiniest entrance into it, hence the name – Unreachable Library. He accepted the challenge! Mimek already broke into The End and killed the beast lurking in it, so breaking into a box surely would be easy. Oh, how wrong he was. The primordial rock, as everyone knows, is unbreakable in itself, but there was a powerful spell cast upon the immediate area around the bunker, not allowing any changes to happen to it. Seemed like the magic of Elsad Stone Jag. After days spent on planning, researching, and exploring he finally thought of one single possible method to break in (which Mimek didn't share).

Inside were countless books and riches, but to his disappointment the spell also affected those! Mimek felt taunted by the open books laying on the lecterns, knowing full well he was not able to read them as they were undecipherable. He managed to pull a disk out of a jukebox standing in the corner though. Inside he met the messenger of the gods himself, Stoney Stoner. Mimek decided to be his roommate.
