Subvert Dumeur

Subvert Dumeur currently resides mostly in the Kingdom of Majulah and the dukedom New Jvar in the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria. He is also the last of the 3 founders of the capital of Mexrncast, which is the capital city of The Second Kingdom of Yuvaria.

Early Life
Life in the Village of Duseir

Subvert was born on September 4, 1988, in the Village of Duseir of the Everglade Kingdom. He was born to 2 parents who were considered very odd and weird compared to everyone else. His parents Myrddin Dumeur and Yrneha Dumeur would always fantasize about the idea of leaving the village one day to travel the world seeing different people and grand sights while also eating different foods too. Many of the villagers would joke that their combined desire of traveling must've been what brought them both together in the first place.

Duseir Village was somewhat of an odd village, as it was a village in an environment that was a mix of spruce trees and large mushroom trees. The home in which Subvert and his family would live was a small yet humble mushroom cottage. The house's furniture was made up of fallen sticks, leaves of spruce trees, mushrooms, and any other objects that could be found in the environment. Subvert was a cheerful, mischievous yet crafty child who loved to play dirty pranks on his peers and adults alike. He would steal pies left beside windows to be cooled, move objects of a house around to confuse people, hell he even shaved the hair of the village chief once.

Despite the peaceful life in the village, it was no surprise that as the days went by both Subvert’s parent’s desire to adventure to another place would grow. Even their child would become influenced by their desire to venture into the world. Perhaps partially because of their desire to adventure, Subvert’s parents were both proud warriors of the village and knew a thing or two about combat. One day, they finally decided to approach the village’s chief to gain permission to leave. Unfortunately, the village chief would not approve of such a thing. When asked why the old man replied, “The reason we do not leave the village is because of an ancient legend which says, “a beshrew shall befall anyone and their kin who is't decides to leaveth this village.” Despite this warning from the elder, the family of 3 would be found missing from the village the following day. Leaving the village, Subvert and his parents would travel to different towns and landscapes occasionally fighting bandits on the route there. In between travelling to different towns, the family would occasionally take quests from the local Adventurer’s Guild to help pay for their adventuring fees. Despite all seeming to be going well for the family, elves are known for their dazzling looks, and usually never leave their homeland for foreign locations, thus they were prime targets in the eyes of criminals and slavers.

An Adventurer's Tragedy

Traveling between different towns and landscapes, the small family would often sleep in local inns of the towns they traveled through to rest, eat, and help plan their next destination the following day. They would then either leave town using a carriage, visit the local adventurer’s guild for quests, or do whatever they had planned the day before. On one particular day however, the trio would rent out a room in a fairly shady inn of which was in town. The inn seemed to be very run down and the entire building seemed as if it was more of an ancient ruin than an inn. As they entered the inn, Subvert's parents noticed that something was off about the inn. The other guests were whispering amongst themselves, casting furtive glances at the family. But they couldn't put their finger on what it was exactly. Perhaps it was just their imagination, they thought. That night, they were awoken by a loud banging on the door. Subvert's parents jumped out of bed, ready to defend themselves and their child. When they opened the door, they were met with a group of masked men, armed with swords and daggers. The family fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. Subvert's parents fell one by one, their bodies crumpling to the floor. Subvert himself was knocked unconscious and taken away.

When he came to, he was in a dark, damp cell. He didn't know how long he had been there, but it felt like days. The cell was small and cramped, with barely enough room for him to stand up. His head was pounding, and he felt dizzy and disoriented. He tried to call out for help, but his voice was hoarse and weak. There was no answer. He was alone. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Subvert was kept in the cell, barely given enough food and water to survive. He was beaten and abused by his captors, who wanted to break him and turn him into a slave. But Subvert was made of sterner stuff. He refused to give in, to let his spirit be broken. He spent his days plotting and planning his escape, using his cunning and intelligence to outsmart his captors. Finally, the day came when he saw his chance. The door to his cell was left unlocked, and he knew that this was his only opportunity to escape. He crept out of the cell, taking care not to make a sound. He made his way through the dark, twisting corridors of the dungeon, avoiding the guards, and traps that lay in his path. Finally, he burst out into the fresh air, his heart pounding with excitement and fear. He ran as fast as he could, not stopping until he was miles away from his captors.

A Prisoner's Freedom

Subvert was finally free, but he was alone and lost in a world that he didn't know. He had no idea if his parents were alive, where he was, or how he was going to survive. But he refused to give up. He was determined to make his way in the world, no matter what challenges lay ahead. He wandered for days, living off the land and sleeping in the open air. He encountered many dangers on his journey, from vicious wild animals to ruthless bandits. But he was quick-witted and resourceful, and he always managed to find a way to survive due to his cautious nature caused by his trauma. As he traveled, he came across many peculiar and odd experiences. In one of these odd experiences, Subvert was rummaging through an abandoned house in an old town seeing if he could find anything of value. Here he found an odd book titled The History of Riverglade. Not thinking much of it, he would take the book and decide to call it a day. However the next day, the entire town was not anywhere to be seen, which left him quite baffled.

Foundations of a Town
A Spark of New Friendship

Traveling through the arduous journey of the lands of Eldham, Subvert would be very wary and cautious of other individuals he encountered during his adventures through the lands. He would rarely stay at one location for long, never took marked paths, and was usually traveling by foot or carriage most of the time. However, despite Subvert's cautiousness he would be unexpectedly attacked by an unnaturally large group of goblins while traveling through the Valresh continent to the town of Shepton. The goblins numbered about 30-40 bodies, an amount that could still be defeated by a party of 3, but not by a lone, exhausted, novice swordsman with nothing but a dull short sword. Subvert would try to fight the goblins head on, surprisingly taking multiple goblins down before taking a poisonous dart to his thigh and becoming paralyzed. The goblins, having realized they had paralyzed their prey, began approaching the young elf. Would he be eaten? Would he be tortured and murdered? Would he be their entertainment? These were thoughts that had gone through the elf's mind as he believed his end was coming. Then an arrow struck the lead goblin. One arrow became 2, then 2 arrows became 3, 3 became 6, and 6 became 8. Someone had started attacking the goblins and clearly they had the surprise advantage against the goblins. Sadly the poison in the elf's body would take full effect, but not before he saw the silhouettes of 2 men fighting the goblins.

Day had become dark, Subvert would finally have awakened again to the same 2 men who fought the goblins. The 3 men were huddled around a campfire where one had been snoozing until Subvert woke while the other had been sharpening their long sword. Seeing as there was nothing he could do at the time and still being groggy from the effects of the goblin’s poison, Subvert decided to converse with the other 2 and realized that the path to the Capital of Shepton had become blocked due to a very large presence of goblins and that he pretty much walked right into the hornet's nest. Subvert learnt that the sleeping 2 men's name were ScrubADubbers who practiced the Ratism faith despite not being a rat himself, and the man who was sharpening the long sword's name was named Malo Rauva, a formerly influential Bardonian who left the lands of Rathnir in search of new opportunity in the Kingdom of Yuvaria (now the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria). Further into their conversation, they realized that they all had a similar goal of coming this far north east into Valresh which was to find a new home, one with potential one away from conflict, one with new opportunity. With this realization of the trio, they would go on to founding a small settlement right there where they camped which would later soon become the new capital of Yuvaria, the settlement of Mexrncast.

A Beacon of a New Community

Subvert, ScrubADubbers, and Malo worked tirelessly to establish the settlement of Mexrncast. They built houses, cleared land for farming, and they even managed to set up a marketplace to trade goods. Slowly but steadily, other travelers passing through the area became interested in the new life of the town and joined them in building the new town. As Mexrncast grew, so did its competition. In Yuvaria, there sat 2 other towns which were also growing attempting to become larger and more powerful then the other in the nation, the names of the 2 towns being Roantazor and Dovepove. King Ashey’s announcement of a town race to choose the nation’s new capital helped to fuel the fire of the 3 towns in this race. However, with good omens that come, bad omens follow close behind.

Shock, Rebellion, Greed
The ground shook, a rebellion had taken place in the nation spearheaded by the leaders of Roantazor. Subvert and ScrubADubbers had the genius idea of becoming spies for the king in order to learn of any information regarding the rebellion. While the duo would eventually learn of some critical information regarding the coup including its supporters and a foreign nation supporting it, it was all in vain as the rebels would eventually call the coup off and leave the country forever. Despite the fact that the coup had failed and the rebels had left, it would expose problems that had caused the rebellion to happen in the first place.

The Calm Before the Storm

The days that came following the events of the New Yuvarian Rebellion, Subvert would be raised to the position of the Minister of of Transportation briefly, before being assigned as the Minister of Diplomacy and later the Minister of Information and Media where Subvert would assist in the Yuvarian government's operations and create the Yuvarian Times (now the Yunrian Times). Subvert would also be present for the event of the founding of Yunria through the merger of Yuvaria and Grandia's colony Nathria, and later Mercury. However with his new set of responsibilities and people to protect, the young elf was in need of a viable source of money and while Subvert was occasionally gaining heaps of money through scavenging old ruins, it was not enough. This desperation for a source of viable cash led him to banditry of other people. Despite him turning to banditry, he would typically aim for those with bad reputations such as greedy merchants, mercenaries, and even other bandits. Perhaps a wandering spirit disliked the mischief caused by Subvert, and casted a curse, leading to a future of unfortunate events.

A Mongerer’s Demand

After a long day of managing daily affairs of Mexrncast, Subvert would sit on his balcony in his small home, sipping on herbal tea and reading the next issue of the Yunrian Times. This would all change on one particular day, Subvert was admiring the work he and the town folks had put into the town. The small town had overcome many odds, having survived conflicts both internal and external, and continued to rise farther than top as the nation’s capital. Subvert continued to take in the results of the dedication and hardwork he and his fellow townsmen had worked on, until he felt the feel of a gentle, yet sandly rough object of which had landed on his head. Taking the object into his hand, the object was some sort of letter addressed to the government of Yunria, sealed by a stamp of the Aureulite government. Opening the contents of thile letter would come to change him and Yunria.

21 Demand

The 21 demands were a long list of demands by the Aureulite governemnt which in essence, demanded outrageous terms against Yunria to force it to dissolve, become indebted to the Aureulite government, and become puppet nations of the Aureulite government l. These demands caused absolute chaos throughout Yunria. No one had anticipated Aureus making a move like this, and many knew that the threat of Aureus was no small one. During this period, Yunria became an absolute mess with the government trying one thing and another. Eventually, this led to a movement led by most of the government to vassalize under Uraka to gain protection from Aureus. Following these events, Subvert had grown tired of being involved in government affairs and decided to take a backseat in order to grow Mexrncast.

A Moment's Rest
Following the events of the Urakan vassalage, Subvert began focusing on repairing damage and making efforts to attract new individuals to Mexrncast. These efforts eventually saw the construction of important structures such as the Asteria flag tower and a large marketplace Mexrncast bazaar. It also saw the annexation of Asteria into Mexrnxast. Aside from his large involvement in the nation's capital, Subvert was rarely seen outside his town.

New Ideals and the Discovery of Bobby

With Uraka making Yunria it's vassal, King Ashey the First decided he no longer wished to rule the nation and with no successor, the nation formed to become a constitutional monarchy. In this new government, Subvert was once again pulled into a government position as one of the nation's diplomats. With his position, Subvert became once again became involved in the affairs of his nation, juggling between managing his town and his government position and while extremely difficult, he would persevere in both tasks. With Subvert's efforts, many foreign relations would became friendly and many treaties would be signed. Traveling between Yunria and foreign nations however was a difficult feat. At the time, teleportation magic was rare and few, forcing many who wished to travel far distances to take to nether highways, which while fast, were the hunting grounds of shady dealings and bandits. It was during one of his diplomatic travels through the nether, Subvert would discover Bobby a stridder which was quite the rare sight. Wardaddy would bring Bobby the stridder to Majulah after Subvert's return from his diplomatic journey. Despite the efforts, Subvert put into keeping peace and forming treaties, it would not be enough for fate had other plans.

The Beginning of the End, Collapse of Yunria

Winter of 122 TE (January 26, 2022), Aureus would declare war

The Discovery of Bobbie
On December 15, 2021 while traveling through the hellscapes of the nether looking for a bounty, he had discovered a strider stuck in a hole surrounded by basalt walls. Knowing that species like the striders had become near extinct, he secured the location of which the strider resided in and took down coordinates of the area. He later handed over these coordinates to Wardaddy who made a long journey to bring the strider to the Yunria. The strider was named Bobbie and currently resides at a small lava pool in Majulah mimicking the environment it had lived in.

Destruction of Yunria
Before the formation of the Third Ellysian Empire, Subvert had become tired of the drama and chaos the democracy system had brought to the country. Wanting to take a step back from the events, he resigned as the Minister of Diplomacy and as the Mayor of Mexrncast to finally take his mind off politics and take his long deserved retirement. This retirement did not last very long however, with the formation and then destruction of the Third Ellysian Empire causing a lot of civil unrest, destruction, loss in population, and loss of land in the country leaving the man questioning whether everything he had done was worth it.

Political Career
Soon after when The New Yuvarian Rebellion officially ended, Subvert was initially appointed as the Minister of transportation and then reappointed as the Minister of Information and Media the First Kingdom of Yuvaria. During the era of Yunria, Subvert spent time for a short while was made the Right Hand of king Malo Rauva when Yunria became a High Kingdom. When Yunria became a constitutional democracy, he was appointed as the official handler of a newspaper named The Yunrian Times. He published 3 different issues before being appointed the Minister of Diplomacy, 2 months afterwards. Subvert later resigned from as the Minister of Diplomacy as well on January 17, because of the extremely stressful situation at the time taking a toll on his mental health and appointed Larek645 as the temporary Minister of Diplomacy. At this same time, he also resigned as the Mayor of Mexrncast, and appointing tapnap05 into his position instead. In the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria, on July 22, 2022 during the coronation ceremony of the new king Lusvufer, Subvert was ennobled as one of the 4 dukes under the king and was assigned a large plot of land to oversee, which was later named as New Jvar.
