Rathnir Period
Ilkari was born In Rathnir in a little Village. Is an orphan raised by an old woman who tells him famous stories from the past, Ilkari was impressed by those stories and wanted to become a great man as those of the stories, so he started to study, he studied a lot from history to science even magic and was the magic to bring him to an unexpected path. He read about a magical alchemical stone that would give him Immortal life, and he needed it, because to achieve his goals he needed all the time possible. So He decided to start a journey in search of "The Shadow's Stone". His journey last for many months, crossing rivers and climbing mountains, but at the end he found it. Under a cathedral of some past era, in the depth of its Crypts he found it. A Purple Gemstone filled with unimaginable power. Ilkari felt an aura of great, dark and ancient magic and so He Touched it. An Explosion occured and the crypts and the cathedral collapsed on him, the Gem was destroyed but the powers contained in it were already absorbed by him. The Shadows Powers, the capability of walk in the shadow’s realm and Immortality are the most common manifestation of this Powers. Sadly, he was wrong this "Immortality" gave by "The Shadow's Stone" is more a curse than a blessing, the possessor of that power can’t die of age, but his body don't stop ageing and so he in a matter of time he would be condemned to become an Immortal mummy, a soul stucked in his withered body. In addition every time he uses his power he will age faster.

When He returned to the village, but in the meanwhile the old woman died and the rest of the people when they saw his capabilities decided to ban him. Ilkari was alone but determined to reach his final and ethernal goal and so he went in the new continent and start a new life.

Eldham Period
Ilkari sailed from Rathnir and he arrived in Eldham and he started a new life as a merchant, a wandering merchant. And he discovered to be so good at it, he became famous and worked with many big nations of that time. One day he travelled across a little Village in Mirau a peninsula in eastern Onthukhan. That little Village was called Isaz at the time composed just by some houses and an incomplete castle; near the village Ilkari found something very interesting, ruins of a Black Citadel. He could feel the power in it, he wanted to explore it and find the secrets that were inside that cursed place, so he decided to set up after years of travelling, he asked to the lords if he could set up a shop in their little village and they agree. He became an important member of the community of Isaz and of the unborn nation of Anglunia. During this time Ilkari was able to explore the Black Citadel and his crypts, and there he found a magical item the Old Tome of Morgrend, an evil and powerful magician/alchemist, who ruled over those territories in the past. Ilkari needed a cure of his curse, something that could save him from his horrible destiny and so he opened the Old Tome, but as happened in the past such Great Powers have always a price. In those old and ruined pages something was waiting underneath, for a long time. It was the Spirit of Morgrend Himself that avoided death by putting his own soul in the tome with the help of a dark and forgotten spell. He was waiting for a mortal to open those pages, waiting for his Revenge towards the same people who killed him in the past and stopped his reign, those people were the Yrsi (ice Elves) the same people that created the reign of Anglunia. The Evil Spirit stepped in Ilkari mind, but he wasn’t able to possess him entirely. After those events Ilkari was able to continue his life normally but the spirit of Morgrend was there in the depth of his mind. A demon voice in his head that gives him tips, terrible tips. But luckily for the first period nothing happened, andIlkari used the power of the old tome to heal himself.

AntiAngluniaCoaliton Period
Then Ilkari became rich, and he was finally ready to create his own city and so he asked the King to be able to rebuild the Black Citadel and make it an independent city allied with Anglunia, and he gave him his consent. And so Ilkari with the support of the king started to build his city, and for a period everything was fine. But sadly, and another city in Anglunia territory wanted to be independent, the city of Kodnor of SuperBibbles, for this reason the king/lords declared that all the cities/claims in Anglunia territory couldn’t be independent, even the Black Citadel. This was a problem for Ilkari's Plans, because he wanted to rule his new nation as he wanted, and he knew that in Anglunia, he would not have the power he needed. And even the fact that Ilkari was an old friend and a great member of Anglunia nothing changed that decision, Ilkari was even threatened by one of the lords Welpish to join the nation or it would be war.

Ilkari felt betrayed by his own friends, and was there that he had the possibility to talk about the situation with SuperBibbles both were scared by the possibility to be  annihilated. They didn’t have any chance to defend their claims and so they decided to wait, both would have joined Anglunia, but in the meanwhile they would work together to have their revenge, and so an Idea was born, the idea of a coalition, the AntiAngluniaCoalition, They would have put together army big enough to conquer Anglunia and have their revenge. It is not known whether it was madness or fear that led to this decision but is a fact that it would have changed history. But is sad thinking that if the lords would not have made that decision, Anglunia and Ilkari could have done great things together.

Both joined Anglunia, and the lords, to apologize with Ilkari, decided to let him join the council, but it was clear that after what happened, something was broken, Ilkari didn’t see them as friends anymore, they betrayed him. And so guided by the anger fumented by the Demon, Ilkari continued together with Bibbles in the creation of the Coalition. And so, they did, they started it. They started by sending messages to the neighbourhood nations, in search of allies, promising pieces of land and treasures. They also search allies in old enemies of Anglunia such us the old king of Andor Rand Al'Thor, a nation that was destroyed with the help of Anglunia, they find an ally also in Commodore_Rossa, practically the enemy number 1 of Anglunia for a long period of time, also in a bunch of warriors/bandits that were friends of Bibles, and they also have the help of a secret society the SSI, Ilkari was a member of it.

Ilkari and Bibbles decided to hide their own Identities, and for this they used masks, Ilkari became Mr X and Superbibbles MR Z, hiding their identities was inevitable if they wanted to achieve their goals, if Anglunia discovered them everything would be over. In one week, they were able to get an army of 50 warriors, with the support of 5 nations Lutum, Phoenia, Limuria, Regnum Drakaes and Vision Aeternae. And so, They also started to fortify their claims: the Black Citadel and Kodnor. And started to make plans for the invasion. The Coalition was guided by the Dark Council that was composed by Mr X (Ilkari), Mr Z (Bibbles), Commodore_Rossa(he named himself MR Y but never used that name during the coalition time), ChocoMJ (or PeakyMoney, he was the bandits leader), Rand Al'Thor (the old king of Andor), Badoglio (a member of the SSI and friend of Ilkari) and L_owo (or Lomany the Phoenia Chancellor, old friend of Ilkari).

The first actions of the coalition was sending insiders in anglunia and ChocoMJ himself, during this period they started stealing some horses and nothing else, but ChocoMJ decided alone, without the support of the council, to grief a basement in Isaz. Then arrived the time to organize the army, but sadly a spy was in the coaliton ranks. Ilkari was also in the council of Anglunia for this was able to be discover the identity of the spy, he was TheClarkyCat the ruler of Lutum, Ilkari ban him from the coalition and menace him. Sadly, the coalition was discovered and most of the members were already known by the council such as L_owo. Ilkari and Bibbles plans were shattered, the goal of planning the conquest in total secrecy was gone. They needed to act fast, find a solution for that mess. The coalition lost 2 allies that day Lutum (betrayed the coalition) and Limuria (that decided to go away). So, the army of 50 warriors was just a memory. During this time Anglunia was sure that Mr X was Commodore_Rossa, and this was what Ilkari wanted, in fact this was Commodore_Rossa job from the beginning driving suspicion away from Ilkari and Bibbles (is important to say that during this time the only members that know who Ilkari really was were just Bibles, L_OWO and Badoglio).

The Dark Council of the coalition decided to start a psychological warfare, MR X shown himeself to the Anglunia People, using his powers Ilkari disguised as Mr. X appeared in the middle of Isaz square threatening the lords, and then he disappeared. Then they started to put signs near Anglunia cities(with this kind of messages, check images below). They wrote a Speech that was made by MR X in Isaz's square (original Video that was broadcasted in Anglunia Discord). After this they tried everything to belittle the coalition, they called it the Coalition of Clowns (CoC), and started to improve their defence, from that moment became impossible for us to send more insiders. And so the coalition started to work at new plan with the resources that it had available, they decided to take Otgard Castle which was still under construction. Ilkari placed tnt under the castle to make it easier for the soldiers to get inside by creating a breach. At this time, 30 warriors composed the coalition army.

The plan: (the army would be divided into two, the blue army with the aim of distracting the opponent and the red army that would go up the river and strike from behind the castle, easily reaching the tnt and creating a breach. In this way we could easily conquer the castle)

Unfortunately, Ilkari with the idea of returning to the castle to fix the tnt placement, he forgets to remove his citizenship to the castle, that way no one could blame him in case they found the tnt. Then they found the tnt, and they were convinced that Ilkari was involved somehow in the coalition, (Mr X talked several times with the lords with letters and messages, and one of them, Prinobots discovered some similarities between Ilkari and MR X).

So, they sent warriors to the Black Citadel guided by JohnnyDJackson, in that occasion Ilkari decided to reveal his partecipation to the coalition by yelling “Long live to Mr X” and they know that he was involved in the coalition, but they didn’t know that Ilkari was MR X. They tried to kill him, but Ilkari was able to escape on his black tower and shoot them from above at the end they were forced to escape. At the end the time was arrived, the war was inevitable. The coalition worked together to fortify the Black Citadel and turn it in a fortress (check images) But at that point Ilkari had Doubts: “was everything I did was a mistake?“. And after that Ilkari was able to talk with JohnnyDJackson and he discovered how he understand how much he was blinded by the anger, blinded by that demon in his mind, He wanted to find a solution, I wanted to achieve peace. But then  Anglunia finally discovered that he was MR X and they wanted revenge, they wanted to crush him, Ilkari had ridiculed them, shown them weak in front of the rest of Eldham.

Then they also raided Phoenia and for this L_owo was forced to leave the coalition, Regnum Drakaes was discovered being an other spy and VIsion Aeternae never answer the call (they pratically didnt send their warriors).And so the changes of victory for the coalition were very small, and Ilkari wasn’t ready for a war, He was destroyed by the doubts and events, and didn’t believe in the coalition anymore.

Mr X And MR Z had a meeting with the lords and at the end the propose me a pact, I would be banned from Anglunia, but in change all my properties would remain intact (black citadel, shop). I did everything for that claim and the fact that they were not going to destroy it was a consolation. And so Ilkari accepted it, and signed the “Treaty of the Citadel”, after that he was banned from Anglunia, Bibbles (his participation was not discovered) hosted him in his isles.

The White Raven Kingdom (Kodnor) Period
Ilkari after the AntiAngluniaCoalition(or Clown War), moved in Onding (Bibles isles), capital of Kodnor, Vassal Nation of the Santos Empire. There, Ilkari worked hard, improving the nation and his relations by signing many treaties with foreigh lands. After Bibles downfall, by becaming the Mad King (he tried to give away kodnor nation to anglunia for free and not for an apparental reason) The King of Santos proclaimed Ilkari the governor of The White Raven Kingdom (the new name of Kodnor). Ilkari also take a part together with Santos to a brutal fight in help of Kaladina to win a battle against Markia, the battle was won and The White Raven Kingdom also acquired a new land that he eventually sold later on. Then Ilkari was forgiven by the newest king of Anglunia after he paid with a long period of hard labor in Nuwan Farm. Later on Ilkari will be forced to join Anglunia with his cities due to "upkeep" and financial issues after having left in a peaceful way Santos.

The Return to Anglunia
The White Raven Kingdom merged with Anglunia, and Ilkari became an Onsyr (Lord) of Onding and also of his old land The Black Citadel. He also became very active in to the politic life of Anglunia, even achieving great political roles in particular he became the first Xota (minister of war). Ilkari actively work in favor of Anglunia, and even work as a spy for this nation, spying on any possible threats to the nation. This was a long period of tranquillity for Ilkari, in which he completely forget about his big plans of conquering. But sadly slowly his mind began to waver; all started after the death of his benevolent King Ynower-Delas-Nuwan, The king that forgive him and gave him a chance of redemption. Due to the shock of that horrible event, those whispers returned and started to drive him crazy, He fought for decades the demon, but more the years passed more he became weaker, and start to disappear, no one saw him for months sometimes even years. He passed most of his time to find a cure to his curse, but nothing, But He always worked in favour of Anglunia, in particular during the return of the Lords spirit in Anglunia, in that occassion he reunited an army capable of fighting those demons and he won saving the dauther of the deceased king, But it was clear to everyone that he had lost his mind, he spent most of the time in the Black tower using black magic, then he spent most of the time outside his citadel drinking and talking about his coalition, and talking about his dream to create his own Empire, the Black Phoenix Empire, words of a drunk old man. At he end he failed to manage his own lands, and they took them from him, Onding management was given to and other Onsyr and the Black Citadel was left in ruins, and raiders griefed the citadel several times. Ilkari became paranoid and vindicative, and eventually decided to leave the nation, He asked an old friend hospitality in his city Novius Abbadon, and so he started to move to the new city, but in the meanwhile he was contacted by a group of terrorists that wanted to coup Anglunia, and Ilkari succumbed to the temptation and said that he would helped them, sadly spies discovered his betrayal and exiled him from Anglunia.

In search of salvation
Ilkari didnt have time anymore. he needed a cure, a cure for his body and mind, a cure for his madness, and at last he found it, in the library of Novius Abbadon he found hope. An old and damaged book that talks about a terrible curse, the vampirism, something long forgotten in the land of Eldham, in which the vampires are pratically extinct. But that was his only chance, his body was rotting, his mind was collapsing, he needed to find them, he needed to find those cursed creatures, and ask them to share their power with him. Is silly to see how in the point of view of a mad man a curse can be a blessing in his case. Ilkari started trvelling place to place in search of them; the first place he visited was Sylvania but there were no vampires there, people there told him to search in the old city of New Yoake "the land of vampires" is that how they called it. So he went in that cursed city and discovered that there vampires were long forgotten, there in a pub a man with a black hood went near an Ilkari after he listened that he was talking about vampirism. That guy told him to go in the flying city of Volas Lunam, the New and last Known city of the vampires, a last refuge for those damned souls. Ilkari started his last trip, would not have had the strength to search other places, He needed to find them or there would be no hope for him.

After Months he finally found the city of the damned and used his powers to get on it. By now at the end of his strength, he entered in the big rooms of the vampiric palace, asking loudly that he wanted to meet one of them, because he wanted to became a vampire, but no answers arrived. Now exhausted, he fell to the floor, and stayed there until he hears a voice "I dint Heard such a request as that, in a long time, You must be mad man". Ilkari stood up and he turned in the direction of the voice he had just heard. That day he met a powerful being an Hunter of Vampires that became himself a vampire to defeat his enemies Biuh the Forsvollr. Both were tormented souls both mad and they spent many time together, after the first meeting in Volas Lunam, in Biuh pocket dimension, a place out of time. In all those meeting one thing was clear both had a cracked mind both tried to trick the other both tried to comprehend each other, a powerful vampire being and cursed mad man doomed to die. At the end Biuh was convinced to turn Ilkari in a vampire, a corrected version of the Arrus Vampire, an Immortal, strong creature. Ilkari new immortality freed him from his previous curse and was free to use his Shadow Powers without limitations. And at last he was finally free from Morgrend Soul, in fact during the trasformation, the demon was thrown out of Ilkari's body, and probably left this world. But as we learned so far, great powers have their prices, at the end Biuh tricked Ilkari and cursed him with the Arrus malediction that linked his body to Biuh stealing Half of Ilkari powers and energy. But The Shadows Powers were already immense and this would not stop Ilkari any way. Probably That link ceased to exist after Biuh final death, but that isnt sure.

Newfound integrity
Ilkari was now free to do whatever he would have wanted to do. he Could finally accomplish his plans and move war towards everyone and finally create the Black Phoenix Empire, but now that his mind was free, he wanted Just remedy for his errors and come back in Anglunia to seek forgiveness. Probably he was too old too broken to be the man he always wanted to be, the conqueror he always dreamed, the man narrated in his Mother stories. But he lived an other life, he became a merchant, a builder, a politic and even a lord, his dream was changed he wanted maybe just to have a family, start his own house, have his heirs. So for decades he tried, he tried to return in Anglunia, but everytime the kings dint allow him to return, until the 197 SMP in which the lastest king of Anglunia let him return. Ilkari returned in Anglunia and started a new life.

The End (24/06/2023)
After all this time, Ilkari realised how pointless his entire existence had been, how he had been manipulated, how his mind had been subjugated. He realised that Anglunia was the cause of all his ills, the moment he had set foot on that corrupt soil, his fate had been sealed. the rulers of that land had used, controlled and subjugated him. Ilkari realised that the coalition had never been a mistake, he had been betrayed, threatened with destruction and exile, after all he had done for the nation at that time; his reaction, his revenge was right, but Ynower-Delas-Nuwan, it was he who had convinced him that he was in the wrong, it was he who had prevented him from fighting that day, from winning and conquering Anglunia, or succumbing, any future would have been better than the reality, between exile, lies and despair.

The revelation came to him when he discovered that his Black Tower had been permanently demolished and the islands of Onding, of which Ilkari was governor, had been razed to the ground.However, Ilkari was powerless, he could do nothing, he was alone, everything he had fought for was gone, so he wondered what meaning his entire existence had.

He could have stood and fought, attempted revenge, but he knew he would fail, he knew his last act would not bring glory, would not clear his name, would never become the man he wanted to be.He would be killed and there, in the great halls of the kingdom of Anglunia, he would see the grinning face of the king as he watched Ilkari's body slowly die. So Ilkari gave away everything he had and built his own tomb and then he fell into an eternal sleep, leaving this world.

Engraved in the crypt are these words, which are a prophecy, perhaps a promise, or perhaps just the delirium of an immortal madman: "Once a man, now a cursed beast torn by madness, a bringer of darkness, a master of shadows.

He was betrayed once and for centuries lies have prevented him from achieving his plans.

All his hatred is for Anglunia and the Nuwan dynasty, which made him a servant of the Yirsidan.

Now he has seen the Truth, but he is powerless and lost in his broken mind.

Only a call to war will bring him back to take his revenge.

He will bring Anglunia to dust, and then all Eldham will collapse.

Under the banner of his Never Born Empire, he will bring darkness to the whole world.

You must praise your God and hope that that day never comes, for the Lord of the Dark Tower will not be merciful to anyone"
