Ian Ninjarian was the Mayor of the peaceful town of Port-Solanaria in present-day Bardonia

Pre-Rathnir
Ian Ninjarian was born and raised in the capital city of a small nation far south of Rathnir called Epros with his sister and brothers. But during his late teens, the threat of war was higher than ever so Ian took it upon himself to protect his family and country and joined the local militia. This decision would lead Ian to participate in his nation's many civil wars, conflicts, and The Great War which would result in the total collapse of the nation. This event would lead Ian to flee north to Rathnir for a more peaceful life.

Rathnir/Bardonia
After fleeing north to Rathnir Ian would travel through dark forests, deep oceans, and large cities and towns until he came across the Empire of Bardonia and would settle in the town of Port Solanaria and welcome the religion: Turberism into his life. A couple of months after becoming a citizen of Port Solanaria, Ian voted in a town vote on whether the citizens favored independence from the Empire or not. Ian voted for independence and even supported it in public but the higher-ups of the Empire didn't like that this potato-farming town wanted independence so they stated all who publicly supported the independence were now fugitives of the Empire of Bardonia. The now fugitive, Ian Ninjarian was immediately contacted by one of the leaders of Port Solanaria about needing to head to Not-Venice to remain safe until this died down. Ian for the next few years lived in total seclusion from the outside world until he was able to head back home and gain an apartment in Port Solanaria.

After many months of living a peaceful life, Ian found out that Bardonia will be supporting Baronov in their war against Seaside and decided that he must serve his country just like he did for Epros all those years ago. During the months of training in the Dandelion Guard, Ian learned that some idiots declared independence in the town of Galations which he would also have to fight in the same week as the battle against Seaside. The following week, Ian was sent word that the Dandelion Guard was to head for Baronov and prepare for the war. Ian put on his armor, sheathed his weapons, and walked through the violet nether portal to meet up with the Guard. But Ian was unable to meet up with the rest of the Guard on time due to Ian being ambushed by Nether Demons, slowed down by the dark murky soul sand valley and the rocky terrain of the basalt delta. But finally, Ian was able to reach the portal to Baronov and entered the battle mid-way, and decided to follow the order to invade Seaside while mercenaries hired by Seaside were distracted in the streets of Baronov. This order led to the winning of the civil war between Baronov and Seaside, fixing the once-broken nation of Seaside-Baronov and putting Nik907 in the place of St.Acol in the leadership of Seaside. During this battle, the Nation/Town of Galations folded upon itself ending the war between it and Bardonia before it ever began.

The month following Ian was sent news that there would be a coronation in Andorn so Ian prepared his things and traveled to the country. Once Ian got to Andorn, he met a few attendees and had chats about the current state of the Empire with them until the coronation began. Ian along with some others walked into the looming stone church and took their seats. As the Coronation began a little raven flew through a window and dropped a letter to Ian and flew back through the window. Ian read the letter which stated that all military personnel was to go to the Capital and enter the Throne room. Ian however stuffed the letter into his satchel and watched as the Coronation took a surprising twist as an announcement was made across the empire "Today with the removal of Emperor Lucius von Savras we remind the world this is a sign of strength. The Military Order of the Black Dandelion is the successor to the 4th Bardonian Empire we will uphold all treaties and alliances that were held by the 4th Empire. Today is a glorious day for the people of Syltor. Our strong new state to defend its people and its beliefs. With me Chancellor Duke Azael as the head of the Black Dandelion Party we are entering a new age of stability and prosperity for Syltor, thanks to the loyal work of the Inquisition led by Ivoras’s Chosen Yazov, peace will be restored. However, it is my pleasure to inform the world that Ryzan will be staying with us as part of the family. The Black Dandelion gives its thanks to Tsarina of Ryzan: Tsarina Shan Yazovichova. Long Live The Military Order,  The Chancellor Provides   May the Black Dandelions mark all those who oppose us."

This had changed everything...

The Military Order of the Black Dandelion
The first move the new MOBD played was immediately helping in the Andorn coup, minutes after their coup so that they would have a firm grip on the nation and the order as a whole. This made Ian have second thoughts about all of this but Ian just decided to escape the chaotic nation and go back to his peaceful town of Port-Solanaria. The following month would be just as bad as that day... The Third Andorn crisis happened during the week after the coup leaving those who supported MOBD and those who did not to start an all-out civil war. While this happened representatives from Andorn and Ryzan met with the Chancellor to see if they could trust this new government. Sadly Andorn and Ryzan got off on the wrong foot with the MOBD so 2 weeks later Ryzan declared its independence from the MOBD. Andorn followed suit along with The Free City of Orenia, the Domain of Wivamovia, The Grand Duchy of Savras, Ostia, Avondale, etc.

Ian watched as the MOBD crumbled apart after just one month so he came up with an idea. This idea was to bring back the independence idea from all those years ago. After a while, Ian made the announcement 'My Fellow Potatoes I might not be a politician or a well-known man but I am a citizen. A citizen of this fine town who has seen the horrors of the MOBD, who wishes to bring this town and its people together so that we could build something greater than a town or a city but a nation. A nation of happiness, peace, and potatoes. Now I know this idea was put forth to us two months ago but I think now is the time to think about this one more time. After all, look at MOBD. It is losing its provinces left and right after one singular day. So I thought let's follow along with the others and DECLARE INDEPENDENCE! If you don’t want to follow along with this, that's fine I or anyone else won’t force you. That is all. Signed, Ian Ninjarian ' The next day two citizens walked up to Ian saying that his idea was incredible and that it should be put into effect but Ian stated that they would have to wait for all the elders to agree to the idea. This, however, would not be the case as only one of the elders, a somewhat friend of Ian's supported the cause but all the others disapproved of it and instead, one of them struck a deal with the Chancellor to get some more land to expand the province. And almost immediately after the deal was made the MOBD collapsed and the Bardonian State was born...

The Bardonian State
For the next couple of weeks, Ian would live a peaceful life of farming, mining, and gathering resources for the town and himself. But sadly, peaceful life is something Ian could never have. So one day while Ian was farming a little owl swooped down and dropped the newspaper next to Ian and flew off. Ian picked up the paper and read the first page only to immediately tear it up and throw it aside. This rage was because apparently, a squatter nation claimed that a Solanarian island was theirs and an entirely different nation claimed it was theirs as well. Ian walked off towards his house and saw many of the citizens had gotten the news and every one of them was furious.

The next day Lnedible made an announcement stating that he will solve this issue with peaceful means but sadly negotiations broke down and the town was scammed into apparently buying an entirely different island. Lnedible then stated the next week that he will try diplomacy but warned the town to assume that they were in a state of war so they had to barricade their valuables, never leave the city walls unless it was absolutely necessary, and wear armor or protection at all times. During this time of tension, Lnedible had been training new sheriffs such as Russia and Ian to better prepare the city when an inevitable attack happened. Also during this time, the islands were officially named Tubultra and Tubernor so that the town could better hammer the truth of the situation. As tensions rose the nation of Malrya who had originally claimed that Tubultra and Tubernor were theirs "sold" the islands to the squatter nation of Romash for less than they scammed Port-Solanaria. This angered the city to such a degree as to want war upon Romash but even if they wanted war the Bardonian government thought the islands weren't worth a dime so they just handed the islands to Romash. This angered the citizens so much that the Elder Potatoes got together and decided to declare independence from the Bardonian state which was allowed by Bardonia. This was the birth of Virolia...

Virolia
The first couple of weeks of Virolia were prosperous for the new nation as the government, flag, and economy were created. Virolia would be a Unitary parliamentary democratic nation with the beliefs that all farmland will be the property of the people/Government, Citizens can have private businesses and property (housing), No Military Police, and A strongly organized militia that can protect the town, and work as a police force, National Society over a liberal one, A democratic system, Pro unions, and worker rights, Freedom of speech, Uncensored press, Pro-trade, All food crops are free for the people, Citizens who cannot afford a home get free public housing, and Freedom of religion.

Throughout the next couple of weeks, Ian mined, farmed, and trained all for the protection and wellbeing of his nation. As the government was just starting to form Apps and the mayor of Virothen; Lord Cyrus discussed who would fill the roles in the government and decided that Ian should become the Prime Minister and second in command of the country. Ian accepted office and also decided to move to Virothen because tensions were rising back at Port Solanaria because of the mayor. Ian would later on help decide who would be on the MPA or Ministry of Public Affairs committee council and who would be the MPA military advisor. For a time the small nation entered its first age of peace but as always this would not be for long as the mayor of Port Solanaria; Erian Seiz wasn't fond of the idea that his province gained independence without his say in the matter.

So Erian decided to forcibly without any say from the people bring the province back to Bardonia and forget all of this independence nonsense. This however had the exact opposite effect and caused the people to riot in the city with leading figures such as Lnedible and Apps. Erian and any loyal guardsmen bunkered down in the town hall for days and weeks as the Virolian Loyalists pressured on outside. Erian inside the town hall declared war against Virolia in hopes that it would start a civil war but nothing truly happened other than Bardonia supporting Erian in the crisis. And so under intense pressure, Lnedible gave up the country and land back to Bardonia for the last time much to the people's sadness. Bardonia would be at peace for those next few years, but that would not be for long...

The Imperium
Bardonia had been at peace for some time so no one ever expected something major to happen but as always they were wrong. On a warm spring day, an owl gave Ian a piece of parchment while he was sketching the view from the walls of Port-Solanaria. It stated that the Second Empire of Uldarash had collapsed into chaos. Uldarash had been Bardonia's main rival for so long that many thought they would both survive til the end of the world but now only Bardonia remains without a rival to call their own so the government on the next day announced that Bardonia would be the successor of Uldarash and continue its legacy. Bardonia was now known as The Third Empire of Uldarash but this name would not stick for long as months later Bardonia and the Soleannan Imperium would unite and reorganize into the Imperium.

The Imperium was now the most powerful and largest nation in all of Rathnir and a large political superpower as well. The immediate reaction from some towns was rebellion and revolution but surprisingly Port-Solanaria was not one of them and so in a couple of days all the rebellions were put down and some level of peace was put upon this new global superpower. But what was not helping in the Imperium's situation of reorganizing itself was most of Rathnir thinking of the Imperium as a dictatorial regime (like the Galactic Empire in Star Wars) which to be fair even the citizens and government were embracing that fact in propaganda and other things. A year or so went by and nothing much happened other than some small rebellions here and there so in a way the Imperium was doing very well along with Port-Solanaria which was having a very peaceful time until Ian was asked to help in an assassination plot against the Elders...

Ian Ninjarian was approached by his very good friend, Apps. Apps asked Ian whether or not he would like to do some 'minor' terrorism to which Ian agrees and asks what he is going to do. Apps responded by saying that Ian was to detonate a bomb under the meeting hall to kill off Lnedible and Erian however Ian told Apps that he did not have the resources to make the bomb and perhaps not even the time to make it to the detonating. Apps assured him that it would be alright and everything is going to go to plan. This would most certainly not be the case. The day of the assassination came and Ian was unable to get there to detonate the bomb so one of Ian's friends who was also in on the plot, JJ detonated the bomb instead but it did not cause the damage intended and only succeeded in wounding Lnedible and causing JJ to be arrested and promptly executed on the charges of terrorism... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqM5-r2aRxQ Video of execution if you are interested in watching)

Ian for the next couple of weeks would mourn his friend's death but once he was back to normal he decided to take a vacation to the small country known as the Vostok Republika that he had visited prior and had become a citizen and soldier for the nation. After around 3 years, Ian returned to Port-Solanaria and was contacted by Apps about a secret revolutionary organization that he wanted Ian to be a part of. Ian accepted and joined the PRA and would down the line become the assassin for the PRA, become the propaganda creator, and be tasked with creating a separate sister organization in another part of the Imperium...

It was a warm spring day and Ian was busy mining and farming. While crafting some weapons in his house, Ian felt the earth beneath his feet begin to shake. Ian then looked out his window and noticed that a strange storm had covered the once-bright sky as soon as the storm appeared a voice boomed across the world calling upon people that wanted wealth and riches to come to it. The voice then granted everyone in the world experience so they could enchant their weapons and items to assist all of Rathnir to prepare for war and told them that Rathnir and Eldham would soon fall and war would come. Ian did not know yet but that voice was the voice of The Goddess of War, Segra...

For those next 2 weeks, Ian forged a new weapon, his now infamous Scythe for the great defense of Tortuga from Segra and her army which after many trials and tribulations resulted in a hard-won victory. During that night, Ian would party and drink with the Tortugans like never before but however, but due to Segra, the night was now never-ending shrouding the world in darkness as she attacks cities and nations across Rathnir.

A year would fly by as Segra and her demonic cult ravaged Rathnir and Eldham but that was in the background for this year would be one of the few times Port Solanaria would hold a Mayoral Election. Ian with a sense of Pride and Nationalism decided to campaign for Mayor promising to make the great town rich in new beautiful architecture, a lot of money, and bring in new citizens to expand the town into a respectable city. Ian would run against Lnedible and Erian Seiz in the Election.

After a few months, the results were in and Ian had won in a landslide! However, the former mayor, Erian Seiz had called for a town-wide lock-down and declared that Jorgel, Ian, Laythe, Bleu, and Lnedible were Beetroot worshipping heretics and that they were to be hunted down and if any citizens knew of their location they would be handsomely rewarded. Of course, this was a move on behalf of Erian to keep the mayoral power to himself for longer and longer and to kill his political opponents, Ian knew this as much as anyone that knew the former Mayor well enough.

For the next year and a half, Ian along with the Elders and any loyal guardsmen fought tooth and nail against Erian's regime. Months deep into the Civil War the Resistance was losing numbers fast as both Lnedible and Jorgel had been captured, Laythe had fled under the cover of night, and many loyal guardsmen had lost their life. Ian in a desperate move decided to train what was left of the Resistance in Eprosian Guerilla War Tactics. This move was revolutionary for the resistance as now they can kill twice as many men with these tactics.
