Blackleaf

Jovin Blackleaf (IGN: Dr_Blackleaf ) was a former noble of the Ethnocratic State of Vulpinia on Eldham. He acted as the nation's head brewmaster but has recently refocused his attention to his role as a patron of Zerdeus. Blackleaf first joined Eldham on May 29th, 2021.

Early Life
Jovin Blackleaf was born in the northern reaches of Eldham to a small tribe of nomadic Vuls. From a young age, he was instilled with a sense of wonderment and curiosity by his parents and when he came of age he set off into the wilds of Eldham hoping to leave his mark on the world. Along his journeys he met another Vul from a different tribe by the name of TheSkilledFox. Together, the two established the town of Brownwich in the central forests of Eldham.

Founding of Stalis
He founded the nation of Stalis the same day and was contacted by Rando_Xen, a member of Vulpinia, soon after. After a couple weeks however, Blackleaf disbanded Stalis and joined the nation to his south, Vulpinia, founding the towns of New Brownwich and Goldfell.

Arrival in Tildivul and Ordination
Upon arrival in the capital city of Tildivul, Blackleaf quickly made good friends with a majority of the nation's elite, most noteably Rando_Xen and UnusualShiba. Blackleaf quickly established his first bar, the Drunkard's Burrow, and soon after concocted a new exclusive brew known as Vulpan Gold Lager. Over many weeks, Blackleaf continued to gain notoriety before he was appointed as a noble due to his material wealth and later ordained as a priest by CaptainWesteros.

Disappearance
On August 25th, 2021, while fishing near his temple Blackleaf mysteriously disappeared without a trace and was presumed dead by the citizens of the nation. His home was left untouched as a historical artifact, but his bar and brewery were gifted to a newcomer by the name of BeastlyBrock.

Reappearance
As time passed Blackleaf's name slowly faded into legend, but UnusualShiba held out hope for his potential return to the world. Then, as suddenly as he had disappeared Blackleaf was returned to the material world on January 23rd, 2022. While he remained physically unscathed, his religious fervour had been drastically increased in his 5 month absence and he set to constructing a yet grander temple for the people of the Vulperium.
