Theodred Angelae-Onevior

Théodred Kronison Lyon Bolodrav-Astaseul Angelae-Onevior "The Wise" is a Khervoksire scholar, philosopher and religious leader. He currently resides in the Kentidom of Faxemia, a small nation located within the borders of Charm, in the Astyllean sea. Being over 600 years old, Theodred is very knowledgeable in a multitude of subjects, having studied philosphy, theology, astronomy, geology and maths, and being fluent on 20+ languages. His knowledge and experience lead to him becoming a great politician and leader, having held many different titles from a handful of nations. Théodred currently serves as Council Member in Charm, Kentis (Leader) of Faxemia, First servant (Leader) of Faxemis Angelae and family head of the Angelae-Onevior Dynasty.

Being the only remaining Khervoksire and the last of the ancient Onevior Dynasty, Theodred was chosen by the gods to become the first Kentis of Faxemis Angelae, having written most of the holy Angelaean books himself. He is still the appointed Kentis to this day, having lead the religion for almost 140 years (2 irl years) as a prophet.

Appearance
Théodred is incredibly tall, standing at 7'3 feet tall (221 cm), which is above average for a Khervoksire. His eyes are pale blue, due to old age, but were once green as emeralds. His ears are long, pointy and wrinkly, and fall under their own weight, each ear curving away from the head. His nose is large with a rounded tip, and is too full of wrinkles. His aged face is covered with a long silver beard, which falls to his stomach, which is connected with his long white hair, which goes down to his back. His skin is light, acquiring a more pinkish look during the summer.

Théodred is usually seen carrying his old woden walking stick, though he seems to be able to walk perfectly without it, as his body appears to work as if he was many centuries younger. He usually wears his old grey robes or his clerical ones, as to show humility, although he most often wears gold-adorned robes during important events. He usually wears black and very well polished shoes, which he used to wear in his long walks back when he was still living in Grandia.

The secret to Théodred's amazingly long life is still unknown, with most assuming it is either due to the gods' blessing or because of Théodred's incredible magical abilities.

Childhood
Théodred was born in the continent of Haven, in 513 A.R (1217 ASC), in the noble Onevior House. He lived on the ancient Lubery castle with his parents and family members, and was destined to become the family head. But was unfortunately left at the doorsteps of a Soleannen monastery at 4 weeks old, never having the opportunity to grow with his parents, as all of the living members of the Onevior Dynasty were killed during a bandit raid to the Lubery castle except him.

At the age of 6 Théodred became a monk, devoting himself to a life of learning and study. His exceptional intelligence and insatiable thirst for knowledge quickly caught the attention of the abbots and he was chosen to study at the prestigious Calandria Academy. Here, he excelled in all of his studies and became fluent in many different languages.

Despite his young age, Théodred had already experienced more loss and tragedy than most people experience in a lifetime. Yet, he remained determined to make the most of his life and to use his abilities for the good of others. His time at the monastery taught him discipline and humility, and his years at the academy only strengthened his love of learning and his desire to help others.

Théodred's childhood may have been marked by tragedy and loss, but it was also a time of great growth and discovery. Despite the hardships he faced, he remained resilient and dedicated to his studies, always striving to better himself and those around him.

Discovering his roots
From a young age, Théodred had an insatiable curiosity and a thirst for knowledge that set him apart. However, it wasn't until he was 8 years old that he discovered he had supernatural abilities and magic powers.

Théodred's discovery of his abilities was not without its challenges. At first, he struggled to control his powers and often accidentally caused harm to those around him. But with time and practice, he learned to master his abilities, using his magic to protect those in need and to uncover hidden knowledge. In the monastery, Théodred used his powers to help with the daily tasks, such as cleaning, cooking, and gardening. He would use his magic to make the chores go faster and to make the plants grow better. He also used his powers to help the sick and injured, healing them with his magic.

With his newfound powers, Théodred's life took on a new purpose. He became a protector of knowledge, using his magic to uncover secrets and protect those in need. He also devoted himself to learning everything he could about his powers, studying ancient texts and seeking the wisdom of the gods. In his studies, he learned about the history of the Khervoksire race, their connection to the gods, and the duties of a Khervoksire as a servant of the gods.

His journey of discovery led him to become one of the greatest leaders, scholars, and religious figures of his time. He served as a mentor and teacher to many, passing on his knowledge and wisdom to future generations. He also used his powers to defend the vulnerable and to fight against injustice, always striving to make the world a better place for all. Through his actions, he earned the respect and admiration of those around him and left a lasting legacy as a powerful and revered figure in the history of the Khervoksire race.

Early Teens
Théodred's life in the monastery took a dramatic turn when he entered his teenage years. At the age of 13, he was already considered one of the most knowledgeable and talented students among the monks, and was given the responsibility of assisting the Abbot in various tasks. Despite his young age, Théodred quickly became a respected member of the monastic community and was often sought after for his wisdom and advice. During his time in the monastery, Théodred was exposed to a wide range of knowledge and skills, including history, philosophy, theology, and languages. He was particularly interested in the history of the Onevior Dynasty and the Khervoksire race, and spent countless hours researching and learning about his heritage. This fascination with his roots eventually led him to question the purpose of his life and the role he was meant to play in the world. Despite the challenges he faced in the monastery, Théodred remained dedicated to his studies and his faith. He rose early each day to attend morning prayers and spent the rest of the day in quiet reflection, studying, and practicing his skills. He was known for his tireless work ethic and his unwavering commitment to the monastic life.

As he approached his 16th birthday, Théodred began to realize that he had outgrown the monastery and felt the call to venture out into the world to discover his true destiny. He was torn between his loyalty to the monastic community and his desire to explore the wider world, but ultimately decided that it was best to leave the safety and comfort of the monastery to seek his own path. Théodred felt that he had much to offer the world and was eager to put his knowledge and skills to the test.

Leaving the monastery
Soon after, at the age of 16, Théodred left the Soleannen monastery and began his journey into the wider world. He was filled with a sense of excitement and wonder, eager to explore the unknown and discover his true purpose in life. For the next four years, he traveled the world, visiting countless cities and kingdoms, immersing himself in different cultures and ways of life.

One of his first stops was the city of Yurin'Nye, where he spent several months studying ancient magic and the Khervoksire race. He was fascinated by the power and mystery of magic and sought to understand it more fully. . After his time in Yurin'Nye, Théodred continued his journey, visiting the forests and the deserts, and learning from the people who lived there. He was amazed by the beauty and majesty of nature and spent many hours exploring the wilderness, observing the animals and plants that lived there. He was especially drawn to the creatures of the forests, and it was there that he first encountered the magical and mystical beings that inhabited the world.

But his travels were not easy, as Théodred saw himself forced to trekked through dense forests, climb high mountains, and cross treacherous rivers, all in the name of gaining a deeper understanding of the world around him. He lived off the land, hunting for food and finding shelter in caves and under the stars. As he journeyed through the wild, he discovered that he had a unique connection to the land, and was able to sense the movements of the creatures around him. Théodred made a point of visiting libraries and studying ancient texts, and he would often spend hours talking to local experts in various fields. He was particularly interested in religion and philosophy, and would often spend long nights discussing these topics with sages and scholars.

Rejoining Civilization
Théodred Kronison Angelae-Onevior was not only knowledgeable in many different subjects, but he also had the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds of his time. After returning to civilization at the age of 21, he decided to return to the world of civilization and continue his education.

The first few schools he attended were more traditional, teaching him subjects such as mathematics, philosophy, history, and geography. He spent decades at each of these schools, mastering each subject to the highest level. However, the more he learned, the more he realised how little he knew. The next schools he attended taught him everything from elvish magic to dwarven blacksmithing. He spent an incredible amount of time at each of these schools, learning not only the techniques of magic and blacksmithing, but also the history and culture behind each of these subjects. He was particularly interested in elvish magic, and dedicated a significant amount of time to studying the subject, which led him becoming one of the few living masters in the area.

Aside from his studies, Théodred was also exposed to many different cultures during his travels. This, with the help of his incredible magical abilities, allowed him to learn over 27 different languages, greatly helped him in his future dealings. He was also confronted with each culture's own unique beliefs, customs, and traditions, which fascinated him. He spent much of his time learning about these cultures and incorporating their knowledge and values into his own life. Théodred's education was a lifelong journey, and he never stopped learning. Each school he attended taught him something new, and he was always eager to expand his knowledge and understanding of the world. He used the knowledge and skills he learned in his schools to not only better himself, but also to help those around him, and was respected by many, not only for his knowledge and wisdom, but also for his kindness and compassion.

Becoming a Hermit monk


Théodred's journey through the many schools had allowed him to acquire a vast amount of knowledge and expertise in a multitude of subjects. He had studied the intricacies of magic, the history and culture of different races, the workings of the natural world, and much more. He had honed his skills as a speaker and leader, and was well-versed in the arts of philosophy and theology. However, despite all of his accomplishments, Théodred still felt that there was something missing in his life. He had seen so much of the world and met so many people, but he still felt unfulfilled. It was then that he realized that he needed to take some time for himself, to reflect on all that he had learned and experienced.

Thus, Théodred decided to become a hermit monk, withdrawing from the world and dedicating himself to a life of contemplation and introspection. He chose a remote location in the wilderness, far from civilization, where he could live in solitude and meditate on the nature of existence. For 3 lives of men, Théodred remained in his self-imposed exile, contemplating the mysteries of the universe and gaining greater insights into the nature of reality. He used his incredible powers to sustain himself, drawing upon the energies of the land and the cosmos to maintain his longevity. During this time, he deepened his connection with the natural world, communing with the animals and plants and learning their secrets. He delved deeper into the study of magic, mastering the arcane arts and unlocking new levels of understanding. He read ancient and long lost texts, contemplating the wisdom of the sages and learning the ways of the spirit. And through it all, Théodred continued to grow and evolve, gaining a deeper and deeper appreciation for the richness and diversity of life. He saw the beauty in all things, from the tiniest insect to the grandest mountain, and he felt a profound sense of awe and reverence for the mysteries of the universe.

Despite his long time in exile, Théodred never forgot his connection to the world, and he always felt a deep longing to share his insights and knowledge with others. He knew that his time as a hermit monk was coming to an end, and that he would eventually return to the world, bringing with him the wisdom and understanding he had gained through his years of solitude.

The revelation
Théodred's peaceful existence as a hermit monk was disrupted one day when he received a divine message. It was from a powerful deity, known as Faxemus, who had taken notice of Théodred's exceptional wisdom and spiritual devotion. He tasked Théodred with a mission to spread his message and teachings to the rest of the world. Théodred was hesitant at first, having chosen the life of a solitary monk for the past 300 years. But, the call of the divine was too strong to ignore, and he felt a sense of purpose that he had not experienced in centuries.

The holy revelation marks the start of the Angelaean calendars, and is the most important miracle of the faith, being celebrated with a big festival. The hill which Faxemus chose to step on is considered sacred, and has been dubbed "The holy hill".

Théodred recorded Faxemus' teachings in The Book of the Prophet, which were later transcribed into the Testaments of Faxemus and the Faxemis Angelaean wiki page.

And so Théodred left his hermitage and traveled to the city of grandia, where he began to preach the word of Faxemus. People were drawn to him, both by his message and by his charismatic presence. Théodred quickly gained a following, and he soon realized that Faxemus calling was to lead a religious movement. He worked tirelessly to spread the word of the deity, traveling from city to city, and country to country, gathering new converts along the way.As Théodred's religious movement grew, so did his own spiritual power. The deity continued to guide him, providing him with visions and messages that he used to shape his teachings.

Despite his busy schedule, Théodred continued to spend time in solitude and meditation, deepening his connection with Faxemus and honing his spiritual abilities. He never forgot his humble beginnings as a hermit monk, and he remained dedicated to serving the greater good, using his powers for the benefit of all. His divine mission and unwavering faith would lead him to become one of the most important figures in the history of religion, and his teachings would continue to inspire and guide people for generations to come.

Théodred decided to register his interactions with Faxemus in a book know as "The book of the prophet", which is now a holy book in the Faxemis Angelaean faith.

Creation of the Church
After settling in Grandia, Théodred made a great sacrifice to the gods to thank them for guiding and protecting him throughout his journey. He soon discovered the city's church, which he converted into the first Faxemis Angelaean church. One month after the creation of the faith, the first convert, Saint Walter, the Lion of Bellum, joined Théodred. They became close friends and worked together to spread the religion throughout Rathnir.

Soon enough, Bellum himself appeared to Théodred and Walter. He told them ancient tales of salvation and gave them the god's teachings carved into logs, which Théodred later transcribed into a book. Bellum also answered their questions and invoked the four great prophets of Sakrelism: Saxhreask, Terenalak, Ataron, and Fasherak. These prophets stood silently, listening to their master, as Bellum bestowed the title of "Lion of Bellum" upon Saint Pep, making him the rightful leader of the Bellumite Knights.

Inspired by Bellum's words, Théodred and Saint Walter set out to spread the religion of Faxemis Angelae far and wide. Saint Walter traveled throughout Rathnir, evangelizing and building churches, while Théodred remained in Grandia, constructing the grand Basilica of the all-powerful Faxemus. Tragically, Saint Walter/ Pep was killed shortly after completing the church in his own town by a group of angry neighbors following the Viodoxan civil war. He became the first martyr of the Faxemis Angelaean faith and is now revered as a saint. Despite this setback, the religion continued to grow and thrive, thanks to the dedication and sacrifice of Théodred and the other followers of the Faxemis Angelaen faith.

First months
Théodred came uppon the coastal town of Grandia in the year of 1 P.R, having come from the west, and quickly made his way around the city walls to the town's gate. There he found the magister and jezter of the Archduchy of Azuria, Fire_Blitz. Théodred was warmly welcomed into Grandia, and was given a house by the harbor, near the western borders of the town, where he settled. Théodred quickly settled down and started a small scale business selling gear and weapons which he learned to forge during his years of studying. It was during this time that Faxemis Angelaean began to spread to other Azurian citizens, which eventually led to it becoming a relatively well known religion in Grandia, though it would not be recognised by the state until much later.

The 2 Miracles
It was during these first few months that Faxemus appeared to Théodred for a second time, inside the Church de La'Grandia, and it was during this apparition that the names of the great angels were first heard by Théodred, who documented what the god had revealed. Faxemus, who appeared in the form of a shinning white silhouette, blessed the Faxemis Angelaean church and left a handful of items which are now kept safe by Théodred. These were The Wisdom of Fasherak (a book and quill which was stolen by an unknown robber), The Craftmanship of Terenalak (polished andesite), The Harvest of Saxhreask (wheat) and The Fire of Ataron (a flint and steel).

Just 3 days after the previous apparition, Bellum showed himsled to Théodred and Saint Pep, once again in the Church de La'Grandia. There many miracles ensued, including the glowingstones present on the chandeliers turning into soul fire, the water pond at the center of the church turning into solid honey blocks, the barrel in which the items sacrifice was placed being transformed into bedrock and the forging of the Blade of Bal'Ira. The sword, which was a mythical artifact, was presented as the ultimate gift from the gods to the mortal men, being enchanted by the high angels. Unfortunately, the book in which Bellum's words were marked was lost and so was the god's wisdom. It was only after the second apparition that Faxemis Angelae became a recognised religion in the Azurian Archduchy and Théodred was recognised as a religious leader.

The First Festival
With Faxemus' Day approaching rapidly, Théodred decided to prepare some sort of celebration. He ended up settling on a festival, which was organised on a small valley between Grandia and Yestanbul. The Festival was a sucess, and motivated Théodred to organise more and more events. The ruins of the first festival still exist, though very few live who still remember them for what they are. Unfortunately, the few years after the festival would prove to be very harsh for Théodred, as he would see his Basilica being torn down.

The Basilica Crisis
Following the two apparitions, Théodred decided to built a place where he could store the artifacts, which would serve as the center of his faith. Seeing the gods had descended from the heavens to meet him in Grandia twice, Théodred decided that it would be best to built the Basilica there. The construction project rapidly began, with many of the townsfolk helping with the needed materials and coming together to assemble the majestic building. A suitable place was found, right outside of the western portion of the city walls. Unfortunately, there was a river dividing the land in two, which was too strong to be redirected. Therefore, Théodred decided to built a strong foundation deep into the river, and bring the Basilica right over. The Archduke at the time (V0idF1sh) did not, however, like this approach, and ordered the Basilica to be torn down. Théodred went forward and tried to reason with the Archduke, but to no avail. V0idf1sh said the Basilica was way too big and could not block the river, as it would stop merchant boats from coming into the city. Théodred was still not convinced, but decided it was best not to desobey the Archduke, even though the Basilica had the town's mayor (Fire_Blitz) support.

The citizens came together and dismounted the imponent church, but Théodred decided to leave the giant front towers as a monument to what Grandia could've become: the center of the Angelaean faith. The towers did not last very long though, as the Archduke made sure they too were torn down. It was after this event that the town mayor oficially converted to Faxemis Angelae and ended up getting married in a Faxemis Angelaean church not much later.

Getting into Politics
Théodred's life took an unexpected turn when he was approached by the rulers of Saladonia. They were in desperate need of someone with his vast knowledge and experience to help govern their kingdom. Théodred was hesitant at first, but the rulers of Saladonia were persistent and after much contemplation, he finally agreed to become the chancellor of Saladonia. As chancellor, Théodred worked tirelessly to improve the kingdom's infrastructure and economy but, despite his efforts, Saladonia was soon after disbanded due to internal conflicts and political instability. This, however, marked the beggining of Théodred's political life. Following the disaster that was Saladonia, he was accepted by the archduke V0idf1sh as a gent in his hometown of Grandia, and soon enough he was a well known and trusted Azurian citizen. And a few years afterwards (about 2 months irl) he was given a plot to built the Basilica in. Théodred planned the Basilica carefully, but ended up not having enough funding for it, leaving the project unfinished.

Joining Kranga
While praying in the Church de La Grandia, Théodred was approached by an intriguing stranger who introduced himself as Chris. He said he had come from a far distance to see the Grandian church, known for its many miracles. He was the leader of a small nation, which needed funding, and proposed that they would accept Faxemis Angelae as their true faith in exchange for funding. Théodred agreed, and the state of Atalantia was formed. It was, however disbanded soon after, and chris disappeared for a couple years. Théodred had completely forgotten about Atalantia when Chris reappeared at his doorstep: he said he felt like he owed something to Théodred, for he had funded his nation only to see itcrumble. As such, Chris decided to make Faxemis Angelae the official religion of a small settlement he had made inside Kranga.

However Théodred gradually forgot about it too, as the settlement was quickly returned to Krangan hands. However, on a cold winter evening, he came across a small note he had written years ago, hidden within a barrel in his house, which  provided directions to Chris' town. After giving it some thought, Théodred made the decision to visit Kranga. He rode east to sparwood and into Krangan land, eventually stumbling upon the town of Fort Harold. The elderly clergyman was given food and a place to stay by the welcoming Krangan people. While there he was able to take part in a religious ceremony to Harold, a pig spirit which the Krangan venerated. Théodred was convinced that this was simply a random pagan religion which worshipped powerless icons, but he could not have been more wrong. Harold made an appearance during the ceremony, hovering over the Krangan people's heads as humanoid pig with wings made of pure light and a golden halo above his head. Théodred witnessed the same old man he had seen so many years earlier approaching Harold, as if he were ascending an invisible flight of stairs that led high into the sky. Seeing the old man, Harold knelt down to him.

Théodred decided to stay a few more months, as to better understand what had happened. He had, however, came uppon Kranga during a period of profound popular discontent. The monarchs who reigned over Kranga were corrupt, and refused to give a voice to their people. One of the monarchs, Kane, decided to, on a selfless act, step down, in order to try and create the republic of Kranga. Théodred supported their cause, and proved to be a valuable member on the creation of the republic.

While spending his time there, Théodred ended up building a great church in the holy town of Fort Harold, which now stands covered in nature, as Harold commanded.

Expansion of Faxemis Angelae into Eldham
The day after coming back to Grandia, following the creation of the republic of Kranga, Théodred was, once again, approached by a stranger, Kayeda Sylvoka. She was a eldhamite Lycror who had travelled far to talk with the Kentis of Faxemis Angelae. She said she had been saved by one of Faxemus' angels, and wished to convert to Faxemis Angelae. Kayeda's dedication to the faith was great, and earned her a respectable place as a cretwis and as the eldham representative of Théodred, becoming close friends with Théodred.

Walter's Death
A handful of years after the second Basilica project started, Théodred's closest friend, Walter Schneider of Kemon was killed. His death deeply affected Théodred, who took a long time to grief his death. It was during this time that Théodred was entrusted with taking care of the town of Seidora and was promoted to Hertug (Minister) of the Economy in Azuria. All of this work mixed with Walter's death lead to Théodred becoming incredibly busy and being unable to work on the Basilica.

Creation of Faxemia
After some time working on the religion, Théodred decided it was time to create a town for the faithful. While searching for the perfect place he was contacted by the Archduke of Azuria: there was a remote island in the middle of the ocean, the fort of Vanvoxia, which could be converted back into a city. He left the Azurian mainland, and sailed to Vanvoxia, in hoped of starting a new community. Théodred immediately began construction, building temples, homes, and other buildings that would be needed for the growing community. As the town began to take shape, more and more people started to arrive, drawn by the gods' teachings and the promise of a new life in a holy community. Théodred, who is to this day serving as the First Servant of the gods, taught the residents about their ways and helped to establish the town's government and economy.The creation of Faxemia was a turning point for Théodred, and for the many people who chose to make it their home. It was a place where they could live in harmony with the gods, and where they could learn and grow as individuals. Through his tireless efforts and unwavering dedication, Théodred had created a lasting legacy that would inspire future generations for centuries to come.

The Division of Azuria
A few years after the creation of Faxemia, discontent started to rise in the Azurian government. V0idF1sh was unhappy with the Azurian Archduke, who had let Azuria fall into inactivity. In order to peacefully settle this, V0idF1sh peacefully seceded from Azuria, taking his town of Yestanbul, the dwarven town of Grogonia and the Azurion Isles with him. Théodred stood worried, seeing the Azurian government being split into two, with both sides containing people whom he wholeheartedly trusted. He decided to stand with Fire_Blitz, as he was afterall the rightful ruler of Azuria, though his lack of actions profoundly disturbed Théodred.

The Death of Fire_Blitz
Not long after the creation of Faxemia, Fire_Blitz, who had been made archduke, disappeared during a hunt. The Azurian people searched for him for months, but to no avail. The Archduke was proclaimed dead, and the Azurian Archduke stood leaderless. The Azurian towns split, and independently joined Charm. Théodred was approached by V0idf1sh, who peacefully convinced him to join Charm as a way to reunite with his Azurian brothers and sisters.

Developing Faxemia
Life in Faxemia continued as normal after leaving Azuria, with Théodred prefering to take care of his small town rather than get involved in politics, due to his old age and grieving of Fire_Blitz's death, and still remainin reluctant to partake in politics in places other than his home town to this day. Even though he showed a strong reluctancy towards politics, Théodred was still able to get the Azurion Isles for free, thanks to V0idF1sh, who gave them as a gift to the Faxemian people.

Family
Théodred belongs to 4 different families, the Astaseul Family, the Bolodrav Dynasty, the Angelae-Onevior Dynasty and the Lihon Dynasty. He is tied by birth to the Onevior family, out of which he created the Angelae-Onevior branch, which is a spiritual family of the Faxemis Angelaen faith. He would later in life be bestowed the title of Bolodrav-Astaseul by means of a politically-motivated adoption. He would also be given the title of Lihon by his friend Chris, as a gift for Théodred's support. Théodred remains unmarried, as he has been for all his life, and does not have any children.
