 EARLY LORE 

lnedible was part of an ancient culture, of which next to nothing is known about. He does not capitalize the first letter of his name on documents for some reason. His people were followers of Entropy, and they were often known as her servants. lnedible does not quite recall much more about his old culture.

He was a prosperous young warrior, and quickly rose the ranks. On his first mission as a captain of a small army, he was ambushed and his entire squad was wiped out. lnedible himself was slain by an arrow through the heart, but his soul was spared. Entropy was enraged at loosing some of her best warriors, so she spent about 25000 years keeping his soul.

During this time lnedible was in a prison cell unlike any other, with about 200 other spared failures like himself, but she was too busy with the greater failures and causing general chaos to ever really do anything to him

The cell wasn’t a cell at all. It was an eternal plane, with a flat salt floor and a flat salt ceiling about 200 feet above the ground. It was not dark dispute having no light sources. The salt went on as far as the eye could see, with no end. The horizon was eternally a yellowish color.

lnedible wandered across the plane with the other prisoners, in search of any landmark in the ground or ceiling. They never found anything.

She eventually let most of her prisoners go after needing to focus more of her power on not dying, so lnedible was freed, now immortal due to the curse not being lifted. He was put back into his former body, now a skeleton in a remote part of present day Huitca. He had not eaten any real food in 25000 years, and upon finding his first food, a potato, he immediately began to worship it.

He left Huitca in search for more potatoes and crossed the sea, where he happened upon Port Solanaria, his current location

EARLY PORT LIFE

lnedible loved life in Port Solanaria. The people there feared and respected him. He helped keep them safe through his combat training with Entropy. He also lead them in religious worship, becoming an extremist and preaching out against the dangers of any other religion. He also advocated for beetroots being considered an object of everything wrong with the world, due to Entropy enjoying them. This idea was already a part of Port Solanaria (Purely by chance) and this lead him to be seen as a sort of minor prophet, an idea bolstered by his inability to die.

lnedible was granted the rank of Elder Potato, the highest honor in Tuberism society after only a few years in Port Solanaria. This lead him to really start to shoot up the ranks in the town, as Tuberism's official religious headquarters were in Port Solanaria. He became the assistant overseer of the Treasury, and gained power by paying his allies greatly, which made more people want to ally with him, gaining him even more power, until he was one of the most dominant politicians.He also lead his own faction in the town, becoming more and more extreme in his ideas and hunger for power.

MASSACRES AND BANISHMENT

lnedible one day had a vision of famine, and ordered everyone to farm potatoes continuously. The famine struck and there wasn't enough food. Some non Tuberite farmers began to farm beetroots, as those seemed to be the only thing able to grow. lnedible thought that the famine was a test, and that the reason beetroots were still farmable was that the potatoes were testing them, seeing if they would give in to weakness. He ordered that the farmers who decided to farm beetroots be executed. 15 were killed, with an unknown number escaping.

This sent the POWERFUL message the lnedible was in charge, and anyone who opposed him would be done away with through any and all means possible.

lnedible would have gotten away with it, but a young dwarf by the name of Zion gravely wounded him in a duel for power, and he was shipped off to the neighboring village of Patania until he recovered.

RETURN

lnedible returned to Port Solanaria a few months later, and resumed being......lnedible. He immediately resumed control of the treasury and began regaining power. He actually did some good stuff, beginning his career as a Bardonian politician, and continued to gradually oust the other Elder Potatoes and gain following, except Zion, who with her and her ideals was a very large thorn in his side.

He also began training a militia, as he could see the Fourth Bardonian empire beginning to collapse in on itself.

He also improved infrastructure, and began to get people to move to the city once again. Obviously he overally calmed down a bit. He even managed to win over some Bardonians, but Zion had a larger standing in the Bardonian government than him, a fact which he greatly reviled.

He also worked on expanding the Borders of the official Province of Solanaria. He bought land and annexed lots of undeveloped areas, managing to bring the entire swamp, named the Tuberswamplands, under Port Solanarias control. He also helped build a whole lot of buildings, and spent time mining to improve the economy.

He also began to develop morals. He saw the effect his massacre had on Port Solanaria, and deeply regretted it. He issued a public apology.

VIROLIA

The Bardonian Empire, unsurprisingly according to lnedible, collapsed. Talks of independence began to fester in the streets. lnedible was at first hesitant, because independence would mean giving up everything he had worked toward in the government. Independence was also a difficult subject for him, due to a Bardonian loyalist exposing a referendum he had held months earlier, which asked citizens if they wanted independence (The result was yes, much to both his and Zions interest). lnedible managed to clear his name, but many citizens, notably Apps, a fellow Elder Potato were banished.

Apps had returned though, and he, without consulting the other Elder Potatoes (Or anyone at all for that manner) declared independence along with the city of Virothen, which had had previous ties to the city but was nearly abandoned. The name Virolia was assumed, which seemed weird. Due to Port Solanaria making up almost 90% of the population, lnedible thought that the name would be Solanum or Solanaria, but Virolia was chosen.

Virolia was the last part of Bardonia to declare independence. It is also situated in core Bardonia, and had never not been apart of Bardonia in recent memory. Understandably, it was controversial throughout its entire existence.

Apps had greatly bolstered his career by declaring independence, and could have truly ran the country how he wished, but he hesitated after the declaration and lnedible jumped on the opportunity and became the Lord of Virolia.

Zion was (Of course) a Bardonian loyalist. Bardonia would have begrudgingly let Virolia be. Zion did not want this. She REPEATEDLY tried to hand over Port Solanaria to Bardonia. She at first agreed that Virolia could keep the rest of its territory if it handed over Port Solanaria and another, irrelevant city named Madmans Keep. Eventually she wanted all of Virolia handed back (It is suspected that Bardonia itself had a hand in this)

lnedible spent most of his time defending Virolias independence, sending delegates to Ryzan and Tortuga to ask for military assistance (Ryzan approved of independence but did not get involved in keeping Virolia independence. Tortuga politely declined) lnedible also spent a disproportionate amount of his time on a Border dispute over two small islands in the middle of nowhere (Really this dispute needs its own page its so unnecessarily complex. The islands were eventually handed over to Romansh, with the two Port Solanarian men there becoming duel citizens)

lnedible also spent his time holding referendums, reworking the government (He was politically unopposed due to Zion being a loyalist and losing all her popularity due to a census showing that 80% of citizens wanted independence), and restructuring lots of old, obsolete systems and putting himself on top of all of them

He did all this with Bardonia and its lapdog, Zion, and another pacifist Elder Potato, Hipps  breathing down his neck, waiting for him to show weakness. Wanting peace, Hipps  had been there a very, very long time, and had seen everything lnedible had done. He didn't want him to kill for his power again, but was 100% sure he would again, and didn't want it to be him on the edge of a sharpened farming sickle. This lead to him advocating for him to removed from power as soon as possible. His voice did not go unheard, and lnedible considered executing him. If he killed Zion, that would mean war with Bardonia, but Hipps  was his own voice with his own faction. He chose against it, deeming it important to get as popular as possible, and not thinking that he could do as much damage as Zion. He also was using those shiny new morals he was still developing.

There are always 5 elder potatoes, but during this time, there were only 4. Nova, the previous Elder Potato had died of old age. She was only in power for a few months, and had little political power, but would have definitely tipped the balance of power towards Bardonia, and lead to Virolian independence lasting very long. This was because Elder Potatoes often held votes on matters, and due to Apps and lnedible, always voting the pro-Virolian option and Zion and  Hipps  always voting the pro-Bardonian option, nothing was ever done.

lnedible quickly disregarded the votes, stepping over the need for the councils of the other Potatoes, and began beefing up the military, ordering weapons from outside sources and drafting lots of civilians.

Bardonia, after seeing Virolia surprisingly not collapse on itself, and seeing it prosper, decided that they wanted it back. This choice was unsurprising, but still heartrending for lnedible. All the effort he went through was for nothing. He knew that war with Bardonia was pointless, as dispute still reeling from the collapse, they were still a powerful military force.

VIROLIAN COLLAPSE

lnedible agreed to peacefully hand Virolia back to Bardonia, provided he got his previous roles in the government returned to him.

He made one last announcement to the people of Port Solanaria in a speech, then retreated into the State Capital and signing the papers agreeing to hand Virolia back. All citizens of Virolia would be forgiven for any past Bardonia hate speech, everyone would get their roles back, and things would go back to normal

lnedible got to keep the title "Lord of Virolia".

Zion revealed that SHE WANTED VIROLIA TO STAY INDEPENDENT AND THOUGHT THAT A WEAK VIROLIA WOULD BE SEEN AS NOT A THREAT, SO PURPOSEFULLY ARGUED TO JAGDAS AND BACK WITH LNEDIBLE OVER EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING (ZZB WHY)

She was sentenced to life in prison for crimes against the state, and was found dead the next day. lnedible is not suspected.

THE GOVERNMENT

lnedible wasted no time in getting himself involved in the Bardonian government again. He was granted more power than he had had previously due to handing over the nation peacefully.

He used his power to gain more power, and then used that power to gain more and more power until his influence could be felt for miles. He began to improve Port Solanaria (Virothens leader did some stupid stuff, so lnedible was not concerned with Virothen anymore, and so the name Virolia was now irrelevant.) which had fallen into disrepair from neglect due to all the Elders being too busy with external affairs.

lnedible kept gradually gaining power, waiting for the opportune moment to strike

THE FALL OF BARDONIA

When Bardonia collapsed after Andreas, the dictator, died, lnedible made his move. He attempted to seize power in the government.

The fall of Bardonia is too important to not talk about, but is unfortunately one of the most complex things to describe due to there being so many different points of view, but I’ll do my best

Basically Andreas wanted to not rule Bardonia anymore, but decided to take Bardonia with him. He gave everyone their independence and told the gang to not get back together. There was something like 31 (32?…33?) independent (I’m using the term “independent” very loosely here because most independent areas were either a single city or inactive to the point that there was no viable leaders) “countries”. They swiftly reunited (with a few exceptions, but those were reconquered), which defeated Andreas’s whole idea.

Anyway back to lnedible

His motives were surprisingly not too bad. He wanted power for Port Solanaria, obviously, but he also would have enjoyed helping Bardonia. He also saw himself as more competent than almost every other person in the government.

He, and a majority of the other ambitious and loyal leaders of these newly independent Countries met up. (This was organized by lnedible, further increasing his respect. This might have actually been the exact time where he solidified his importance in Bardonia.) Their goal was to reunite everyone into Bardonia once again. They succeeded with the help of Mobius (a prominent character in Bardonia who is also a chad).

I AM THE SENATE

lnedible was chosen to be a Senator. This was the second greatest position in all of Bardonia, second only to Emperor. This was the highest honor a Solanarian Tuberist had ever gotten. This honor had been granted before, though, but it was almost impossible to get any higher than this.

lnedible knew this. Due to being immortal, if he played his cards right, he could be in this prestigious spot forever. He just had to be active in the government and be a bastion of good models for all citizens to follow.

All senators (and some provincial representatives and officials) are granted a ministry. This is their specialization. Examples include ministry of war, ministry of communications, etc.

lnedibles granted ministry was the Ministry of Activity (this ministry clashes HORRENDOUSLY with roleplay, because it’s basically just to get people to be active and play the game and enjoy it. It is a hard job because you have to plan a lot of events and the like)

lnedible appointed a council to help him out with the planning and such. The council was terrible at their job (with the exception of one stellar person. You know who you are). It was ironic because the activity council was the most inactive council in Bardonia.

lnedible gave them deadlines for planning and hosting events set in the fairly far future, and then set about hosting events himself. (He hosted 3 in 3 weeks).

He later was told by some guy who had authority for some reason to clean the swamp Port Solanaria is in. So he did. The swamp was impeccable. He got fired for not cleaning the swamp. His senatorial powers were stripped away, his activity council revoked, and he was thoroughly demoted to Provincial Representative.

lnedible spent a lot of time in a government limbo, with many things happening very quickly. He eventually settled on being a provincial representative for Solanum. He just had to run things smoothly

I AM NO LONGER THE SENATE :(

During this time, Elevenmantis, the 5th Elder potato officially resigned from his post. This was for a myriad of reasons that are unimportant to this story. Azzo de Medici, the 3rd Elder Potato, also inhaled trace amounts of beetroot after blowing up a small underground beetroot farming complex and became gravely ill and unable to perform his duties. This lead to 2 Elder Potatoes being out.

lnedible was busy with the government, and was also away in New Dorasterrock getting his roles figured out. He came back to Port Solanaria in disarray for obvious reasons.

A small plan began to form is his mind during this time, however. Eleven had been a notorious wild card, and he and Azzo had had a recent split in their ideals. He saw that for these reasons, as well as losing his spot in government, his influence was beginning to fade at a steady pace. In order to save face, he promised two loyal citizens, S. Plank (Salmon) and Laythe87 that they could fill the absent posts in exchange for their loyalty. They agreed, to his surprise.

He still had a challenge to get them into the government, though. Jorgel and Erain. Both of them were descendants of former Elder Potatoes. Jorgel was the violent offspring of the peaceful Hipps. Erain was related to Zion. Both of them had no real reason to oppose lnedible, but they both knew he was up to something because, you know, hes lnedible. Of course he's gonna figure something out.

lnedible decided to hold a vote for the newest Elder Potato spot. This was technically a temporary position, due to Azzo still having a chance of recovering. lnedible placed his bet that he wouldn't and decided to hold an election. This would guarantee Laythe the "temporary" position, who would then vote with lnedible to get S. Plank on the council, making lnedible by far the most dominant entity in Solanum.

After a completely legitimate election, run entirely by lnedible of course, Laythe was granted the fourth spot. Salmon was voted on the council 2 hours later. The plan was complete.

Now you may be asking "Hey lnedible, how did S. Plank get on if Erain and Jorgel will vote against you every time?" Well SHUT UP because I got an answer for you. They couldn't agree on the next appointee. Jorgel was too busy doing...................................................................................something (beetroot worship) and didn't have a candidate. Erain wanted some irrelevant guy from the department of war. Jorgel voted for one of the only guys in the entire town that supported religious tolerance (because, you know, beetroot worship). This lead to S. Plank getting the clear majority.

Thats all for now folks. This story isn't over. It is instead still unfolding as the next moves get made.
