Aldric Eadhin Asagrim

Aldric Éadhin Asagrim is the adoptive son of Hávi Asagrim. His journey in Rathnir originated on the continent of Cymru, in the kingdom of Greater Karolium. He went on to play a significant role in the fall of Karolium, and later become first Baron, then Minister (of Logistics) in Silvay, under the Imperial Archonal Union of Viodoxa.

Early Life
Born into the middle class of Gro-Ansicün, He had lived quite a luxurious childhood - while there wasn't much to disrupt the life of families in the land of old, there were many less fortunate than him. Nonetheless: the safety, wealth, progress and stability in Gro-Ansicün, and the land in it's entirety, was ensured by the Great Ansede, watching over his people. He was worshipped by any and all living in the known lands, magnificent cathedrals were erected to his honor, rituals and gatherings were held daily. So, under his protection, the lands flourished.

However, later in His still rather short life, the rumors of a certain group's rising was heard; while ignored as a mere story by most, some pursued the search for that group, either because of genuine interest in their beliefs, or pure curiosity. While they didn't have much influence in Gro-Ansicün, they grew quite popular in the northern city of Aridam, where they originated. They followed a set of thoughts strange to anyone else living in the land: They repelled the beliefs of the generous and all-mighty Great Ansede, and wanted to free themselves and their brothers from the tight, oppressive grip the Great Ansede had on them. In secret, the high members of this society had developed and prepared mechanisms, the only purpose of which was to fight their own race.

Disease
The Consilium Ansicum had been discussing about this group ever since they started being whispered about. Most of the Council, including its head, thought such beliefs and goals impossible to be pursued by their own people to such a degree, though. While still a frequent topic in discussions, nothing was done about them in Gro-Ansicün, or anywhere else in the land.

A rather long time passed since the group's emergence, and He grew to be a rather proficient craftsman - however, his main pursuit in life was the praise of the Great Ansede, as He was thankful for the situation He was allowed to be born into.

Some day though, not long after He had completed his path learning of crafting, He was shook by a disease. While they were known to the people by theory, diseases were incredibly rare in those lands, and often believed to be of mythical nature, or a sign of the Great Ansede. Unsure of what to do with this situation, He spent a short time going on with his life; with His condition gradually changing for the worse, however, He decided to go on a journey, in hopes of finding a reason behind the Great Ansede bringing him this condition. He packed the little things He needed for survival in the rich nature of the land, said goodbye to some - since His parents had passed already, He didn't have many companions in his life - and left the city.

Travel
Without a particular path chosen beforehand, He ventured into the east of the land. While His diseases fell off Him only shortly after He left the city He had spent his entire life up to this point in, He decided to keep exploring the land His people inhabited. He passed few cities, since the east was sparsely populated, but found enjoyment in life in the wilderness of the land, away from all influence His people and their civilization had imposed on the land.

Throughout his journey, the land gradually shifted from the easily traversed terrain of the west to the rather hilly environment, with few large mountains spread throughout it. While this posed a challenge to Him, He gladly took on that challenge, and continued walking. Once He had reached the far-eastern parts of the land, He decided to return to his old life, since his feet had grown tired of the journey and he was slowly running out of supplies in the rather barren area - but only after scaling the largest mountain on the horizon.

This last part of the journey was possibly the longest, or so it felt to Him, at least. With this really quite new challenge, He had to go beyond limits; but, at last, He succeeded. He stood on the summit of the mountain, watching the land under him, and decided to settle down there to rest. Before He did so, however, He did what He hadn't done in a while: Pray.

Intervention
''While he was praying, oblivious to his surroundings, a huge pulse of both light and air ravaged the prosperous lands in mere seconds, shaking cities and mountains. The epicenter seemed to be the city of his birth: Gro-Ansicün. After the pulse had traversed the land, no place seemed intact; cities had crumbled to the ground. In his prayers, he was knocked to the ground by the shockwave, and left unconscious.''

Arrival
The Third Archonate of Viodoxa stands in all its glory. Amidst it: The Great Kingdom of Karolium. Once a province of Viodoxa, it had established independence over the course of a long struggle.

It is here, where He awakes.

Family
Aldric never goes into detail about the family he had in the Land of Old, not beyond what is necessary to explain his story - to the few who are willing to listen, and who believe him. However, the Asagrim Clan decided to adopt him in Silvay - therefore they server as his family in current times.


 * Hávi Asagrim: Aldric first encountered Hávi, the founder of the Asagrim Clan, in the time leading up to the Second Purple Insurrection. At the time, Aldric was a citizen and representative of Karolium - an ally of Viodoxa, and by extension Silvay, at the time. While Aldric wasn't very knowledgeable in Rathnir and its professions, Hávi seemed to see potential in his character. After the Second Purple Insurrection happened, Hávi offered Aldric the position of mayor in a Silvish town, which he gladly accepted.
 * Llyre es vel Volaerys (fiancé): Initially, Llyre was Aldric's employer first and foremost, in the Rathnir Weapon Cache. They also had similar political views, however, since they both were part of the Imperial Archonal Union of Viodoxa. Later, Llyre moved from Almmoria to Ryoujing, a town close to Ansicün, where Aldric resided. They spent more and more time with each other for various reasons, and became closer. While not having settled on a time and place for marriage, they engaged eventually.

Friends
After the Second Purple Insurrection, Aldric, while still spending most of his time with producing and selling goods, started creating diplomatic bonds and finding friends all over Rathnir.
