Bitter Dovialka

Bitter Severus Dovialka (born summer of 59 SMP) is the King of Helos.

Bitter was born in Veltin, Hres in northern Eldham prior to Rathnirian colonization. Bitter was the son of Leonard and Ada Dovialka, the Tsea and Tseadess of Hres. In his infancy Rathnir would begin its colonization of Eldham and unknown Rathnarians followed bt the Ellysian Empire would invade the destroyed Hres. In the invasion Bitters hometown of Veltin was be razed to the ground and his parents were killed. In one of the attacks the Helosian scholar and philosopher Mentarius along with two royal guard would rescue Bitter and bring him to Stormgova where he would be raised alongside a group of refugees from Hres. Mentarius would raise and teach Bitter essentially becoming his adoptive father, at the age of 18 Bitter would leave Mentarius and sail to Rodinnbrok where he would write the historical book, 'Hail, Helosian!' Afterwards Bitter would meet a Rodinnian woman, Rosemary. Bitter and Rosemary would marry and then have Stew Dovialka together. During the couples second pregnancy Rosemary would die in child labor along with their unborn second child. Bitter would then leave Rodinnbrok with his son Stew Dovialka and he set sail back to Stormgova. Over the next few years Bitter would travel across northern eldham spreading his book Hail, Helosian! along with a new book called the 'New Homeland.'

New Homeland was a political philosophical book that invented the principles of modern Helosian Nationalism. After three years of spreading his new book, bitter would amass a group of dedicated Heloisan Nationalists along with others that searched for a better home and together they would begin the 'Great Voyage' across eldham in search for a new Helosian homeland. This voyage would see the formation of multiple failed nations and claims in places such as Holzinsel and Ostland. Eventually the group would land in Heli where alongside Bitter and his friend Aegeus they would form a union with the locals known as the Heldrak Republic. After Aegeus left Eldham for a while and tensions between Helians and Helosians deteriorated a Plagatean crusade would be launched on Heli. Bitter would manage to gather the Helians and Helosians and together they defeated the Zavtranian crusade. However Plagatea planned on attacking again and seizing his opportunity, Bitter committed a coup d'état against the Heldrak Senate and declared himself 'Tsea of Heldrak' beginning the Heldrak Civil War. Bitter would find support from all Helosians inside Heldrak alongside Plagatea, Helians would resist however and after half a year of small-scale skirmishes and bickering Bitter accepted Helian victory and left once again on a journey to find a homeland. Bitter and now fully grown Stew Dovialka would lead a voyage to a couple of seemingly unclaimed and unmarked islands in the Aquinterra sea. When the two alongside hundreds of Helosian refugees arrived on one of the islands they would form the Kingdom of Helos and after no intervention from the neighboring the nations the Helosians would declare the New Homeland was found.

Bitter alongside the Helosians explored and conquered most of the Aquinterra sea, becoming the first nation to widely inhabit the Northern and Central Aquinterra sea with the only other nation in the Aquinterra sea at that time being the Bunnyfolk nation of New Domatia. Bitter would eventually strike a deal with the Domatian leader Maple, adopting her into the Dovialka House and integrating New Domatian isles in Helos. Eventually Bitter would begin intervening in other nations politics. This would lead him to the Kingdom of Sotrania which wanted Bitter to marry their princess and cause a merger between the two nations. Bitter became invested in the idea however pro-republicans would take over the Sotranian monarchy and establish a Republic with only a symbolic monarchy. Shortly after the former monarchy began a civil war in Sotrania, Bitter at first supported the monarchy however after seeing that it would be more beneficial to support the Republic he switched sides. During the only battle of the civil war, the Battle of New-Kythnos Bitter would fight alongside the Republicans and Ahalia against the the Monarchists and Aquatos. Bitter would kill the most on the republican side however he got an axe to the stomach from the Aquatos leader Fropik making it so Bitter had to retreat and stay in hospital for half a year. In January 2022 Bitter became inactive again due to irl trouble so he integrated Helos into Ahalia, this wouldn't last however. Helosians were furious over Ahalian rule and seeing that it would just be better to join another nation Bitter illegally left Ahalia and became a protectorate of the A.W.E. After this Bitter would sell off all of the Helosian Islands besides the northern isles making over 500k. Bitter would be inactive, only getting once in a blue moon until June 2022. Today Bitter is attempting to grow and build up Helos.

Pre-Rathnir Colonization
Bitter was born in the summer of 59 SMP. Bitter was born into the royal house of Dovialka, the leading royal dynasty of the Hres Tseadom. Bitters father was Leonard Dovialka and his mother was Ada Dovialka. The two were the current leaders or Tsearas of Hres. Hres was a prosperous nation in the north of Eldham. Hres would be the homeland for the Helosian people for thousands of years, with its capital Veltin being a ancient city full of activity, trade, and culture. However, Just before Bitters first birthday something terrible would strike Hres.

Rathnir Colonization and The Fourth Battle of Veltin
One day a ship of more advanced men arrived in Veltin. These men were explorers from the continent of Rathnir. At first the Helosians accepted the Rathnirian explorers, after spending a month in Hres the Rathnirian would leave but they would soon return. After a while of no contact with any Rathnirians, two advanced warships appeared on the horizon. When the ships got closer a fleet of Heloisan ships left port to intercept them. When the two fleets meet the Helosian Naval Commander began to talk to the foreign commander. The foreign commander demanded the nation of Hres join his Rathnir nation as a colony. The Helosians rejected and fighting soon began. The Helosian fleet put up fight however with it would wiped from the face of Eldham. The Rathnirian invaders would beach near Veltin just three days later. Soon a small army would arrive outside the walls of Veltin, Helosian Warriors would put up a great defense of the city and eventually the Rathnirian soldiers would retreat back to their ships and flee to Rathnir. While Hres won the battle, the Veltin walls along with most of the Helosian warriors and their fleet were destroyed. Hres saw heavily casualties compared to only a couple dead Rathnirians. The nation was practically almost defenseless if they came back with a larger army or if any other nation invaded.

Ellysian Invasion
Soon after the Rathnirian invasion another Rathnirian nation to the east began to plan an campaign against Hres. That nation was the Ellysian Empire, another nation of Rathnirians that was quickly conquering the entire northeastern region of Eldham. Seeing the weakness of the Hres Tseadom, the Ellysian's invaded Hres. The Helosians attempted to fight against the Ellysians but they were no match. Most of the Helosian cities and villages were burned down by the invading force destroying decades of history and culture. When the Ellysians reached Veltin the Helosians put up one last stand.
