Meidi Bal

History
Originating from the far northeast of Rathnir, Meidi Bal was the lone survivor of a shipwreck of a boat fleeing Jagdas. After completion of a new vessel, Meidi Bal sailed south along the eastern shores of Plagos and Nieden, plundering every temple and shipwreck in his path. Eventually, Meidi Bal was recruited into the Empire of Escharien in the early days of the rule of Emperor Siegfried. Despite joining the Empire early, Meidi Bal would be drawn back out to the Depths as the ocean called out to him. He would end up leaving a small hidden cache behind in Lileanen as the Empire refused to give access to the belongings he left behind when he abandoned his post to heed the call of the Depths. Having lost many of his possessions, Meidi Bal decided to return north. Having lost his previous vessel to the Eschariens, He was consigned to follow the network of roads north where he would get lost in the deserts of Najer.

After spending a great length of time lost in the deserts of Najer, Meidi Bal arrived at Najera'jad, and would meet and talk with a representative of the Silver Coalition. Meidi Bal would begin talks with the Silver Coalition about joining as a member and colonizing an island within their domain. During this time, Meidi Bal would set up a small farm and begin work on a great monument to the Depths that had led him on his journey, a pool of water on the island that reached the deepest depths of the world. Upon Completion of the monument the Depths called out to Meidi Bal once more, drawing him out to sea. When he returned from his pilgrimage, the Silver Coalition and formed into the Sterling Crownlands, which had then disbanded into several successor states. One such state, Aljazair, had lain claim to his island home and begun establishing a town upon it's shores, Qued. With his monument queued for demolition by the Qued leadership, Meidi Bal set out for a new home, vowing to never leave it. In his desperate search for a new home, Meidi Bal found a pair of islands untouched by others. Claiming it as the forever-home of the Bai, the town of Baikulo was born. But soon after embarking upon the islands, the depths called out again. Rather then follow the call out to sea, Meidi Bal reached out and began to pull the Depths to him, dragging a nearby island under the waves. Now he continues to improve his island home of Baikulo so that no Bai will have to suffer the loss of their possessions and face exile again.
