Early Life
Marble was born in the eastern regions of Eldham. As he grew so did his fascination with plantlife and farming, once he came of age he set out on a journey to explore and discover all new forms of plants to be cultivated. As he journeyed through the lands he met another Vul named Jovin Blackleaf. The two of them joined forces and explored together before starting to found a village in which to live under the nation flag of Stalis.

The Founding of Stalis and Subsequent Emigration to Vulpinia
After development began on the town of Brownwich, the two founders were contacted by Rando_Xen. He showed them the growing nation of Vulpinia, a nation built for the vul race. As relationships improved Marble joined Jovin in the Emigration to new Vulpinia and the nation of Stalis was subsequently disbanded. Soon enough Marble found his home in New Brownwich, where started experimenting with a certain species of wheat in the area.

Marble’s Wheat Filled Haze
As Marble started to grow his garden of wheat, he depended on it more and more for his main source of food. After a heavy binge of wheat filled meals he fell unconscious. He dreamed of an endless field of wheat, where he could see no end. In this dream he believed he saw the goddess Candea, looking down upon the wondrous field. When he woke up, he became convinced that the secret to eternal life could be found within the wheat plant. Immediately he set out to attempt to find this miracle strain of wheat.

A Field of Wheat
After this vision, Marble began expanding his wheat field obsessively, trying to produce as much as possible to mimic what he saw in his dream. Believing himself to be called by Candea, he pushed everything aside to achieve his goal, farming day and night, leveling the hills of the region to accommodate his plants. In this pursuit he pushed many away, including friend and compatriot Jovin Blackleaf.

After several months of work, the field encompassed an entire peninsula in the western region of Vulpinia. At this point in time he was approached by a concerned Jovin Blackleaf, who chastised him for his obsession, urging him to stop planting wheat and to seek healing. Marble, denied this and continued to research and tend to the fields in search of his fabled cure-all.

Disappearance of Blackleaf
After hearing about the disappearance of his beloved friend and ally Jovin Blackleaf, Marble descended into a deep period of mourning. Not touching the fields for several weeks. After his mourning Marble set out to find his friend. On September 30th 2021, he set sail, leaving his wheat field behind. He left the ownership of New Brownwich in the hands of Rando_Xen.

A Return To Vulpinia
In the midst of his journey, Marble received news that Jovin had returned. Delighted, he returned to the Vulperium on March 20th, 2022. After he returned and greeted his old friend, Marble got to work on a new project within the fields, renovating and planning. A new pep in his step with the return of his friend, he began to develop the fields into a large industrial city.

Development of New Brownwich
After returning to his fields he began to set a plan in motion to industrialize the fields, he began adding platforms for new buildings above the fields. After his return he seemed a lot more sane and level headed, not as wheat obsessed. He spoke of industry and business. Something still lurked inside of him, and the more time he spent in the field, the more he began to return to his former insanity.

As his insanity grew, it began to affect his ability to build up his industry, preferring to create future expansion of the fields, planning and muttering as he went. The town of new brownwich suffered as the old town was demolished to make way for platforms to support new buildings. These platforms were meant to hold the new town and make way for the wheat underneath, but in this time there was little development on living spaces and many citizens were displaced to Aroforn or the storehouse.

The Descent Into The Undervul
In the vul’s insanity clouded brain, he eventually wandered into a place of great untold danger. The Undervul at the time was a large cavern system that one could explore or even get lost in. Marble climbed down into it muttering about how he had been commanded by the gods to do so. Blackleaf followed him.

The pair were not seen for years, thought to be dead, taken by the Undervul’s confusing cavern systems, but eventually the two resurfaced, Marble on february 17th 2023, and blackleaf on march 17th 2023. Marble Resurfaced with newfound competency and revelation, Blackleaf with newfound knowledge and lore of the gods.

As marble returned, it seemed as if he had some sort of revelation while in the caves of the Undervul. He had not aged a day since his descent, and the way he carried himself indicated complete control of his mind and body. Marble claims that within the Undervul, he met with the gods in their realm. Was able to converse with them, see their glory firsthand. They helped him live and gave him renewed sanity. As he returned, he claimed Vuldeus tasked him with reclaiming vulpinia.

The Call To Action
Marble returned to Vulpinia, displeased at its current state, he saw many of her former allies leave her. Saddened, he sought to take hold and reverse Vulpinia’s trajectory. With the help of Ilyas Yocotl, they reformed the standing government, which placed Ilyas as the Valar and Marble as the Vierl to the throne.

Soon after this event took place, the nation had war declared upon it, forcing them to call on old allies to help, as their strength was not what it once was. They gathered help from Eleanor to protect the nation as internal work was to be done. Soon Ilyas abdicated the throne due to unknown reasons, leaving marble as the standing valar.

Unfamiliar with the role of leadership, marble attempted to bring growth to the nation, attempting recruitment, and working with the standing government to contact former allies to help. During his time as Valar, the population experienced a slow rise. Although inexperienced, marble was able to keep the nation alive and eager to thrive, but it seemed his time was running out.

As Vulpinia neared its vassalship, marble felt his strength wane. It seems he had fulfilled what was needed of him by the gods. He reached out to them with a plea that they will be there to help guide his only son, Whispo, in his valarship. Soon enough the gods came to take him, and he was waiting in the fields he had built for them.
