Melthir

Melthir, also known as Yunus, is a half elf, half human hunter. He holds a high-ranking position in the Order of the Red Quaterstaff. He boasts a long military history, acts as an advisor in the Emirate of Najer, being appraised by the Emir for his leadership abilities and been granted titles by them. He's most comfortable in his position as a soldier and important logistician in the Emirate. Melthir of Sibkea was born to Tiraniel and Soosandabash north of Jaked'adh and inherits his fathers tall stature, standing far above his comrades at 1,89m.

Personality

Melthis is an inherently calm person, gracious when in a good mood, often generous to the less fortunate people of Sibkea. He values his people and his town more than himself and has been shown to have 2 main sides of his personality. One is generous and hospitable, adhering to a set of honorable principles and ideals, heavily influenced by his parents' strict teachings. His other side is less decisive, often wavering from his ideals and is triggered in the midst of distress or on the battlefield. This personality however doesn't rear its head very often, as Melthir has learned to control this emotional turmoil. Melthir's ideas are often so intriguing to him that he turns into a somewhat obsessive perfectionist, leaving nothing to chance. This quality spurs him on in his cheese and jam making.

Pre-Lore
Not much is known about the childhood of Melthir, but his father, Soosandabash was from Kijaro. He apparently wandered into the "Forbidden Forest" as the Kijaro people called it, and in his visit he found a Glade Elf. He prepared to draw his sword as he had heard stories of the spirits that inhabit the woods, spirits that may be the minions of the evil goddess Malice. He believed that the Glade Elf was just a trick to lure him into unawareness so the goddess could kill him. So he stood. With his right hand placed firmly on the hilt of the sword, he shouted: "Who are you? Are you one of the minions of the horrid goddess Malice? do you wish to lure me to my death?", a soft voice replied: "I am not here to end your life." As Soosandabash turned swiftly around, he saw an Elf, which seemed friendly towards him and she said: "You need not worry, you are safe here." Soonsandabash asked the elf who she was to which she answered calmly "I am Tiraniel, a Glade Elf and you don't need to worry, I am not here to harm you." And as they start to knew each other more, they eventually came closer as days passed by. One day, Tiraniel heard rumour that there was a man "from outside" in the forest, but the Elf King would have none of it, saying that no one can enter Elmwood so easily. When Tiraniel warned Soosandabash, they were unfortunately spotted. Soon after, Tiraniel heard, that there were hunters on the search.As she went back to her friend, she sayid: "They are coming." And so he asked: "Why do you seem so worried about that, aren't the Elves friendly?",but Tiraniel just said: "We need to go, I will tell you later." And so they went. But just as they wanted to leave, three Glade Elves surrounded them and began attacking Soosandbash, he drew his sword and began to fight them off. While fighting the duo slowly left the forest. While retreating, he was shot in the leg. But through the pain he fought, even with the wound gaping he managed to slay the foes. The couple, now deeply in love, eventually married and Tiraniel birthed a strong mixed race child, Melthir.

Chapter 1: The Escape
As Melthir traveled around Najer, he made friends along the way, but as he and his friends reached a land which controlled by bandits, they were ambushed and Melthir was knocked unconcious, the fate of his friends unknown. Melthir only remembers waking up in a place, where he was held captive. During the imprisonment, he was being treated badly, as the thugs wanted a ransome to release Melthir. He wasn't planning to give up however. As soon as the night came, he planned his escape. As he looked around searching for a way to free himself, he saw a bright shine reflecting from a object. When he looked through the window, he saw that there was a Prismarine Shard at the aperture, which was made out of a dark oak fence. He couldn't get it so easily though as his hands were tied with a lead to a fence, which was embedded in the thick stone wall. As he looked again, he decided that the time was right to break himself free off the rope and to escape the prison. He knew that the lead was strong though, so he moved himself slowly and used his head to move the shard out of the way. He suffered a wound from that, as the shard cut him, but now he was able to pull the shard back with his foot and soon Melthir was able to free himself from the lead. He couldn't escape from the cage since it was around 30 meters above the ground. He decided to hide, next to the door and wait. As some hours went by, a bandit came inside the cell to bring his food but then he saw no one, except for the lead that has been cut. As he wanted to alert the others, Melthir grabbed his throat and before the bandit had a chance to defend himself, he was choked until he was unconcious. Melthir grabbed his knife from the pocket and ran towards the exit. But as another bandit noticed him, he blocked his way of escape. As Melthir fought for his life, the bandit inflicted a deep wound on his back, but Melthir managed to stab the bandit in the throat and ran towards the wilderness. As he ran, his vision started to get blurry, as blood eased out from the wound of his back. Even though he made a bandage made out of leaves to slow down the bleeding, it wasn't enough and as he ran towards the beach, his sight turning dark completely.

Chapter 2: The Travel through the Wilderness
Melthir woke up on a stoney island. A knight approached him covered in unenchanted diamond armor. Melthir asked: "Where am I?" The Lord answered: "You are in TeaLand. I have found you when you were unconcious and so I brought you here. Would you like to live here?" Melthir agreed, and so the island became his new home, he spend time farming and chopping down trees. The Lord gave him some diamonds saying: "Use them, we may go to war soon. Make armor out of them." Melthir went into the wilderness to mine some more. As he mined through, he fell into a lava lake and respawned in a field he didn't know. Having no clue how to go back, he wandered hopelessly making basic tools. He called out to help, but no one answered. He was kicked from on of the lands. He was disappointed by that, but he decided to move on. He walked through the plains of Rathnir for days while searching for food as he started to weaken because of malnutrition. Nobody was willing to help him. He hoped to get to a town or to live out of animals, but settlements were too far away and animals where nowhere to be found. He was soon starving, so he could only slowly traverse through the harsh wilderness But the hope that Melthir had, motivated him to go on. As he was sleeping one night, he had a vision of someone who spoke: „''You will end up in a land, where you are safe. Just don’t give up.''“ After that, he woke up and and went out wandering with renewed hope, that someone would help him. When he called out again, his call was heard by somebody from Dead King's Tavern, which was visited by some hunter at that time, named Nutpirom. Melthir was suspicious about him, fearing that maybe he will try to kill him, but after nutpirom gave him some baked potatoes, he was so thankful, that he decided to trust the stranger. Nutpirom asked if he could come with him and Melthir accepted. As Melthir went with him to a nutpriom's shelter. After he was well-rested and has gotten new clothes, he asked for a place to mine, only to be guided a place near Storm Tree. Soon, Melthir recived a message saying that he can be assigned a home.

Chapter 3: The Order
As he went to the Capital of the Order, he was impressed with Campus's architecture, seeing the walls and so on and after he got inside, he saw the Leader and bowed to him, not knowing who he was. And the Leader's name was Azzar, and he looked like a mage or something to Melthir. After the greeting he was given the Order's banner and some baked potatoes, but Melthir had his inventory full and so he threw some dirt and such to pick them up and after that Azzar assigned him a apartment and after that he became a member of the Order of the Red Quarterstaff and had a home now, where he settled in. He said at first that he wanted to stay here for a bit, but that turned out to be permament as he had a house noe and so he started organizing his stuff. After some time Azzar gave him some products and it was Russian Vodka, Red Wine and maybe another alcoholic drink saying: "Some local products" and after thanking him, he left leaving Melthir alone. As he saw that, he felt thankful and so he wanted to start contributing to the Order. He started mining again and was eventually a miner. As he mined again, he saw just coal and iron again, but also some gold which he sold at a price at a shop which was like a mid-sized market where I can sell a gold ingot for 200 gold coins and 5 iron ingots for 250 gold coins and he went mining afterwards. He thought also about enchanting only to realize that he dosen’t have much exprience for enchants and so he went mining. He began also to fish and teleported to the wilderness and with the same thing back to the Order and so he stored his items that he found. But then he remembered who his friends were, but he didn't know their fate. He was worried about them and wanted to find them, and re realized that they may have died and that he can't figh the bandits now to avenge them, so he came to the realization that they might have died and got back to Campus to rest. At the next day He saw a neighbor that was Kaja and they greeted eachother, but they went different ways. Meanwhile Melthir was fishing for enchantment books and found some, and started to store them for future enchanting of his gear. But as he was mining, he saw an Angelchest from Egap but he wasn’t interested in that and mined more coal and lapis along with some iron. As he came out he heard a rumor that Melthir was a bandit, a thief who stole his items. But some members oft he Order said that it couldn’t be him because he wasn’t a bandit but rather just a miner. And Melethral enchanted his sword and wanted to defend himself if Egap would come but it was jokingly, but the thing is  that he thought that Sharpness was Smite and he got back to fishing after someone said that Smite was useless and then after some time a pigeon arrived and Egap said that he looted the mine a bit and he mined gold, redstone and so on but then after Melthir want was mining something happened.

As he was mining, a member approached him and said: „Do you know that it turned dark?“ Melthir answered: „What do you mean?“ And as he saw that the sky was dark and filled with complete darkness, and the flowers began to die slowly, along with animals and plants. The Order tried to solve the Problem with torches but it didn’t worked aswell. The wood and crop prices skyrocketed and Melthir started to worry, since it wasn't so dark before. He said to himself: „Which god is so evil, that it wants to corrupt Rathnir?“, and after some time  as he traveled, he saw people, that it could be a evil God, who wants to corrupt Rathnir, but Yunus didn’t care for a few days, before he saw that he needed to save his resources, so he started to consume his wood slowly and also he started to consume more fish since they were the ones who weren’t affected by the night. Actually the Order’s diet changed because the normal diet of Baked Potato wasn’t available since the prices were pretty high, like the prices were 2-times yesterday and it was 15-times after 1 week, but the Order had luckily stores of food, so it didn’t affect them. He mined even more and fished more books, business as usual. He had not so much money but he had around I.O.U’s of 20-25,00 gold coins. But the bees started to die and the population plummited. People started to suffer aswell and many prayed that the sun should come back, but not he eternal darkness stood stand, as people died. But After 2 weeks people got adapted and started to fish more, building underground farms and so on so the diets were back to normal. And yes baked potatoes came back, because the Tower of Gods produced a lot of food and nurished the Order so Campus at least, I did know a bit about Pomjad at this point but it wasn’t quite interesting at that time for me at least. But then something happened, the sun came back first but disappeared again but then at a morning, the sun came and some said that it was Lux, who brought the sun back, but others said something different, but the sun came back and everything was normal at most.

Chapter 4: The Rise
After the darkness, few months have passed and Melthir found a mysterious book, while fishing which he sold the book for at a good price at the auction house along with some other books. He also won the lottery and slowly but surely he was rich at around 100k worth of gold coins in several dozen I.O.U’s and he lost money but won the lottery and then some time later, he won another one. He made also a maxed bow, a good sword and he was nearly coming at the peak of his wealth. He wanted to buy a new piece of ingot which was coming from the depths of a hellish place called „The Nether“ or „Nether“ as everyone called it. And it was rich of gold and quartz, which Melthir mined a decent amount out of it with his diamond pickaxe that had a enchantment called „Fortune“ and he had another enchantment that gave him way more speed, while mining. . He also helped to design the palace and was promoted for his service which motivated him to help the Order more and he enchanted his armor, which made him stronger then ever but it was expensive, but still he was happy with his life. He also got along with some of the Order members as he slowly became richer and he had a lot of enchantment books. He started thinking about how to organize his items, so he stored some items in order to sell it more. He also thought about producing products and how to learn brewing so how to make drinks basically. But then he got a message that a new town called Sibkea was newly brought under the Order’s control and Melthir went to Sibkea and made a storage of acacia. He used it as a storage for items at first, but he wanted to make an animal farm but then disaster came as the animals died. The flesh was decayed and black blood came out of the corpses, Melthir tried to solve it but they still died of the disease, and he had to try another solution as it became too costly to him, to buy more animals from the shop. He searched through all of his books, but didn't found a solution. And since the chicken are the ones who get infected first, Melthir thought of having some cows and sheep, by letting them more space and he butchered the chickens that still lived and made a bigger area for sheep and chicken. But eventually they died too so Melthir then thought of turning the old animal into a small pumpkin and a small melon farm and leaving a area for the sheep so that he would still get wood from them. And so he destroyed the old cow farm and made the melon, pumpkin and the sugar cane farm. And that was better, since he dosen't had to give a lot of money anymore for a project that was very expensive for him and made no income, because the plague ruined that every time, if one animal got infected. Yunus eventually learned how to make drinks, as Ardebram gave him the knowledge how to make drinks and sure enough Melthir got obsessed with brewing over time, making drinks and trying to expriment but murky distillate came out and he tried it, but it was poisonous and it almost killed him, if he didn’t drank the tea consisted out of healing plants which saved him from dying. As he got more exprienced with brewing, he thought how to use Sibkea's potential as a place for making drinks and then as he woke up the next day, he had a idea how to expand Sibkea's production of drinks. He thought: „How about I make a big aging and a storage area for Sibkea, so that we can age all drinks?“ And soon enough he made the place, he first made the oak part, then the others but he struggled with wood. Luckily he heard that a citizen from Pomjad wanted to earn diamonds as a lumberjack, so after a few days he went to Pomjad and met a citizen called Fennzi. He said that he was the one who wants to earn diamonds as a lumberjack, so Melthir gave him a offer. He could bring wood to him in exchange for some diamonds. For every 16 logs he gives, Melthir will give him 1 diamond and he accepted the offer. That was good for Melthir, as he heard that Fennzi wanted to earn some diamonds and Melthir needed wood for his project. so that was a win-win for both sides, one got Diamonds and the other got wood to build his project. And day by day he struggled sometimes but after 4 days it was finished, so the compartments and then 1-2 days later the storage was finally finished, which should house alcohol for Sibkea and used for mass-production. After that there was a Najer meeting, and Melthir thought as he woke up after a hangover: „Oh no, I am late for the meeting.“ He thought to never drink too much again next time, so he ran all the way to Campus to realize that no one was there. So he grabbed some Strong Coffee and exited the gates of Campus and rushed to Wobambi. As he rushed there, he notices that there was open sea and so he crafted a boat and got through the sea to the other side, so to have a quicker route. After he sailed for some time, he went off drank the Coffee and ran through the pathways that were out of stone slabs. As he was in a hurry, he accidentally went to the gates of Phinos but decided to take another way and this time he went the right way, he went through Ajek Point and over some ways, before arriving at Wobambi. As he was there he searched in a hurry and went to the Palace, thinking that he was disapointing the Order because he was late but as he arrived at the Palace and then to the throne hall, he was late. After he had apoligzed that he was late, he noticed that the Order's section was full and so he had to sit at the sandstone near it, it was a bit awkward but the meeting went on smoothly.

Chapter 5: The Dark Night
As many weeks have passed, Melthir eventually went to a place called Elmwood there, as a part of the Order's mission but then he noticed strange looks as he went in. The Glade Elves seem to look at him strangely. The King greeted him normally tho and Melthir helped there for some time, before returning home. But why was he looked upon strangely by the Glade Elves as he thought about that. He said to himself: "Was there anything, that might let them look at me strangely?". He knew that he had a Elven name but he was not sure and so he decided to ignore the thoughts. So basically Life was good, even is he is still poor he still contributed to the Order and went to Pomjad to look there, but then he got an offer as he was bringing cows to Pomjad. Azzar offered him to become Chief Komtur so to be the highest Major or the Major of Campus and Yunus said that he wanted to think about it and then he decided tob e the Chief Komtur and got promoted. But after that, Melthir feeled a strange thing. The sky got darker then usual and as he along with several other members of the Order were in Campus Ordo, there was all odf a sudden a dark aura and they heard mobs on top of it. As they went there, they were a lot of Vindicators. And as they tried to fight them, they had some success at first but eventually they were pushed back to the basement. Some even fell down 200 meters to the ground and had to respawn. After that tho, the next waves were more vindicators and after that, they vanished. They went on top of it only to see another mob wave approaching. But this time the Order managed to heold off the attack, retreating to a place, where they had a defensive line (sort of)at they came vexes and Ghasts. As Melthir stood at the Tower, he used his bow and shot at the Vexes and at some ghasts, before he had to respawn and went back to the Tower. The battle went on and on but then the God showed his presence, by making everyone blind with his aura. Melthir thought: "What is this?", as he went back with the help of his senses. And then nothing else came, except some mobs but nothing else. But then everyone talked about sacrifies to please the Gods. And the Order decided to choose Egap to sacrifice him. They built an altar, where Egap should lay down but it didn't went on so smoothly. First as Egap was given alcohol he was too drunk and in the second attempt, he couldn't lay down for some reason. Melthir asked if he could be the sacrifice, but Azzar declined and so after some hard attempts, Egap was sacrificed in a honorable way.

Chapter 6: The Aftermath
After that, Melthir started to give more attention towards Sibkea. Months passed and Melthir made a bamboo farm and introduced Jungle trees to Sibkea and made a jungle compartment and a crimson one afterwards. Sibkea started also to develop more and a bee farm was build along with the new brewery. Melthir wanted new members, but the members didn't want to come. He waited and waited and then as he was about to lose hope, the unthinkable happened. The first member joined, then the second one and then there were so many more that Sibkea needed to make new houses, and they made some but the growth was shortlived however. After some months there was a Najer meeting and Melthir thought that the Order would be filling their place again, but he was shocked what he saw. Only he and Azzar were representing the Order and Melthir thought: "What happened to the Order and also to Najer?" since there were also not so many Najer attending the meeting and after the meeting, Melthir decided that the Order should not let to rot and decided to grow Sibkea into the most important town in Najer, or so he thought. He started advertizing and soon enough be was successful at first, as many members joined Sibkea and Melthir was happy, to see that it grows. And as it grew he also went to Elmwood to strengthen his ties there. He got along with the King and he got more popular there, but he can not forget the looks that mostly the older Glade Elves gave to him. And as he went to his home there, he made himself cozy there for somewhile and as he wanted go go out, he levitated and got smited. He fell to ght ground, feeling dizzy and his eyes were blinded by the light for several seconds, but he eventually recovered and after that he want to, he was like: "What is this town." The town has walls out of sandstone and was right at the Kijar mountains. As he went beside the walls, he heard a voice: "Who are you and what leads you here?" Melthir turns around and sees a Najer at the walls, with a bow in his hand and Melthir says afterwards: "I am not a bandit, if you thought I was one. I am from the Order, and thus so a fellow Najer." and as he says so, he proves that by showing the shield with the Order banner on it. The Najer came down, opening after Melthir offered him some Forest Berry Tea. And after they greeted each other, Asdrubal offered Melthir a tour through Kijaro, which he accepted and Melthir found that Kijaro was a nice town and he liked the architecture there, as it was unique for him in comparison to Sibkea. And after that Melthir said: "Thank you for the tour. And as a sign of kindness, I have something for you." And after saying that he gave him a brewing book, that was a copy of the book, that Melthir had, and thus after wishing themselves farewell, Melthir got back to Sibkea. And that started the good ties between Sibkea and Kijaro, as Melthir made also contact with Warden, strengthening the ties with Kijaro and Sibkea. And that turned into more like a friendship between these towns, as after some time a shop opened in Sibkea and a shop from Sibkea opened in Kijaro. And Sibkea grew even more but as there was a war against Alamayn, Melthir recived the news that they will fight at Alajazzir but soon he recived a news, that the battel was won by them, that it was brutal and Melthir was shocked at this, that the SC have lost. Whenever the less he saw the battle as a honorable one as he heard that both sides fought with no toxicicity, but he was also saddened that the SC dissolved shortly after. Melthir now wants to bring Sibkea into an Golden Age and help strengthen Najer
