Archturious Talinthus

History in Aten --- Archturious Talinthus came to the holy city known as Aten at the age of 18. He lived there in peace and solitude worshiping the God Deus Helios for several years. Although as time passed by, the city was found by Athaz The Traveler. Athaz didn't like Aten, and didn't want a religious uprising within his borders. So in secrecy he spoke with the prophet Chazarios. Chazarios never told his followers about this conversation, and behind their backs he decided that he would take them and leave Aten. This information was leaked when Athaz realized that Chazarios hadn't told the people of Aten about any of the discussions. After this was leaked, many of the citizens did not like this and decided to stand in revolt. Thus began the occupation of Aten after a fierce debate between Chazarios and Archturious. Archturious Talinthus lead the revolting people of Aten, and after receiving a vision from Deus Helios he was known as the second prophet; as Chazarios the first prophet had been corrupted by the moon (The enemy of Deus Helios). Although in irony Chazarios told the people that still followed him that Arch had been corrupted by the moon to keep their support in the cause. After a debate with Athaz and Chazarios that lead nowhere, the time of the inevitable doom of Aten came near. As this time crept closer and Athaz had declared that Aten had risen their flags in revolt. Disaster struck. The people of Aten that stood with Arch were terrified and left. This left Arch alone to fight for Aten. Before the army of Athazolant came to Aten, Archturious received his second vision from Deus Helios. This one told him to flee and resettle somewhere else, where he could regain followers and make connections. So following Deus Helios' command Archturious fled Aten and sailed east for the cold tundra of the (former) UBSR. Where Arch would be tested the greatest. For in the cold tundra there was little sunlight and guidance, so he would have to fight off the temptations and corruption of the moon. ---

History in the UBSR

--- The time Archturious spent in the tundra was mostly unimportant but it gave him time to think, meet new people, and strengthen his resistance against the temptations of the Moon. Here he wrote several books about the origins of Deus Helios, because the former had been destroyed in Aten. Arch forced himself to go into exile for 2 years to test and harden himself, so instead of joining one of the cities in the UBSR, he set up a small tent in the middle of nowhere next to a mountain and a frozen pond. That tent served to give him somewhere to sleep and store things, without getting the comforts a house would award him. The days and weeks passed by peacefully and Arch met a few wanderers and exchanged stories with them. Some he even converted to Deus Helios. Arch despite living in horrid conditions, found comfort here. But this peaceful lifestyle would not last long. He was framed for stealing a shulker box from a farm, and with no evidence, several prominent figures from the UBSR came down to end his days. One of them named underscoregrog_ (I forgot the exact ign, I think that is what it was) had acted like the wanderers Arch grew fond of meeting. So without knowledge of what would happen next, Arch lead them straight to his camp. Once he and Grog had arrived, lighting struck everyone in the server at once. Grog let out a holler and 2 people came out from behind the mountains and entered the open tent. They backed Arch up to a wall with harming potions in hand. Archturious had nowhere to go and the treacherous leech Grog searched through his entire tent. After finding nothing Grog decided that Arch had already sold the shulker box and motioned for his minions to kill Arch. Arch managed to push through them and escape and ran for the frozen sea. The minions chased after him for a short time but gave up when they realized Arch could outrun them. So Archturious dispirited and still in shock sailed off, leaving his tent and coming out of exile.

--- In-between time --- In the time between leaving his tent after being chased out, and founding the grand city of Revaria. One of the biggest, and the most populous city in Aldovir; Arch turned into someone he wished he'd never had become. He became cynical and took to drinking his stress away. He became a common person at parties and bars. Sometimes he even supplied drinks for parties when they were running out of alcohol. After the lightning struck every player in the server Arch received no more visions from Deus Helios for quite some time, and started losing faith and stopped converting people to the supreme will of Deus Helios. Not much happened in these times and Arch became a wanderer that traveled through the barren lands, stopping only shortly in towns. Months later Arch received a new vision. This one was grand, and told of no tragedy. It told Arch to get himself back together and found a new city in the forgotten land of (former) Hinokuko and Shirakaba. Which ironically was bordering the place he originally fled, Athazolant. So he set off traveling many miles from the edge of Yimmu-Audal. --- Founding and building Revaria --- Many days of traveling through the rough sandy dunes of Yimmu-Audal, and climbing over mountains and hills. Arch arrived at the location that would become Revaria. Arch immediately started work, and began to hallow out a hill to create an underground city that worshipped Deus Helios. Revaria at founding was a theocratic city and had a very similar style of government as Aten. Within just days Arch dug out and decorated several huge rooms and created a layout for an underground market. Having completed what he wanted to build, now came the real task. To begin converting people to Deus Helios. The first days were slow, but Revaria continued to grow in size and population; and most of the citizens followed Deus Helios. In this time 2 main players joined Revaria, their names were Mikeytaco1 and Tonglutong. Mikeytaco1 would become the first person Arch felt comfortable calling a friend, and he was also the commander of Revaria's military for a short period. Tonglutong was the consul of Revaria and the minister of foreign affairs. In friendship, the three of them and a few others continued to build Revaria and convert more people to Deus Helios. This is when Revaria began to truly grow and prosper, some may call it a golden age for the Revarians. Revaria is still in this "golden age" and has come from its humble beginnings to become the biggest and most populous city in the Empire of Aldovir. --- Revaria during the founding of the Adavian Union --- Arch, considered the founder and leader of Revaria, played a crucial role in founding the Adavian union (now called the Kingdom of Adavia). Although Revaria initially being seen as a squatter town by many of the small local cities, it unified the land and turned the region from being a small, insignificant, and ignored part of the Rathnir. Into being one of the most developed and densely populated places in Rathnir. The Adavian Union was comprised of several small and mostly inactive towns. It was created to unite an ignored and underdeveloped land, and bring a new era of prosperity in which the region hadn't seen for hundreds of years. This plan worked, and Revaria and all the other cities joined the Union and immediatley grew in wealth and population. And both the Union and Arch achieved all the things they set out to do and become. Currently the Kingdom of Adavia is a state within the Empire of Aldovir. --- Arch at his highest point --- Archturious Talinthus was a very well known official in Aldovir and the Kingdom of Adavia. He was the grandmaster of the Adavian military, and he ran Revaria for ages, with Tonglutong being his second in command having nearly as much authority over Revaria as he does. He was engaged for a time and was to have the wedding on Halloween, but it was called off. He was given the land of a neighboring city called Kuclela by the leader Rogue_Smile, who is good friend of his in Rathnir. Arch made it a vassal city under the Revarian flag. Archturious has had plenty success in his religious goals, converting many to the will of Deus Helios. Revaria grew immensely and is no longer a underground city having a huge surface portion, and 2 separate underground portions. These days of prosperity however would not last. He made enemies in those who were once friends and constantly bicked and argued with others. Some say the start of his downfall began after his engagement was called off, or after he took down the ALP and Adavia had to focus on other areas. Which included many things in Revaria. --- The downfall to banditry --- Archturious became angry and made enemies with those he used to call friends. He realized this and decided to step away from Adavian politics after receiving multiple death threats and having arguements with his once friends. Archturious traveled across nearly all of Rathnir going on many adventures. He also made Deus Helios a truly famous religion now with nearly fifty members. During this time Arch became known as a masterful traveling swordsman after several displays of his skill with the blade. He eventually settled down in Thalassii and instantly became the marshall of the military there. He also became the hand of the emperor of Almmore. He was one day contacted by a prominent assassin in Rathnir, offering to teach him the way of banditry. Despite his many achievements, Archturious was dirt poor and had lost everything he had ever worked for several times. So he took up the assassins offer and was taught how to kill quickly and efficiently. Archturious now with knowledge of how to gain back what was once his, joined his friends in the Jaegers (mercenary group), and decided to become a bandit rivaled in skill by none. Although this was his plan, even his old friends in the Jaegers wouldn't have him. They threw him out of the merc group and left him to fend for himself. This only fueled his anger more. --- The Talinthus family --- Archturious Talinthus (Father) Viskin Talinthus (Adopted) Archturious Talinthus II (Biological) Tyro Talinthus (Adopted) ---
