Oduru

Ae'nyř Ledyn "Oduru" Fynx is a maddrakki human and current King of the Third Holy Kingdom of Lutum.

Early life
Oduru's origin traces back to the Maddraki woods of Eldham. Oduru's biological father was human, however his lineage was intertwined with gnome ancestry through his mother's side who was a hybrid human-gnome. The first dozen years of his life unfolded as a grand journey, as his parents traversed the expanse of the Maddrak region. They were nomadic merchants who sold almost anything they could find.

However, disaster struck early in Oduru's life. as on one fateful day a tragedy occured. The nefarious hands of bandits not only robbed him of his cherished parents but also stripped away the riches of his family's possessions. Amidst the shadows of this sorrow, a new chapter emerged as Oduru found solace in the embrace of Dragkin666—a benevolent figure who adopted Oduru. Thus, Oduru became part of House Fynx, one of the biggest houses in house Lutum. For Oduru, a new lige begun and he was given a new name: "Ledyn Oduru Fynx."

Guided by the wisdom of Arthos, Dragkin's adoptive father and Oduru's nurturing grandfather, the name "Ledyn" was given. Rooted in the resonance of Maddrakki language, "Ledyn" comes from the word "dyn," bearing the weight of "money." The prefix "Le" means a wish for greatness. Therefore, "Ledyn" emerges as an epithet embodying the essence of "He who shall become rich."

Life as Mayor
Fynxshire, a bustling trade hub, had been the backdrop of Oduru's family's business for generations. So, it only made sense that he felt a magnetic pull towards this economic center, eventually deciding to settle there for good. The lesser-mayor, Yirak, extended a personal invitation that resonated with Oduru, prompting him to set up his own "Fynxshire shop" within the town. Despite its modest size, the shop achieved remarkable success, making its presence felt far beyond what its physical stature suggested.

When Yirak left his post as the mayor due to his involvement in a rebellion against the Yirsidan, a new phase dawned for Fynxshire. This juncture saw Oduru stepping up as a natural choice to fill the leadership void. Backed by the Lutum council, he assumed the role of mayor, a position he embraced with determination and vision.

During his time as mayor, Oduru's main focus was on fostering community growth. He rolled up his sleeves and worked to fill the vacant houses with new residents, breathing renewed life into Fynxshire's streets. His dedication transformed the town into a lively and closely-knit community.

As time flowed, Fynxshire and Port Lutum joined forces, giving birth to Haroshire. This union was triggered by the passing of Mayor Zastan II Fynx, an event that led to Oduru becoming the inaugural mayor of the merged town. His leadership marked a significant chapter in the town's history.

Years later, in the summer of 261 TE, at the age of 51, Oduru chose to step down from his role as the mayor. This decision paved the way for Nywell Fynx to take the reins and steer the town's future.

In the tale of Haroshire, Oduru's journey remained a testament to entrepreneurship, community building, and leadership. From a fledgling merchant to a respected mayor, his story added a meaningful thread to the town's evolving narrative.

Life as Minister
With his seasoned expertise in trade and commerce, Oduru recognized the opportunity to contribute his skills on a broader scale. He sought to expand his horizons by applying for the position of Niyaevor, a lesser minister of commerce, within the confines of Anglunia. His reputation as a shrewd merchant and his entrepreneurial prowess played pivotal roles in securing his acceptance into this role by the Ardivanyi Skynner Arbastor.

In his capacity as Niyaevor, Oduru undertook a multitude of responsibilities, each woven into the intricate fabric of Anglunia's economic framework. One of his most notable endeavors was nurturing the growth of Devrya, which emerged as the thriving nucleus of commerce within the realm.

As time coursed onward, the winds of change swept through the ministerial corridors. Skynner Arbastor relinquished his position, paving the way for Oduru's ascension to the title of Ardivanyi—the esteemed minister of commerce in Anglunia. This new role broadened Oduru's purview, bestowing upon him a more comprehensive range of tasks and obligations.

At the heart of his responsibilities was advising Dansiva Yinsaghal—a role entailing the distribution of governmental grants to the Onsyrs (mayors) who held sway over the varied corners of Anglunia. This task underscored Oduru's dedication to fostering prosperity on both the grand and grassroots scales, solidifying the bonds between the central administration and the local communities.

Interestingly, Oduru donned yet another mantle—that of the tax collector for Anglunia. This particular role carried a touch of irony, given the whispers that circulated about his own purported aversion to paying taxes, as well as the mysterious tales surrounding the vanishing acts of numerous tax collectors who dared to pursue their duty.

In the intricate dance of power and economy, Oduru's journey unfolded as a symphony of contradiction and success. From a Niyaevor with a vision for commerce to an Ardivanyi overseeing vast responsibilities, his tale was one woven from threads of ambition, pragmatism, and enigma, leaving an indelible mark on the economic tapestry of Anglunia.

Tax collector collector
Hailing from a lineage of traveling merchants, Oduru's family had long evaded encounters with what they perceived as overbearing tax collectors aiming to "confiscate their hard-earned wealth." This inclination to circumvent the grasp of tax collectors was a deeply ingrained facet of their lifestyle. When Oduru eventually settled into the statue-house in Lutumshire, a curious wave of rumors began to unfurl like tendrils, weaving tales of Oduru engaging in rather peculiar behavior.

Whispers of Oduru ensnaring tax collectors within the labyrinthine sewers of Lutumshire gained momentum. These tales painted him as a cunning figure who outwitted and trapped the very individuals tasked with collecting taxes. However, Oduru consistently refuted these stories, staunchly denying any involvement in such escapades. He maintained his innocence, asserting that these claims were merely the product of unfounded rumors.

Despite his protestations, the colorful narrative surrounding Oduru's supposed escapades earned him a peculiar moniker among the local populace. He came to be known as the "tax collector collector," a name that wove together irony and mystery, alluding to the dubious reputation he had inadvertently acquired. This nickname, born from the fertile ground of gossip and speculation, added a touch of enigma to Oduru's persona, becoming a thread in the tapestry of his story.

Berrism
After coming into contact with the local religion, Oduru became convinced of Da Berry's existence and became a member of the church.
