Ze Alaric Thalos

Ze Alaric Thalos, often simply referred to as 'Ze' or 'Ze Alaric,' is a player in Rathnir. His journey is marked by heroism and a deep connection with the mythical sword Aetherius. After the Second Desolation of Grimeguard,  Ze Alaric moved out of Yimmu-Audal. He was recruited into Fjörgyien, where he lives nowadays.

Origin
Ze's origins trace back to the town of Grimeguard, located in the region of Alteniquia on the realm of Rathnir. He emerged as the Hero of Grimeguard, a protector of his beloved town, and a symbol of hope for it's citizens.

Hero of Grimeguard
Grimeguard, once a thriving hub of civilization, faced a catastrophic event known as the "Day of Desolation." Ze valiantly defended the town but, ultimately, Grimeguard was nearly destroyed, and many of its inhabitants perished. This event marked a turning point in Ze's journey, as he resolved to rebuild Grimeguard and honor its legacy.

After the Day of Desolation, the town began to rebuild, slowly but steadily. Ze worked tirelessly alongside the survivors, bringing Grimeguard back from the brink of annihilation. New structures rose from the ashes, and the shattered streets began to regain their vitality.

However, Rathnir was a world fraught with challenges, and peace was always a fleeting illusion. Grimeguard faced another perilous chapter in its history when a new threat emerged, more formidable and relentless than any before. A second wave of enemy forces, fueled by malevolence and a thirst for revenge on the deaths, descended upon the town once again. Despite all the courage from Ze and all the remaining inhabitants of Grimeguard, the city fell.

Quest for Aetherius
One of the defining chapters in Ze's story is his quest to obtain the mythical sword Aetherius. This legendary blade, shrouded in mystery and possessing elemental powers, became a symbol of Ze's unwavering determination and heroism.

The quest took Ze deep into the treacherous Stormpeak Caverns, a perilous labyrinth of elemental challenges and guardians. After overcoming numerous trials and adversaries, Ze successfully claimed Aetherius as his own. This legendary sword chose Ze as its wielder, forming an unbreakable bond between hero and weapon.

Career
Throughout his journey, Ze accumulated several titles and roles, each signifying his importance in Rathnir's history. Ze's heroic actions during the Day of Desolation solidified his reputation as the Hero of Grimeguard, a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity. Thunderkeep, a majestic fortress, became Ze's stronghold and a symbol of his authority as the Lord of Thunderkeep. Recognized for his diplomatic skills, Ze was appointed as the Emissary of Unity, fostering alliances and resolving conflicts across different little towns in former Yimmu-Audal. Ze's combat prowess and ability to wield Aetherius earned him the title of Stormblade, a master of lightning and the elements.
