Ythar II

Archon Ythar II is the longest-serving Anra of Sironvir and Archon of the Sakrelist faith, reigning from his ascension to the Emerald Throne in the spring of 53 TE to his abdication in 283 TE, a period of 230 years. Although his tenure has been marked by many conflicts and issues both inside and outside Sironia, he has cemented his legacy since founding the National Reclamation Government by keeping Sironia's towns active and loyal, outlasting even Yimmu-Audal.

Early Life
Ythar was born as Yatoslav in Ryzan. His childhood was marred by constant conflict between Ryzan and Bardonia, and his family often moved between villages to avoid Bardonian raiding parties. Eventually, their luck ran out, and his parents were shot with arrows during a siege. Around this time, Yatoslav first began to have vivid dreams and visions of Sakrelith. During the next raid, he retreated into the woods and prayed, and the Uncreated One gifted him a copy of the Book of Ataron. Sakrelith also instructed him to build a small house of worship, and without even realising it, he built a model Tabernacle. After some time living alone in the woods, he spoke to Sakrelith, asking for a purpose in life. The God directed Yatoslav to the coastline, and he told him to become a stowaway on a ship traveling to Lumaire. However, the ship he was on unexpectedly made a stop at Ardat for inspection, so he quickly jumped off and spent the week mining in Ardat. After being discovered by the authorities, he fled onto a cargo vessel headed for Carvay. Once Yatoslav arrived at Carvay, he prayed to Sakrelith once more and asked for forgiveness for travelling to Carvay instead of Lumaire. Sakrelith said to him that he had not made any mistake and directed him to a private vessel headed for the land of Sagavir. He was able to buy his way aboard and arrived in Azethvir a few days later.

Once he was in Azethvir, he met the bartender who would later become Co-Archon along with him - Cassy Wintersun. As a disheveled late teen foreigner with nothing else to do, Yatoslav soon became an alcoholic, and one night became so drunk he staggered all the way out of the city without knowing it and fell asleep inside a windmill with an unlocked door. Once he woke up, completely disoriented and unaware of surroundings or location, Yatoslav walked into the nearest town, Rowunrua. He met the local Mayor and was able to buy an apartment with the last of his Ardatian gold, and began work as a Forager, exploring and collecting resources from the countryside. One day, he stumbled upon the road back to Azethvir, and his curiosity overcame him. He spent the day exploring the city and was about to return to Rowunrua when he came upon the Sanctum of the Scholar. He prayed through the night and sacrificed his old Book of Ataron at the Tomb of the Prophet Temion. At this moment, Sakrelith revealed to Yatoslav that he was a relative of the Prophet Temion and therefore a Prophet-Descendant who was worthy to rule the nation of Sironia.

After spending some time in the nearby Sironian National Library, he uncovered the documents that proved one of his ancestors, the only great-grandchild of Temion, had emigrated to Ryzan, and also his family tree, stretching all the way to his father. After returning to the Tomb to thank Sakrelith, Yatoslav was surprised when he was told he needed to save Sironia. After walking into town and puzzling over the meaning of this, he heard the town crier shout: "Archon Mikuhr is dead in Thelisverhal! Sironvir is without a King!" During the chaos that ensued, he met with Cassy once more and they decided to both claim the Emerald Throne as Co-Archons to prevent anyone else from seizing power. The National Sironian Reclamation Government was founded, and Yatoslav changed his name to Ythar.

National Reclamation Government
The collapse of the great hall of Thelisverhal had buried Mikuhr and much of the government deep underground, and as the Sironian population had collapsed during Mikuhr's Plague, Ythar and Cassy had to do many more jobs than normally required. As Cassy grew older, Ythar had to do many more jobs alone and eventually became the sole de facto leader, with Cassy being holed up in her apartment and slowly succumbing to Mikuhr's Plague.
