Keechoo

Keechoo is a player originating from Palovina, first appearing in Jagdas under the town of Rovina, where he preached Salmonism to all that would listen.

Background
Upon his arrival to the world of Rathnir, he quickly settled the town of Palovina, already drafting plans to found the nation of Paloro, meaning, "Golden Swamp", as he figured the majority of Haven was full of marshes. Upon his discovery of Sanctuary, the two together founded Paloro, that would slowly grow and consume the entire continent, forming the Empire of Uldarash within weeks. Keechoo would then go on to embrace his feat, as his former nation of Rovina had earned no citizens throughout the entirety of Jagdas' lifespan.

History
Keechoo does not hold a major history in the server, only through the politics of Haven. Most justification for any actions described below can be simplified down to the desire of making an impact on the server.

Early Days (Sep. 25-30)
In the early days of the server, Keechoo had no prior plan for what he would do other than expand, similar to his time in Jagdas. Knowing well that every town was an opportunity, Keechoo attempted to lure other players into founding a nation with him, planning to establish Palovina as a sparsely inhabited political capital, mostly for the reason he did not trust other players in his land. Searching for others, he would find Haven's Heart and sail frequently, pillaging what was unclaimed and trying to appear friendly to those that found him. Eventually, through use of the chat, he found Sanctuary, which would agree to join him under his own nation's idea of Paloro. Another player was funded to create a town named Truthless, but was never heard from after the day.

Soon enough, Keechoo recognized the importance of gold to the economy. As he was near the only portion of the mesa in the entire server, he quickly began to route out a way to travel there frequently. His first travels, though by modern means unsuccessful, were astounding in the gold yielded. This would lead to a secure stance on what Paloro needed to thrive.

Failing in Power (Oct. 1-Nov. 2)
The importance of the mesa was something Keechoo felt the need to emphasize, the further Paloro grew, and the further Ardat Mosul grew into Paloran politics. Understanding the issues that could come with a fully claimed mesa, and wanting to see a mesa town (other than Ardat Mosul) grow, Keechoo advocated for a Public Mesa area.

With this, came the founding of Uldarash. Keechoo was no longer the ruler, and held a much weaker claim now, but stated his acceptance with this and expressed his pride in his accomplishments. Though negotiations grew weary with Ardat Mosul, and Dalatra was recognized as a stingy ruler. No deals for where Uldarash planned to plant the public mesa were accepted, as they fell into Ardatian claims. Still wanting to see a public mesa become established, Keechoo designated a one-chunk area of the Uldarash mesa to be free for public use.

A member of Uldarash quickly griefed the portal to the only portion of free mesa, stating it to be entirely Uldarash territory. It was at this point that Keechoo decided to give up on the prospects of a public mesa. At the very least, one town was kept on the mesa, being Uldarash territory. But the mesa had now fallen out of Palovina's interests, and Keechoo decided to play with the idea of independence behind the scenes.

Verdanian Victory (Oct. 23-24)
On October 23rd, Keechoo had confronted The Stone Cult alongside two other Uldarashi officials, which were located in the Palovinan region of Verdania. Though the culture of Felsonsvhon's Landing, as they learned to call it, was so intriguing that Keechoo opted to build a wall to prevent others from disturbing them, and to define the border between the towns. The purpose of being a border, however, was soon found to be useless, as Felsonvhon eventually identified themselves as Palovinan citizens.

Keechoo, a day later, soon found himself experiencing firsthand the events leading up to TheRealJay and Cantheallmighty Incident, to which nearly caused a world war. The entire conflict was narrowly avoided when Keechoo pointed out what he heard, and found in the ingame chat the messages that were exchanged, leading to each nation quickly reestablishing their relations.

The Uldarash Uprising (Nov. 3-6)
Eventually, the Bardonian Illegal Mining Incident occurred. Overall, a complicated event, it's recommended to read the article rather than take the oversimplification. Upon patrolling the mesa, Bardonian mines are discovered, to which Uldarash saw an opportunity to prove their power to the world. After attempting to enforce their demands of being paid back what gold was likely lost, Uldarash saw no other alternative to war. Keechoo supported this war greatly, seeing Bardonia as a new, minor nation.

When the war turned out to be disastrous for Uldarash, in part due to them attacking first — going against Keechoo's ideals — he declared the independence of Paloro, taking Felsonsvhon with it. After solidifying the borders, Keechoo went on to become increasingly inactive for the next few months, though they still participated often outside of the server directly.

Paloran Independence
Keechoo's initial leadership of Paloro was largely relaxed. Laws were never made for the majority of his rule, and not much was ever solidified — only gentlemen's rules applied, and due to the small population (only two others inhabited Paloro at this time) it appeared successful. Participating in the Crescent Concordant later on, after Emperor WhiskeyKnight of Uldarash persuaded him to, he went on to design the flag before largely abstaining from much else, seeing as the faction appeared purely defensive in his eyes.

Around this time, Keechoo also bought Arkadia, leading in a small scandal where it was believed Paloro had laid claim to the Bardonian town. The dispute was quickly settled, and Arkadia was sold back — leading to a small Paloran embassy that lasted for a short period of time until the town had collapsed.

The Paloran Coup
Much later on, Paloro had received a population boom unlike any other. Jumping around from 3 to roughly 30 members in roughly a week. The majority of these new members went to a newly founded town under the name of Asahiri in Paloro, which led Keechoo to fear the town leader, Loic was organizing a revolt. In order to prepare, Keechoo drafted up laws to limit power and hopefully prevent any sort of revolt. This saw moderate success, but eventually Loic confronted Keechoo about giving up ownership of Paloro so that he could attempt to unify Haven under one banner. Fearing a war, Keechoo opened up negotiations with the former Crescent Concordant, including Uldarash, to back him. After it was confirmed force would be used if he did not abdicate, Keechoo gave up the throne — only to take it back a few hours later after coming across some legal issues regarding it.

This lead to Loic initiating a coup against Keechoo, to moderate success, until Keechoo discovered that Aurora and Uldarash were already planning a coalition against Loic. Eventually, Aurora sent an ultimatum to Loic, to which he accepted — putting Keechoo back on the throne, but then going on to burn Asahiri and flee to Viodoxa.

Sadly on April 30th 2021, Keechoo, died hopefully in peace.
