Nigxl

Nigxl of Jeghosia, was the Sky Seer of all Jeghosi and the Keshra of Rodheros since his 25th year of life and until his death only 5 years later.

Early Life
Nigxl was born in a small hut somewhere in the western Savannah (a.k.a. Varthalos) of the Subcontinent of Aldovir, being a part fo Sironia at that time. He was the son of one of the last Jeghosi tribes which was hiding after the Jeghosi Exodus from the Babariens in the south which often came by to raid the remaining Jeghosi folks.

As a child, he was often visiting hilly part of Varthalos with his comrades, where boys played various adventure games. Especially some old diorite ruins on the hill above some destroyed abandoned ghost town were especially attractive for them. At that time they didn't know, it had been the old temple of Sakrelith from the age of Sagaviri Empire, and they were calling the spot just "Home Depot" according to the name of Sironian most prosperous store in Aldovir located nearby, on the same hill.

One day as the at that time 10 years old Nigxl was taking care of the vegtables in his backyard he heared the neigh and the gallop of horses swiftly approaching him. Startled, he looked up at the riders blinded by the sun. As the riders were coming nearer he realised that they had machetes in their hands and burning tochres. Nigxl stood up and and ran into the house trying to warn the rest of his family but it was already too late. The riders set fire to the roof of the hut and as the scared family was fleeing out of the house. The Babarians captured one person after another, decapitated all the men, plundered all their few belongings and took the women and children as prisoners. Nigxl was seperated from the rest of his family and brought to the home town of the Babarians.

Once Nigxl arrived in the port town of Maqberg, which also happend to be the first modern town which Nigxl ever got to saw he was being put up for sale. At first it looked like he would be sold somewhere to Plagos to become a servant for a royal family until suddenly a person by the Name of Sir Meows saw the scared Nigxl and had pity for him. Nigxl was than sold to SirMeows who would free Nigxl and bring him to Kalasirol, where Nigxl would be raised until the age of 20.

Life in Kalasirol
The life in Kalasirol for Nigxl was carefree and relaxed. Since no one ever taught Nigxl how to read or write and he was only speaking a unknown Jeghosi dialect which no one understood he was give intesive educational tutoring and by the age of 15 he was said to be fluent in Sagaviri, while always keeping a strong Jeghosi accent until his death. He also would find many friends in Kalasirol such as Mad or Koekie.

On one of the history lessons he was taking, his history teacher called Rodherodotos was telling an interesting history about Jeghosi and their old capital named Rodheros, and on the picture teacher was showing students, Nigxl recognized the old ruins where he was often playing as a child, so he was eager to learn more. He bombarded the teacher with questions, and the teacher was happy, because Rodheros was also his matter of the heart - in fact, he has chosen his name "Rodherodotos" to express how much the place was important to him, and he believed, former glory of Rodheros shall be recovered. And Nigxl decided to personally take care of bringing this belief into reality.

Arriving in Rodheros
Since Nigxl lost his family and home at the age of 10 he always wanted to come back to that very place at some point but Sir Meows who was to Nigxl like a father always warned him to go out of the protective walls of Kalasirol into the very dangerous wasteland of the western Savannah. Once Nigxl turned 18 he decided even tough he the warnings of Sir Meows to organise an exploration to ruins of the once prosperus Grand capital of Jeghosia: Rodheros. Together with Mad of Sironia he rode with horses to the ruins of Rodheros. In the memoirs of Nigxl were found several drawings of how Rodheros looked like when they arrived:

Study & Travels around Rathnir
When Nigxl was 20, his nursing father Sir Meows introduced him to his Galadonnian friend Ernst VenIshtara, who was a diplomat for Sironia-Galadonn relations during that time. Sir Meows knew about Nigxl's big dream to bring Jeghosia back to life, and he also knew, it won't be possible without some politics. Word gave word, and they agreed Ernst will take Nigxl under his wing, Ernst will take care of Nigxl's political studies, and will take Nigxl with him to his diplomatic voyages around Rathnir. Nigxl and Sir Meows said goodbye each other and Nigxl started his 5-year mission, to study and boldly go, where no Jeghosi has gone before... or at least him, as he never left Sironia before, and now he got and seized the opportunity to visit, see, and experience important places like Urnu-Arrak, Dorrasterock, or Lilleanen, with his teacher Ernst.

Return to Rodheros
Nigxl returned to Sironia when he was 25 with master's degree in political sciences, with specialization on management of self-government and revolutions. Sir Meows already pre-negotiated Nigxl's claim for settlement in Rodheros with chancelor Madhurthr Havardr, so Nigxl just signed the papers on his return and started to work on his Jeghosi restoration dream in Rodheros the very next day. Some time after that, Andronikos Constantine and his companion Erik joined him, and Madhurthr also helped with houses rebuilding time to time. Their Rodheros repopulation agency was running at full throttle, and an influx of immigrants started: Rodheros was attracting not only original Jeghosi and their progeny scattered around the world as an aftermath of Exodus of Jeghosi, but also other ethincities unrelated to Jeghosi.

There are books in the Library of Rodheros, describing that period in more detail.

The successful period lasted next 5 years, until the war came, and 30 years old Nigxl was presented with a difficult dilemma ...

Nigxl's Choice
There is an official version (referenced above) what happened during that turbulent times, which is specifically mentioned in "Return of Jeghosi" by collective of authors (the book also available in the Library of Rodheros). But here is Nigxl's viewpoint, how he thought, and why he decided as he decided and carried out, based on a letter Nigxl had written before his death:

"My name is Nigxl, Sky Seer of all Jeghosi, and this is the explanatory narration of my actions during the civil war ... TBD."


 * signed with his own hand: Sky Seer Nigxl of all Jeghosi

Nigxl's Legacy
According to official sources, Nigxl reportedly died, which should have been a consequence of his infamous engagement in the war. There is also a less official and more detailed version of his "death" in the book "Return of Jeghosi" referenced above, which opens up even more unanswered questions. The fact is, the final destination of his corpse is unknown and the death certificate was not submitted, although requested by the public.

In addition, reportedly there is a leaked report by Sironvir secret service, that Nigxl had his let's say "spiritual followers", and there is some underground cult forming around his controversial figure, a "traitor" for some, but the "legend" and a "chosen one" for the others. There are burning candles, bouquets, and the twigs or wreaths of acacia leaves appearing in front of his house in Kalasirol out of nowhere during the nights around his birthday, around supposed date of his death, and especially around a date when he returned to Rodheros and started its revival. The same is happening in front of his house in upper Rodheros, even after the entire town district in which the house was located was demolished ... and the quantity of these manifestations increases year by year ... not to mention that the illegal trade with icons depicting Nigxl, and with other relics related to him, is growing, mainly around the old "Home Depot" site in upper Rodheros. It's hard to catch the culprits, as if the wind warned them or what ...

Andronikos and his team including Erik, Ernst, and others continued with the restoration and repopulation of Rodheros even after the war, as elaborated in the history of Rodheros and they all felt it that way, that the spirit of Nigxl never departed Varthalos ...
