Miliu Xe'lousi

Miliu X. Proclan-Hapaqalchi is a Lhûren citizen of Nation Of Aurara, with a dual citizenship with Simulami in Eldham, as well as the Grand Castell-Llozhar, Kingdom of Greater Prolings and the Hiarllii Federation in Rathnir. He started off as a petty criminal before learning to do better. However, a war led him to his crisis of faith, leading him to a reluctant journey into Makerism.

Personality
Despite his shady past, Miliu can be described as incredibly loyal. Once devoted to a cause he tends to grab a hold of it and will almost never let go. This is both a good and a bad thing as he is very susceptible to tunnel vision, with his black and white thinking unable to comprehend the person or belief he chose is anything other than perfect. This seems to stem from his desperate need for companionship, born out of living in mostly isolation for a century. This naivete will be the death of him, even he believes. Besides his unrelenting beliefs, a part of him still struggle with his base instincts. This desire to steal and fend for himself violently put down in his psyche. As such, backstabbing is more than just a crime to him. Being betrayed to him is proving true in his eyes that he's better off alone, away from the scary people that he fled from all his life. So he holds back those needs of his through his devotion to his new religion. But the path for true redemption isn't as easy as he thought it'll be. This paranoia of people developing into cowardice he is trying to shake himself away from.

This comes to ahead at the first war declaration on Aurara leading to his spiral. The subsequent experiences however led him to GOLF where his strings of bad luck led to further humility. Others have mentioned he seemed less jumpy after those months. Still is a bit, but definitely a bit more put together as he works into learning more under Makerism. His faith only grew and his beliefs about how other local religions developed gets published into books he wrote on his spare time. Which is overall the belief that everything in the end all comes from GONF.

His belief gets tested however as an encounter with ███ ████ led to something entering his mind. He tries to push it down however, his belief in GONF keeping him strong, for now.

Appearance
When he was much younger he looked more like a general lhûren, resembling his mother only with slightly darker olive skin and reddish eyes. However, possibly due to an encounter with the ████ as a kid, his magical properties went completely haywire. This led to his more scaly skin and sharp horn like points growing out of his head. His further experiments under Yankara Kriegal Research Division led to further mutations. His draconic horns and flightless feathered wings and now completely scale covered orange skin is testament to that. This did not bother him however though it did led to him further losing touch to his actual culture, mistaking himself as a draaken which he resembled.

Backstory
Born from Gabrielle Spades Cornaro Proclan the Ist, through unknown means so far he was taken and lost in a ship headed for Eldham. As such, despite his lhûren heritage, this wanderer never grew close to his culture, that side of him almost completely alien to himself. In fact, he believed he was Drakonian for the longest time due to his strange appearance.

For years he lived alone in the Eldham wilderness, fearful because of a strange encounter with magic that left his body changed and him traumatized. He messed with the earlier settlers and engaging in petty thievery. This is born out of his distrust of the civilizations, whom he saw as cruel and warmongering, and yet he still kept getting help from shady characters after realizing he can't survive on his own. Monstrously ambitious and cruel would be tyrants and backstabbers employed him for small jobs here and there while providing just enough to let him keep living his isolationist life style. And that was how he lived for the longest time, a perpetual cycle of only engaging with worse people only confirming his mistrust, forging him to be bitter and cold.

That all changed when he was later picked up by the ruler of the budding province of Aurara. A small waterside land up north east of Valresh (at that time). Experiencing immense kindness for the first time in his life, the former small time no good scum pledged his allegiance to the small town, vowing to spread its influence across Eldham and Rathnir. As such he got involved in several factions before meeting the love of his life and his lost family in Rathnir.

Setting up Shop (276 TE, Oct 5-6 2023)
Taking odd jobs here and there, Xelousi has since started setting up a blacksmithing shop after recently since discovering the magic of enchanting. Aware he's always had magic talent in his veins, his lack of awareness of his draconic heritage led to him making a conclusion that his powers are all provided by the Gods he's pledged his allegiance too, saying they've always watched over him. Due to that, he made use of the blacksmithing skills he's developed over providing for warmongers and combine it with his recently discovered talent. He has since dubbed his weapons as "Blessed", selling them to folks worthy.

With newfound confidence, he gave it a chance and spoke with the owner of Monkey Mart, a budding trade hub, to possibly set up shop there. He also applied for dual citizenship with Simulami to try spreading business there, still trying to make coin alongside his mission.

A new friend (276 TE, Oct 6, 2023)
Whilst in the middle of his everyday mining, Miliu met an undead calling himself Ikuzombie. Still high in spirits over recent successes, Miliu was far more willing to take in the recently awoken zombie and provide him with the necessary tools to survive in his unlife, he had accidentally blinded one of his eyes though which is now perpetually white and slightly glowing.. He proceeded to invite Ikuzombie into Aurara, helping him with the basics. Him and Ikuzombie became fast friends, with him treating Ikuzombie as the Auraran citizens treated him.

Unfortunately, things aren't going to be as easy of a breeze as it initially seemed to be.

War? (276 TE, Oct 6, 2023)
A sudden announcement shook Miliu to his core, the meeting between northern leaders ended not as good as expected, and thus, the small nation of Aurara is warned of an upcoming war. His paranoia kicking in, Miliu took his and a couple of his friends' items and hid them away from the would-be battle ground. Overhearing further details from his leader, Miliu began his own preparations over what must be done.

Not being a particularly good combatant, Miliu had since sunk further into his criminal past. Going forth training, he finally took up an offer a few years ago given to him before Aurara took him in and changed him, the Blitzian Mafia. He begins gathering materials for preparations, believing he should begin fighting should he wish to protect the town he holds dear, despite his issues with the path he's threading once again.

The guilt over what he is throwing himself into led to his soul searching going forward. Praying for answers from his Frog God, he goes forth, going from town to town in an attempt to clear his mind off of the sins he will most definitely need to do. That was when a fellow citizen of Aurara came to him with his own answer.

What if he seeks wisdom to other Gods?

Converting (276-277 TE, Oct 7-8 2023)
He was introduced to Makerism. Initially despondent of the idea of taking wisdom from a different religion, Xe'lousi's trust of his fellow Aurarans won out and he sank himself in Makerism books. This lead him to another conflict. Taken in by the Makerist creeds, he began to question whether his Frog Deity is nothing to the seemingly more influential deity of the older religion. Suddenly, his dream of spreading the good croak of the Lord seems small by comparison, this lead to an intense break down that led to him shutting himself off in his house for a few months. But he feels he has to find his answers soon, for he accepted a proposal of baptism. If there's a time for him to find the peace of mind he's seeking it is then.

Soon the day finally arrived and the lhûren went for his pilgrimage to the communist ruled city of Renapheus. Struck in awe at the ritual before him, Miliu faced the fire he was expected to jump on and the river that will save him from the burns. The hesitation later managed to cease, and he touched the flames. The ritual went on hence forth and he was baptized under G0NF. The celebration of the other now devotees didn't quell his mind however. Through his reeling from the fresh pain of the fires miraculously dissipating, that hesitation never truly left. That doubt growing into horror.

Despairingly, hidden under a smile, he bids the layman goodbye before setting off, but his lingering doubts seems to have been sensed by the God above. Or at least, he believed so, as things went south for him quick. A series of accidents led to him being trapped dying in a hole he fell through on the road, and he found himself stripped of all the gear he's worked on for months. In pain, he huddled in the dirt, lamenting his confusion and fear over possibly being punished for having these thoughts. Until finally, he turned to the words of their holy scriptures.

The story of how the river was formed by the toils and humility of its workers, and its mirroring to his own current situation led Miliu to a conclusion. He was being tested, made humble by GONF above. This gave him enough hope and drive to go forward, reacquiring his wealth and gaining a bit more enlightenment. The experience had him returning to Renapheus a few weeks later, asking to become a layperson in attempts to further learning from GONF, his issues not solved just yet but he has since grown more open in finding avenues to work on it.

New Land, New Businesses (277 TE, Oct 9 2023)
Business went forward as months pass. Managing to fulfill his tests under the Makerist church, he was awarded with the role of Abbot, and his journey commences. Pledging to start spreading the words of GONF, he proceeds with his other ventures. Specifically, finally getting his dual citizenship with Simulami approved. With great timing too as Simulami doesn't accept the Makerist belief.

Here lies the issue however, as due to the state's laws, it not being state recognized means it is currently deemed treasonous. Thus, he hides his faith in these lands for the time being, awaiting for his chance to begin converting those willing into the faith. It is tricky however, but the dual presence between his Auraran loyalty and new Simulami allegiance means his responsibilities are hereby twofold, giving him an excuse to not be always present in Simulami affairs for the time being. Still, he IS a lhûren, so maybe some respect to whence he came is something he should start recognizing.

Besides that, he finally gathered his things and set off via ship, onto the lands of Rathnir where his parents once came from. There he participated in the mission to spread the faith across the Old World. But first, he is in need of a residence. Taking up a citizenship for the GCL, he joined the Maple Adventurer's Guild situated in Gaular. Knowing that travel shall be necessary in his goals, he took up their offer there to gain a bit more experience and coin for his troubles as being a man of the cloth doesn't necessarily pay the bills too well.

It was quite the first experience indeed. In a Rathnir welcome, he found himself in conflict with another adventurer, Dragonk, due to issues with how other holy men treated Dragonk's kind. Meanwhile in Gaular, he got immediately mugged during the tour, though he mostly survived unscathed. Truly he now knows the dangers of the Old World and the precautions he must take should he live to preach Makerism to its people.

Finally, he had perused the pages in the Gaular libraries, where he stumbled upon works from the partnered Lore Guild. There, he found inspiration of their philosophy. In the end, he took their creed in stride, believing they shall be of much comfort during his time of uncertainty.

A Family and Conflict (277 TE, Oct 9-11 2023)
As the drums of war ceased in Aurara, the citizens were notified to start moving for new land. There, he met a young wanderer named Adequate, a nomad whom stayed on the new land. Taking a liking to him the same way he had to Ikuzombie, he adopted the young-ling as his own. Adequate agreed and he made his first family.

Meanwhile, tensions seems to be brewing between him and Ikuzombie over his faith. It seems at some point he might have to choose between him and GONF due to his very hard stance against most religions. That, and the Auraran head of the Frog Temple is displeased with his conversion. His loyalties are beginning to be tested and he was unsure as to how to start proceeding.

Then, somebody knocked to his door.

To know what č̷̌̈̑̽ͅa̸̟̳͛n̷̫͗̽͘'̴̡̯͚̍̀̍̓͠t̶̻̰̟̿͑̋ ̶̢̡̜̐̉͜b̴̢̡̟̣̍̀͛́͠ĕ̴̤̯̺̗ (̷̢̯̯͝2̶̻͂͗̓7̵̥̈́́͂7̵͈̊͠ ̸͇̃̉T̵͉̺̉̋E̵̳̤̐̚,̵̭͎̀͝ͅ ̶͎͔̥̏̀̕Ö̶̠́c̴̞̮̆̓͋t̶͍̙̹̋̾ ̵̳͗͛1̵̗͙̇̎̎1̷̟̣̎͌̃ 2023)̸̛̹̼͋̌
He is approached by ███ ███████ whom offered him a deal he couldn't refuse. He'll know the ███████ of the █████████ and have the power to ███████ people from the ████. Knowledge that can't be known. He knows things will never be the same. He locks himself up in his home for a few months in contemplation on what must be done.

He descends.

The Mission (278 TE, Oct 12 2023)
He was taken out of his stupor by a notification from his Pontifex. The church has a mission specifically for him, the young abbot. His heart sinks with fear at the following words:

So he departs, preparing to do his duty in the lands of Simulami and the GCL, knowing the dangers of the task at hand.

The First Quest (278 TE, Oct 11 2023)
As he fled the wars still raging on Eldham, Miliu began further settling onto his double life on GCL. Here he went forward with his first Adventurer's Guild quest, traveling several blocks onto waters and land. There he finally finished his treck, writing down a journal of his journey. Along the way he also saved a Skeleton Horse from the seas, only to be attacked by Skeletal Horsemen while on his boat. His Skeleton Horse friend came to the rescue however, and his new steed took him to the ends of his first adventure.

He left a sign, marking his progress in the guild.

His first Stoa (278 TE, Oct 12 2023)
Further involving himself in Grand- Castellan politics, on the same day he ended up joining one of their stoas, finally meeting many of the members as well as the activities around the country. This insight shall be of utmost use in his mission to spread GONF in this new continent. So far, nothing is of major issue, and he enjoys partaking in the country's dishes and alcohol with his new friends.

Breaking the Masquerade (278 TE, Oct 12 2023)
On that day, Miliu was present for the interview between Concordia Public Radio and Yankara Kriegal Research Division where the masquerade is broken and further info about the foundation is shared to the outside world. He is unsure about this proceedings but trusted the Founder on what they were doing. As it goes however further ████████ █████ ██ █████ So going forward ██ █████ ██████ ███ ████████████ ████████ ██ ██ █████ ██████████ ███ █████ ████ ██████ ██████████

The new land after the War (277 TE, Oct 12 2023)
After a year of strife, the Kingdom of Aurara has finally settled after the war, and thus moving to a new land, that was where he met Adequate, his future son. Building a new home, he noticed Ikuzombie staying away from him. The zombie having one of his eyes blinded by the sun just recently. Miliu would try approaching but issues between them seems to grow. So he ignored him, attempting to build his new home both here and in Seigi. Soon however, it was Ikuzombie who approached, wanting to mend something between them both, handing him as Friendship Amethyst to keep their bond strong. Miliu accepted it, though he remains a bit unsure.

Baptisms (278 TE, Oct 12 2023)
Having received interest from Rathnirians to hear of the faith further, Miliu attends his first proper baptism as an Abbot as observed by his Pontifex. There, he performed the ritual on the lake of Romunus where a chapel has been erected. This is a big win for the faith whom first had only a little Rathnir influence as compared to Eldham. Here, Miliu has volunteered to start focusing on the Rathnirian front, baptizing people from this world as the others focus on Eldham.

At the same day, Miliu has also formally did a baptism on the Renapheus River, with the first Auraran after him is baptized. Makerism spreads onto Eldham once more.

How much further are you going?

The body disintegrates in your fingers, its remains clinging onto your claws. Pretty soon it'll happen.

Your time is ticking, Miliu.

New Homes (278 TE, Oct 14 2023)
Shaking off his earlier visions, Miliu goes forward with his mission of spreading Makerism onto Rathnir. First, he finally finalized his papers with the former vassal of Tortuga now its own independent nation, Romanus. He is now granted citizenship in the small nation and a home under its small Makerist chapel. There, the Abbot took the role of overseeing this new nation's faith, guiding them in the name of GONF. This is a win for the faith that for a while had only been more active in the new world of Eldham. And his Pontifex let him know that should he spread the faith further, he may be granted the title of Bishop in this area in the future. His responsibilities grew, getting heavier upon his shoulders.

Besides this however, he went further with his mafia business. Taking residence in Kilivaria on the nation of Wiconis, there he took the role of helping with a province under the Blitzian Mafia's control. Here he learned of their folk religion of Kili'ism and their worship of their water deities, which he simply viewed as yet another belief not touched by GONF, thus him not commenting on it. He only smiled and accepted the room provided for him where he may stay. His encounter of more folk beliefs making him think and question which are simply interpretations of the Maker and which are not. Either way, he is staying for unsavory businesses. GONF will not smile upon his future actions, but he must honor the loyalty he pledged for the Blitzian Mafia. He shall take whatever punishment he may have, for that is all he believes he could do.

A brush of War (278 TE, Oct 15 2023)
T̶̟̹͗̌h̴̲͛e̴̩̾ ̵͒͜v̷̞̎ĭ̸̪̪̾ṣ̷̹̓͐ĭ̵͚͕̐o̴̢̞̅n̸̮͒s̵̥̃̀ ̷̪͆f̸͈̻͛̌ủ̷̹͆r̴͔̤̂t̵̙̳̋h̴̼̗̊̀e̷͖͆ŕ̷͔ ̸̺̿̕p̶̘̆͝ļ̵̊ă̴̬͠ͅg̴̛̭̍ú̷̪͇̕e̶̗̖̓͛d̶̩̬̉ ̵̺͌̀h̷̰̻͌͛i̶͓̥͆s̸̲̏́ ̶̪͚͝h̵͓̹̑̇ë̸̮̲́a̵̤̕d̴̦̄. But he merely tried to bury them further into his psyche. Nothing bad is going to happen, at least, he could only pray to GONF that that is the case. In trying to clear the static in his brain, he heads back to his first home in Rathnir in the GCL taiga. Here, he was already hearing murmurs of war for reasons he doesn't quite understand yet. For the past few days he had been helping with prep himself. But, this isn't why he's here this instance. As if answering his begging, GONF seems to have pulled the strings of fate once again, or at least, that was his interpretation. For by some miracle, it seemed that the war was called off for just a moment. The people of Gaular instead took this moment for celebration. A great display of fireworks is fired upon the night sky. Miliu watches in awe, alcohol in hand, at the sight. It was a moment of respite since his dreams were plagued by notions of a disaster afoot. Instead, this was a time of nothing but joy. He stumbled around drunk, taking pictures with his fellow citizens, and having tussles in the tavern. For a moment he even saw one dude on fire. But it was all good, him realizing he has an appreciation of vodka during these flagrant displays of merriment. He simply spent these day laughing along his buddies and having a good time.

He slept dreamless that night.

Further Celebrations (278 TE, Oct 15 2023)
With a new appreciation of alcohol, of course Miliu was also there for yet another celebration a̸̪̺͂̈́l̸̪̊ḽ̸͕̆̒ ̷̨̏͜ṫ̸̥o̴̮̮̍͑ ̷̞̃k̴̖̉e̸̟̝̊̀ẽ̴̖̲̓p̶̝̋͆ ̷͙̥̊̕t̴̠̓̕h̸̫̏e̷̳͚̊̕ ̶̢͝v̷͓̰̅i̸͍̋s̴̻̱̿̈́i̷̠̞̎̓ỏ̸̬͂n̵̡̈́s̸͖͠͝ ̶̢̠͂̅a̸̫͊̂t̴̯̆̂ ̸̡̱̆b̶̥͚͑a̶̧͐͝ͅy̴͕̓͠. In Simulami's New Jellhem, there is the Royal Rumble that commonly takes place between the noble houses of this old nation. Here, the nobles duke it out in a friendly tournament of sorts where they combat each other for supremacy. Miliu was there as spectator, cheering along houses he is not as familiar with at that point. But it was all in good fun, as he munches on potatoes watching these rich people beat the snot out of each other.

Of course, the time he was looking forward to came when everyone gathered in a tavern. He listened to the interview done with the champion of the current competition, him awkwardly just sitting behind him. It doesn't quite matter though cause he was here for the drinks. And drink he did.

Here, he also took witness of a new religion blooming, as a lily pad miraculously just seem to pop up on the icy waters. He doesn't comment as the locals took it as a sign of a new god. Internally though, he had a good chuckle at GONF's sense of humor as he interpreted it. He shows himself in many ways as what was told.

Ghostly Battle (277-278 TE, Oct 10-15 2023)
With the Maple Adventurers' Guild he set off with Miguel Gnome, Dragonk, and Koka Samerdio in solving a ghost issue with a given town. Apparently the creature appears with a brief moment of vulnerability for a short time. The ghost is known as Wakki and it had been causing issues due to reasons not otherwise stated. Miliu fought it using a Spectre Axe he recently picked up almost as if fate. This proved useful as the axe howls in his arms as he fought to protect his friends. Miliu was also there upon the exorcism, where Dragonk managed to talk Wakki down. There, he witnessed Miguel help the townsfolk create a portal out of obsidian, where Wakki entered, disappearing. The portal explodes behind the specter, hopefully indicating they won't be a threat again.

First Betrayal (279 TE, Oct 16 2023)
Soon, he had to do what he had to do. His association with the Blitzian Mafia should lead him into unsavory places, he knew that even with his own naivete. But he trusted his don which led him to conflict with people he otherwise had no issues with, the Scholar's Guild. Unfortunately, he already had some positive relations with them at first due to his connections with the Lore Guild. Alas, he had to do as he was told, and deep down, he actually enjoyed wrecking havoc in the university. In Temple Island, he pulled up with his Kilivarian king, Failure, all to take down the historian, Liberatus, for allegedly trying to assassinate his boss while drunk. While he has no opinion against Liberatus specifically, he has to believe in his boss, so he moves forward into raiding the small island school. There he witnessed Failure get taken down multiple times, and in rage, he helped murder their pet foxes when his opponents ended up holing underground away from them. He witnessed war be drafted against the inhabitants, and did not protest. He was angry. Deep down he knows what he did is wrong, but his anger for his king took over.

He supported the mafia in their cause this time. He is in too deep. It took him a bit to realize what he had done, he has betrayed people who trusted him. The realization made him spiral, taking him back to the Gaular taverns to drink. He has done horrible, but he has to do it. GONF smiles at loyalty, right?

Even he knows that's not the case this time.

Cloning (279 TE, Oct 16 2023)
Whilst helping with research, Miliu was henceforth approached by YKR-033 "Rising Private", whom noticed his rising progress in ████ █████████. In growing desperation he agreed to provide them with some of his DNA to process possibly growing a new body for him to inhabit should his condition go south. While he hopes it didn't end that way he agrees and with a bit of prismarine and lapis, he is created. Miliu watched as his old form regrew from what he once was. The only person he mentioned it to being who he treated as a son, Ikuzombie.

The Faith, Threatened (279 TE, Oct 17 2023)
As if fate is laughing at him, Miliu awoke with dire news from the Pontifex. The church of Boulderism have declared Makerists as heretics and a threat to the world's unity. The Pontifex had hereby gathered the clergy stationed in Rathnir, where he is based, to tell them to be careful of hostilities. Miliu stood firm, filing Boulderism as one of those beliefs that tricked the unknowing under the lies of Emmen. He held his axe firm, preparing himself for the worse. Little did he knew how correct he would be.

World Engine Failure (279 TE, Oct 17 2023)
He is part of the people put in a frozen stasis as the "world engine" failed after ████████████ █████ ████████ ██ ████████. Miliu has no memories of what occurred exactly during this time.

Moon Landing (279 TE, Oct 18 2023)
Upon the return of the world back from stasis, Miliu was once again involved in another adventure in the Maples Adventurer's Guild. This time, an entity only calling himself Mattatrix the Mad Druid commissioned him and fellow adventurers a strange request. Pointing upwards, they were told to go to the Moon, apparently to nab an item he had left there. Quickly taking on a suit lent to him by fellow researchers, Miliu joined in the journey where things immediately go awry. Magic siphoning creatures attacked him and his group, before their combined efforts finally took them down, and they journeyed onward across the Moon's landscape. He's since written a journal detailing his first foray into magical induced space travel.

Honoring Remains (279 TE, Oct 19 2023)
Back in his planet, Miliu took his time exploring the nether. Here he passed by a sorry sight, a dead body of a sorry adventurer lost in the hellish dimension. On their person are two interesting things, a sword with whispering spirits, possibly attracted by properties he hasn't fully understood yet. Another is a hoe more teaming with demonic powers just writhing inside it. Horrified of such artifacts and yet knowing he cannot just leave them there to be taken by some unwary traveler, Miliu made a choice. He whispers prayers for the departed person, burying them in the overworld whence they came. To GONF, he prayed for their soul to have mercy. Finally, he blessed the remaining weapons, lending one to his son for safekeeping. The experience only making his faith stronger, as he hoped for the best of the person.

Arms Dealing (280 TE, Oct 20 2023)
His skills as a blacksmith is finally took to the test as his Mayor, Brute Chieftain of Seigi, commissioned him to create stacks of his gauntlets for training. Knowing it might be due to recent loss of territory for the city, Miliu obliged, being gifted stacks of materials for his work. Dedicating his creations to the powers of GONF, he blessed every arms before providing them to their town's soldiers. As he did so, he noticed something with his mayor. Little did he knew this is the first strain of what is apparently a cat-girlification disease that would spread throughout Seigi. So far, he hasn't contracted the disease, though it might be due to his ████ █████████ that is getting worse by the day.

Goblin Friendo (280 TE, Oct 20 2023)
During his many travels, Miliu is bound to stumble upon yet another person. Having found herself in Eldham through ship and seemingly unsure of what to do, Miliu befriended a character only calling herself Omniscient Goblin. Who is, in fact, a goblin, though seemingly through reasons he isn't quite privy to (or perhaps even she did not knew) she managed to look almost completely human. Barring a few features that are distinctly goblinoid such as her posture almost always hunched like she's barely able to stay upright.

This goblin person seems content simply digging and traveling alongside him. As such, Miliu took her on a boat as a travel companion all across Eldham. He provides her with tips and knowledge to make it in the world, finding amusement at how much the goblin seems to be fixated on obsidian. Finally, Omniscient ended up finding his place, besides following Miliu around.

Entering an Undead Domain (280 TE, Oct 20 2023)
Whilst on a port stop, Miliu witnessed Omniscient speaking with a new person, a familiar type of guy. Amongst his travels, undead is one of the more common folks he had encountered. So meeting a lich isn't too strange for Miliu. What surprised him however was Omniscient's quick befriending of the man after simply being promised "shinnies". He followed her with the lich up to his domain floating on the sky through unseen power, potentially using the mana crystal in its core. His goblin friend took up residents as one of the lich's mooks which she gladly accepted in favor of being able to dig as much as she want. Miliu took note of this, forging a bond with this undead dungeon monster as he leaves Omniscient to get used to her now new home.

Seigi Council Debate (280 TE, Oct 21 2023)
Miliu was around during the second Seigi council event. Whilst the actual event seemed standard as political debates go, what Miliu noticed as strange during the entire thing was quite peculiar even for him. Here he first witnessed the previously mentioned catgirlification disease with Brutus (brute_chieftain) taking the cursed form. It rapidly spread to other people in the same event. Miliu is still unaffected however, but that isn't the only disaster he witnessed that day. One of the political candidates was nearly assassinated, the perpetrator being swiftly put down.
