Early Years
Born and raised in the City of Yggdrasil l, the Fjell land created some of the worst memories for Crinky. Abrewt, Crinky's oldest Brother has raised him around politics and construction of cities. Attacks from bandits had left there family in with little money and force Crinky to Emigrate from Fjellheim. At the age of 11, Crinky had left home to wander the lands of Neiden listening to stories and tales of Prosperity towards the west, selling botanical goods along the way. He had found a special fascination of the Dandelion after hearing stories from a traveller.

Brewtania
Crinky had received word from his brother Abrewt that he had founded a colony in the Kingdom of Brewtania, this soon after Crinky's 21st birthday. The coast where the isles once lay had become home to the Fort of Shelbania, later named Fort Crinky. The Kingdom of Brewtania on later absorbed into the lands of Bardonia allowed Abrewt to remain in power of the lands as Representative of the Provence of Brewtania. Once reunited with his brother, construction Crinky's house had begun, involving elements that Crinky had experience in his travels of nomadic living. Plans on opening a naturistic shop later commenced. After exploring the nature of the Dandelion Crinky had decided to worship Dandelism. Threatens later arouse from the evil military group named the Ferrymen causing Crinky to participate within Bardonia's political arena. The golden age had started in Bardonia after the fall of the Ferrymen and thus the renown of Crinky and Abrewt had begun. Abrewt's appointment of the title "Grand Minister of Bardonia" allowed Crinky to move higher into the ranks of Bardonia and Brewtania.

The Golden Age
With the claim of Brewtania under Bardonian rule Crinky quickly become a member of the Bardonia provincial representatives, plans had formed of road improvements around Bardonia to create stories for those that follow the life of his previous livings. Soon after Bardonia had appointed Crinky as a High Official to Bardonia. Crinky now sees the golden age of Bardonia as a window to create beauty within the lands. Crinky’s dedication to his nation and the development of Shelbia had grown, Bardonia had taken land all over Syltor and new relations were formed with the integrated nations. He had begun construction of a new Capital of Bardonia (Don Fuer) with the infamous D_loaded and providing the Prophet with Materials and infrastructure. Crinky had participated in the War of Ryzan City along side many notorious figures with his high skill with his bow, skills developed while confined to his Nomad life. Crinky and his brother Andrew had planned to support their religion through the construction of a large Cathedral in hopes to spread more influence across Syltor and the world. The construction was interrupted by the order of the Council as a plan to reform the capital was announced, the Prophet had undergone a transformation, integrating the bodies of himself and the Chancellor. At this time D_loaded had fled from a failed Coup against the prophet and construction had been halted. Crinky’s previous helpin the nation, had led the Chancellor of Bardonia to grant Crinky with the Fortress of Don Fuer and would provide him with an escape from Central Bardonia. A word of aggression from the large southern nations had reached Crinky and preparations had begun on this future conflict. With constructions ongoing at New Dorasterrock, the defences had been left at its weakest state. Temporary defences were formed around the Capital according to the Book of Bardonian Defence written by the Chancellor, these defences had been created in proportions never seen before in Rathnir. Word had been sent that a small squatting settlement within the borders of Bardonia had sent a declaration of war against Shelbia. As soon as the defences of New Dorasterrock were complete Crinky had begun to move into the Fortress after doubt had surrounded Dandelion Provence. A small group of Coalition representatives were scouted around Shelbia, leaving Crinky to sneak out of his town to report to New Dorasterrock.

The War of Southern Aggression
Mere hours before the War of Southern Aggression some people had already gathered in Victory square. Council member Crezyman had seen mere numbers of the Coalition army and begun to panic. He disbanded the forces residing in New Dorasterrock and waited for the enemy to march in. Crinky stood by the remaining forces by the sides of Crezyman and Eleven to face the large barbaric army of the south. Prepared for the fight in the senate, enemies scaled the roof and appeared by the main door, people ran in and used explosive to disperse the remaining Allium forces. Crinky had ran into the madness to help protect those who had supported the Nation however the southern forces were significantly stronger. Betraying member of Bardonia, now on the side of the Coalition began to challenge Crinky in the battle overwhelming him. Crinky had struck a blow across the face while the others tormented him, someone ran towards him and crossed swords with the menacing Southerns. Astro had defended Crinky merely seconds before his certain death, although on other sides of the war Astr0 still spared Crinky’s life even though they had barely met. He helped Crinky escape the Massacre and return to the other forces who were ordered to leave. Once escaped Crinky had returned to his old ransacked house in Shelbia and sat at the Shrine of Dandelism, his sight was fading from his wound and the last vision seen was the view of the city he helped form. A party of Bardonian's had found him helping survivors of the battle and helped him regroup with the rest of Bardonian forces.

Once regrouped Crinky had noticed a missing presence, the Chancellor was not there. Even though now blinded, Crinky had felt change in The Path of the Dandelions. Crinky had begun instant preparations with Council members Yazov and Andrew, the remaining government who didn’t flee the nation. Talks of peace and restructuring were prepared soon after the battle. The Capital was decided to move to Dorasterrock and the three Bardonians were to search for future Government worthy members. It was determined for Crinky to join the Council. These three Bardonians mark the end of the third Bardonian Empire and the beginning of the Forth republic.

Recovery
Hours after the battle of New Dorasterrock, Crezyman had announced himself new Chancellor of the Nation after fall of the Prophet and the Chancellor. Crinky knew that this choice could potentially end the nation of Bardonia. With many new neighbours and Bardonia now under threat against all of Rathnir he knew that something must be done. Yazov, Andrew and Crinky all resided in Don Fuer planning on the next course of action, word from the Coalition had been sent to the fortress, a discussion of peace. Ultimately the people of Bardonia now served the new Chancellor and it was presented to Crezyman however no attempt was made to discuss peace.

Meanwhile during the war Crinky’s brother Andrew had joined a noble family, de’ Medici, as they had no surname attached to their identity, Crinky had also agreed to join the family as Crinky de’ Medici. The family also shared goals to restore order across Bardonia and Syltor, established in Ryzan and the land of Eldham Crinky had convinced them to begin construction of a new settlement in Bardonia, not far from Don Fuer and Dorasterrock. The town of Novus had been formed on a preexisting abandoned settlement known previously as New Farnau. The family is widely known for their rapidity of construction, completing massive infrastructure in a matter of hours.

New settlements were forming all over Syltor after word had spread of the fall of New Dorasterrock and Shelbia. People looking to reform Bardonia and claiming its fame for themselves were prevalent, squatters, bandits and revolts were forming. With little government control and actions, Crinky and other members of Bardonia were to take it into their hands. The southern Bardonian settlement know as Centerville, who had recently turned the settlement of Shelbia into ruins lead the Revolution and supported the efforts of the new forming Nations. With the Bardonian spirit not fulling broken, it was sure that a small military campaign was to take place to reform the land. The assassination of Crezyman and the formation of the treaty allowed the new Senate to finally remove this evil from Bardonia, however at the cost of the old Capital, New Dorasterrock, and the fortress of Auron's Peak.

It was apparent that the Nation needed a new leader to support the image of Bardonia, it was decided that Yazov was to be elected as new Chancellor of Bardonia, with these changes Andrew was appointed as Grand Minister once again and Crinky were to be named Grand Inaugurator. Materials, weapons, potions, Armour and all things needed for the development for the nation were transported into Crinky’s new city. Designs and plans were made across all of Bardonia, and increased production Infrastructure was needed to support the population in the Southern settlements. New allies and the Syltor Union were formed to protect the continent and the temporary formation of the Great Northern Confederacy was formed. However plans to join the large nation and ally of Bardonia was planned, Ecsharia was the new home Crinky and the de’ Medici.

New Life
After the merger into Ecsharia, Crinky had remained inside the Fortress of Fluenta to escape the changing political landscape. He resorted to living off the surrounding lands and teachings from his previous life. Without his vision it was incredibly difficult to support his new independent living. New skills developed and his other senses became more reliable. Crinky had occasionally travelled to various parts of Bardonia, Dorasterrock was a frequent destination as many relied on his teachings. Although it was near impossible to develop the structures of Fluenta, Crinky noticed a new sense that helped guide him to focus on nearly impossible tasks for someone in his condition. He noticed that clear visions would occasionally fill his mind. Paths. Crinky realised that he had developed the Eye of the Prophet.

Eye of the Prophet
With the reformation of the Bardonian Empire, Crinky had become confident enough to return to the people of Bardonia. His first message on 4/10/2021 revealed his new nature: "The darkest days are beginning to fade with time

The holy land restored

My eyes blinded by the southern aggression

Loss was never forgotten

But a new sight has formed

The paths have been refound
