Stadiel Quere

Stadiel Quere is a Nephilim, stargazer, artisan, brewer and builder from the town of Hanikwa and the free city of Qadakh, Tochi. Stadiel is a dual citizen in both Tochi and Qadakh as of 68 AJC.

Childhood
Stadiel was born in 235 BJC, before the discovery of Eldham in an unknown tribe hidden underground. Stadiel lived a fairly normal childhood, though without a father figure, knowing only is human mother. At the age of 7 Stadiel heard a discussion between his tribe's elder and his mother talking about how he shouldn't know a thing about the true origins of his father, nor the outside of the hole. After hearing the discussion, Stadiel, scared, thought deeply about his own origins. One night as the village was plunged in a deep slumber, Stadiel looked outside of the hole and saw the stars. He felt enthralled by their beauty and started dreaming about them and found himself day dreaming about the outside and the night sky. Though young he soon became a brewer and well-known member of his tribe. At the age of 15 he started making a cloak heavily inspired by the night sky and the stars. On his 18th birthday he was offered the occupation of official brewer in the tribe, but he wanted to live life above and so, at midnight, the tribe wouldn't hear of him ever again as he got above and got lost in the woods, never to find his home again, bound to life above ground.

Life above
After leaving his tribe and going above ground where the stars were visible. He started a life as a nomad, first trying to find any civilization, thinking his tribe were the only people alive, luckily he stumbled upon a group of settlers. Stadiel didn't understand the settlers, as he did not know their language. Still they offered him a place of rest and welcomed him when nature had been harsh to him. He soon started learning the language of the settlers to be able to communicate with them, he soon learned that they arrived from another continent overseas, called Rathnir. Stadiel was surprised by this, as just half a year prior he thought life didn't extend past the hole. He started to learn how to write, read, manipulate numbers and other things that most teenager would have learned during childhood, he was a fast learner and quickly became accustomed to the settlers' culture and ideas. He later left the group of the settlers, thanking them for their kindness, before leaving to go live on his own.

Life alone
For a year after meeting the settlers Stadiel lived alone, though sometimes meeting up with other groups of settlers to talk about history, the stars and the maps of the lands that the Settlers had made. He quickly amassed knowledge and started to feel as though he may have a place amongst the settlers. He then explored more civilized parts of Eldham, talking to settlers about the nations that had formed on the continent. As he had lived most of his life in the north it is there that he started his new life by going from nation to nation, exploring, discussing and asking questions about the lands around him.

Settling down
On his 19th birthday Stadiel thought that it was finally time to settle down somewhere, he chose Yaszuma. It's capital, Umakwa, flying in the sky woud only get him closer to the sky he thought as he got up. He talked for a while with the government to try and become a Yaszumatti, he was good at mining, knew his way around a brewery and around cheese making through things he learned during his travels. He became a Yaszumatti, ditching his old torn pants, his bandages and his woven coat for a more suiting haori, inspired by the night sky. He learned the culture of Yaszuma, its architecture, its religion, its history. He visited each city carefully, before finding one that he though would feel like home. He settled down in Hanikwa, in the province of Piru (now known as the nation of Tochi), one of the youngest provinces of Yaszuma.

It's there that he started his life as an apprentice brewer and builder. After taking a temporary home in the town he started building his own, applying the style that he studied in Umakwa, and creating an observatory so that he could start mapping the skies (see the star map of the Stargazers).

The leave
One day during 60 AJC Stadiel disappeared for 3 years, has he was searching for the books of the stargazers. He started talking about Stargazing to people, but no one at that point started following the order that he created, but he found 2 books, that he started translating in 62 AJC during his leave. When he came back, Yaszuma was not the same, Hanikwa had grown, people had joined. War against Varn Torum almost happened, but this conflict was resolved quickly, though afterwards Piru, now Tochi left Yaszuma to become it's own nation. Stadiel, was not a Yaszumatti anymore, he was now a citizen of Tochi, when coming back Stadiel instantly started taking building jobs again and continued his translations of the 2 new texts. After the independence he became a dual citizen of both Yaszuma and Tochi.

Life after the leave
In 65 AJC after coming back to Hanikwa, Stadiel started visiting other nations and cities and stumbled upon Qadakh. He found Qadakh beautiful and so became a citizen of Qadakh too, to help the city expand. During that time he finished the translation of "A guide to Stargazing" that he immediatly copied and posted in the religious section of a small library in Qadakh, though the book will probably be copied again and sent to other places.

In 66 AJC Stadiel built the pagoda situated on a small island in Hanikwa. Stadiel also finished the translation of the 2nd book of the Stargazers known as "origins of a world" a prayer to the stars and origins of our world in the eyes of Stargazers.

The 3rd book of the Stargazers ("Nephilimia Encyclopedia")
After 6 years of translation the third book was finally translated and with it came huge revelations for Stadiel. During the translation Stadiel thought to himself that he was not human, multiple times, as what he was translating was slowly taking shape and becoming an encyclopedia on some kind of race, not human, partially earthly, partially star-like. "monsters.", Stadiel thought to himself as he translated the books. But half way through the book he found a small page, that seemed to have been ripped out of another. Translating it he discovered the origins of this race. This race came from a tribe of Eldham natives, visited by a constellation called Isa, Isa's offspring became their own tribe, Nephilims they were called. And as Stadiel translated more and more he discovered that the hole he came from, was the birthing place of this tribe. He discovered that he was not human, but a Nephilim, probably a half-blood, between Nephilim and Human. This is why Stadiel felt a weird connection to the stars in his early life. As he realised this he understood why he never saw his father, and why his mother was always so quiet when he wanted to talk about him. With the translation came good news, other Nephilims from the tribe may still be alive and in Eldham, Stadiel is currently searching for them throughout Eldham, while on his quest to search for Stargazing books.
