Malakai Semrus Ivarro

Early Life
Malakai was born to Zoreus and Edenor Ivarro in the now lost realm of Akalan. After the death of his parents during a great conflict, Malakai inherited the position of Rajah of the Tribe Imuria. Not much else is known about Malakai's early life.

General Overview
Akalan (pronounced A-kuh-lan) was the home to many unique species of fauna and flora, many of which differed greatly in appearance from the lifeforms found in Rathnir and Eldham. Peace had dominated the realm and wars were very rarely fought between tribes. Life in Akalan was at its prime during the start of Malakai's life.

The Tribes
Before the split of the sentinel race, they lived in harmony with one another. However, due to differences in beliefs, they began to break off into separate tribes. Currently known tribes are as follows:

- Tribe Nokialan, which later split into two tribes known as Tribe Imuria (Malakai's tribe) and Tribe Taparia - Tribe Astenary - Tribe Icrialan, which later split into two tribes known as Tribe Orregoth and Tribe Veragoth - Other Unknown Tribes

The homelands of a few tribes have been discovered through Malakai's research into ancient tablets found around Rathnir. Current knowledge suggests:

- Tribe Nokialan and its two succeeding tribes populated the entire continent of Aspana and parts of Gallagher.

- Tribe Icrialan populated the entire continent of Orreborne. After the split of this tribe, Orregoth ventured north to the Orreborne-Aspana region while Veragoth ventured south. This left the center of the continent sparsely populated by smaller and highly nomadic tribes.

- Tribe Astenary populated a chain of islands in the Scarsilver Sea located in the north-east of Akalan.

Grand Sentinel War
Centuries later, the peace between the nations began to dissolve as food started to become a resource more scarce than many of the finest gemstones. It had come to the attention of the sentinel tribesmen that the evil deemed 'the Corruption' was ravaging upon the plains of the realm, embedding a curse into the crops which would mutate them to the point where they had become unfit for safe consumption. Every existing tribe was forced to harvest what good crops they had retained and began to distribute rations of very few grains daily in order to save as much of their supply as possible while the tribes debated what should be done in response to the situation. Eventually, the tribes resorted to war and began pillaging each other's territory in hopes of gathering safe crops for their tribes. No war is without its casualties, and unfortunately for Malakai, his father Zoreus was killed in combat and his mother Edenor was slain by an enemy tribesman.

Post-War Events
The war was over and the fighting had ceased. Imuria emerged victorious from the conflict, though much of the tribes' sacred territories were ruined during the many battles that took place and many sentinels' lives were lost. Despite the return of peace among the tribes, the Corruption had not ceased and continued to infect every corner of the realm.

Catastrophe prior to Arrival in Rathnir
After a few hundred hears in Akalan, the citizens of every nation began to report mysterious occurrences across the realm, seemingly caused by the Corruption. While no major events had yet unraveled, reports of bizarre sightings had rapidly begun to build up over time, including withered flowers beginning to appear and kill off healthy plants, as well as the moss-green grass becoming a crimson-red stone. During the monitoring of the realm, the land had shifted very suddenly and everything had started to collapse; landmasses crumbled to ashes, oceans were vaporized into nothingness and the plants were becoming dry to the point of death. Ecosystems collapsed and all things living in Akalan had ceased to exist. Malakai had fallen unconscious in the midst of what seemed to be the apocalypse and was lying on the ground in the realm which would soon be forgotten.

Initial Arrival
After waking up and finding himself in a world unknown to him, Malakai had found that his body had suffered as a result of his arrival; His eyes had turned red and his chest was marked with a large scar. With no other choice, Malakai observed his surroundings and saw life that had never before been seen by a Sentinel. Through exploration, he discovered new materials he had never seen or heard of before. After scavenging for various crops and other essentials, Malakai had found a city known as Lithranor, which became his residence for many years after his arrival. In Lithranor, he built a small hut which he would call his home, featuring an underground network of farms which were primarily used for growing potatoes.

False Accusation
An average day had come by for Malakai, who was spending time with new friends and fellow citizens when suddenly, he was ambushed by a small group of soldiers and a member of the city's council. It had become apparent that Malakai was accused of theft when it was discovered that the city's vault was robbed and the armors and weapons that were stored within it were gone. It was later proven to have been a false accusation by Malakai.

Foundation and Settlement of Thera
To the east of Lithranor was the corrupted remnants of Tarnwick, a place with a dark history. Malakai's ambition to form his own thriving city in its location soon became a reality as he stepped foot on the blood-red stained rock and ventured into its forests to settle and restore the ancient lands of the region.

Integration of Thera into Yimmu-Audal
Thera was soon discovered by the Empire of Yimmu-Audal and Malakai had become aware of this fact when he was contacted by the Countess Raedan Seeker, informing him of this fact. After negotiations were complete, Thera officially became a settlement of Yimmu-Audal and now stands in the northernmost county of the Duchy of Anoshphey.
