Wambold O'r Cymoedd

Wambold Zevedeos was the Ekprosopos of the Kingdom of Ahalia, the govenor of the town of Dinas and one of the Eldham Guild Mapmakers He resides in the town of Dinas within Ahalia.

Early Life
Wambold Zevedeos was born in an unknown town believed to have been in central Eldham to a set of parents that he knows little of, not even their names. He remembers little of his childhood, only that his town was wealthy and lavished, and he grew up comfortable. Around the time when he was 8, a war would occur, which was specifically no one can say (possibly the War of the Black Flag or Skjoldbrodir-Lemurian war) which would force him to leave his town and seek refuge elsewhere. He and his parents would venture south, towards the continent of Arsine, and settled in the wilderness. Wambold would remain there until the age of 20, when a group of bandits attacked, separating him from his parents, but he would survive, battered and bruised. He continued on the journey southward, eventually meeting a stranger named Theo Zevedos.

Arrival at Ahalia
Theo Zevedos would lead Wambold to the town he ruled, the great city of Jepola. Shortly after, Wambold would become a Viodoxan citizen (Ahalia was still a colony at the time) and slowly began to integrate with the other Ahalians. He gained a job as a miner and was almost immediately promoted to the Guild Master of the Miner Guild. He began working on Jepola, constructing houses and other facilities, as was his fellow Ahalians. Simultaneously, Theo began the first wave of Ahalian reforms, starting by forming an advisory council known as the Nikatoi, which Wambold was appointed to. Upon his promotion, he worked harder and harder to develop Ahalia, and assisted in recruiting many important individuals that work in Ahalia today: the Nikatoi Scarminus, the Guild Masters Lexali and Volt_Master, and many, many citizens.

Independence for Ahalia
Due to increasing frustration with their Viodoxan overlords, the Nikatoi began plotting an independence declaration, with Wambold being one of the most vocal supporters. Shortly after, the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa suddenly collapsed, leaving Ahalia to break free and become an independent kingdom. Wambold would become vital in the organisation of the new state, drafting a non-aggression pact with it's neighbour Atlechia and creating the constitution of Ahalia. Wambold would continue in his work on the development of Ahalia and the guilds, eventually gaining a large sum of wealth. Subsequentely, he proposed an idea to the Nikatoi, for Ahalia to attempt a purchase of uninhabited land south of Ahalia from their neighbour, Atlechia. Wambold negotiated personally with their King, Swenking, for hours and hours. The idea was thought to be impossible, but Wambold would achieve a miracle and the pair agreed to a sale of the land. Impressed, Theo Zevedos would grant Wambold the ability to develop these lands, and made him govenor of the territory. Wambold would then begin his great project, the town of Dinas.

The Great Project
After vacating his home in Jepola, Wambold moved to the strip of desert just south of Jepola. From there, he began building his current house, as well as the houses for people to join. A couple Jepolians would follow him, but hardly enough to form a town, so Wambold set out on a pilgramage throughout Eldham to recruit lost travellers or discontent residents of other towns. Dozens of players followed him, and they returned to Dinas, building the hill of sand into a bustling community. Within three weeks, Dinas had quadrupled in size and playercount. During the beginnings of Dinas, the Nikatoi decided to create a leader among them, the Ekprosopos. This would be a mostly ceremonious role, but would be elected among the people. Immediately, an election began, with the people voting overwhelmingly for Wambold with around 85% of the vote, a remarkable landslide. Wambold, enamoured by his new position, continued his work, building strong bonds with his people and working his utmost hardest for the future of Ahalia. Wambold would fight in two wars around this time, the Atlechian Invasion of Agoge and the Elbian-Valdreach conflict. Success was found in the Agoge war, but the Elbian liberators were seriously defeated in their battle, and Wambold was gravely injured in the fighting, just barely being carried away from the fight by Fousas Zevedos and Volt_Master. After returning home, Wambold would continue his work on Dinas, but demotivated and depressed, often drowning his sorrows in alcohol among his friends. Later on, Volt_Master would approach him with an offer to help him form the Ahalia Mercenary Guild, which Wambold immediately agreed to, thus becoming a commander among it's ranks. Wambold would also help found the settlement of Kekrifalia, along with Theo Zevedos and Lexali.

Conflict with the Socalist World
Ahalia would involve itself in a plot to invade and divide the Grand Republic Xeka, but the Hammerhall Revolution's leader, Egap, had misunderestimated Xeka's allies in the SDA, and as soon as the USSE pledge to defend Xeka, Ahalia pulled out of the agreement. Furious, Wambold immediately denounced the USSE and it's president for it's occupation and puppeting of Xeka, calling out the communists for their hypocrisy and backstabbing. This would result in immediate retaliation in the form of denounciations from numerous communist party officials, including the USSE President himself. This would only reinforce Wambold's previous anti-communist revanchism, which would culminate during the Ahalian Worker's Conflict, which Wambold took a hardline stance against.

Family
Years went by, and Wambold's work continued. His body aged, but his mind remained youthful. Upon the dawn of a day just like any other, he was greeted by his Basileus, Theo Zevedeos. Upon their usual greetings, Theo, in the midst of their conversation, wouldd drop a bombshell upon Wambold, revealing him to be his long lost son, despite Wambold living in Ahalia for decades. He explained it was a test of honour and to truly see if he was worthy of the Zevedeos name. Eventually, he deemed it so, and Wambold was officially granted royal titles and an equal seat among the Zevedeos family. He maintained his previous positions as Ekprosopos, but would eventually grow his ambitions further than his current seat.

Upon the illness of his father, Wambold's brother, Fousas, would elevate to the throne, much to the dismay of Wambold. Enraged, Wambold would grow jealous, and seek the throne for himself. He immediately began an armed uprising in Dinas, rallying his supporters to march on the capital. He would gain the popular support in Ahalia among the people, but his army was ill-equipped and lacked the proper training. Fousas and Wambold's forces would clash at the Battle of Dinas, where Wambold would fight valiantly but eventually brought down by several enemy soldiers, then cut down by Fousas himself, where he bled out in the sands he called home, dying for a dream that he believed in. He was left to rot in an Ahalian ditch, but his son aas well as his nobles would find him and give him the proper Guhenist burials.

Arindor
Wambold would have one son, Arindor Zevedeos. Arindor was born of Wambold and an unkown Oceanumite woman, whom many believed he would have settled down with after the Ahalian Civil War. Neither Zevedeos would meet one another due to Wambold's death, but Arindor would grow up and one day reclaim the birthright his father had fought for during the Ahalian Revolution.

Physical Appearance
Wambold is an Eldhamite male of the Ahalian culture. He has pale skin, along with bright green eyes and a pale orange hair. He is 6'1 or 185cm. He bears the clothing of the Ekprosopos of Ahalia. Wambold is currently 60 years old, and has lived in Eldham for all of his live. He has clearly aged as a result of his longer lifespan, but remains athletic and energetic; not so much as his youth but he remains active.

Religion
Wambold was a confident atheist upon his arrival to Ahalia, but slowly warmed up to the Guhenist faith and ideals present there, and now devotes himself to Guhen's teachings, hoping to one day achieve the Sweet Release. He has even participated in a couple religious conflicts involving Guhenist organisations.
