Fear The Smile

'''As a dryad, this man traveled the world trying to find his place to sprout. Like the Nomads of Rathnir he quickly moved from place to place as he was removed by locals of the lands he trespassed. That would all change in the Sea of Pearls.'                                                                                                                                                                                     .''

'' "There comes a time where one must ask, where do I belong on the Seesaw of Life, I chose the side of the Light. While Entropy chose the Dark. And so I must oppose her in every aspect. Even if it means being called a heretic." ''

 Duke Fear, The Ferryman from Pearls 

A Short Time in the Silver Coalition
Fear sprouted in the north of Rathnir on an island within the Silver Coalition. He built an acacia hut near a collapsed cave to shelter in when it rained and decorated it with what he had on him. One day after he woke there was a note left at his door, It read

'' "Hello we were wondering if whoever was living here would like to join us, please come to the Citadel to talk about this further. It is east of here." ''

Curious about this world Fear said goodbye to his shelter and set off, little did he knew that this would be the start of a grand nomadic adventure. After he set off he noticed that he was surrounded by ocean on all sides of the island with no land in sight. He knew he had to go east but the current went south. All he could do was follow the current. He hopped into a boat he made from scratch and set sail. After what felt like days he landed along the shores of ____ and went east leaving his boat behind. After walking through mountainous terrain he cam across a town called ____, it was empty. He explored it a little and gathered some supplies before heading out again. After he left ____ he stumbled into a nude man who simply just appeared before him. "Stoneworks (user)" he looked at the Dryad and with a nod and threw him some Netherite boots, than vanished. just as quick as he had appeared. This filled the dryad with a mix of confusion, fear, and relief. he put on the boots and continued east, finding a road he traveled down it until he reached the Citadel. Along the way he saw many towns and cities as well as ruins of towers and fortifications. These people were skilled in warfare whoever they were. He finally arrived in the Citadel and wandered around trying to find an entrance. But he took a fall into a ravine just outside of the citadel gates. He did not feel a thud when he hit the bottom of the crevasse but instead woke up, somewhere completely different.

A Chilly Exile Town
He punched out of the inside of an oak tree and was hit with the chilly air of the ocean. This wasn't the Silver Coalition, it was way too cold. And he didn't like it. He wandered around in search of warmth and stumbled upon a settlement of Bardonian exiles. There he met a man named Midge, and the two soon became friends. Midge said he wanted to settle here in the hopes that bardonia would conquer the place and he would be able to gain citizenship through integration. Fear asked what Bardonia was and midge was shocked.

'' "Bardonia is the powerhouse of the north how do you not know them?" ''

Midge answered all his questions about the world. Fear was in awe of the many battles and legends midge spoke of. The two than drank into the night arguing about which was better; Dryad women or elven woman.

Fleeing Soumere
Later on into the months they were aproached by members of the Soumere. They demanded us to leave or face beheading. The two of them quickly gathered our things and got out as fast as they could. They parted ways during the journey after an agreement. Supplies were running low and Fear could survive by himself. He wandered north while midge headed west. Later on in his journey he found himself along the shores of a great shimmering sea. The salt at the bottom of the ocean glittered like diamonds in the night as stars twinkled overhead. However he did not have much time to gawk at the beauty of the ocean as a weighted net was thrown over him. He was dragged aboard a ship known as the Salty Seamen.

Aboard The Salty Seamen
Fear was enslaved aboard the mighty vessel and was forced to do manual labor below deck. He didn't mind it though, in fact he developed Stockholm syndrome and began praising the captain; King Athos. Athos admired the Dryad and soon the two grew an unbreakable bond. Athos named Fear Shaft of the Cock. A position reserved for the most elite on the ship. The other crew aboard the ship were slaves and the mighty Realz.
