Biography
Tharok was born in Bardonia but was raised in a rather unique way. Both of his parents abandoned him just outside of the town of Oda, left to be found by a group of squatters running a town named Monkeville. He spent about two years in this town, meaning he was roughly two years old when the squatters were forced to leave by the much larger town of Oda, which was part of Bardonia, unlike Monkeville. The group of squatters wandered for about 6 months until they arrived at the town of Ardena, which was part of The Goblin Horde at the time. They built another squatter base, but this time the land they squatted on was much nicer to them. After just about a month after the base was established, they officially joined Ardena, which was a province of the Goblin Horde. Not much happened in young Tharok's life until about the age of 15, when all of his caretakers who were previously running the town of Monkeville mysteriously disappeared. It is still unknown to this day who these people were as Ardena's records were faulty if not non-existent of the town and the identities of the people who ran it. Luckily, by this point, Tharok was well-educated enough to run the town himself, so that is exactly what he did. It was around this point that Tharok realized he didn't have a name and that could be an issue when being the mayor of a town, so this is how he got his name. The name he gave himself was not tied to any family on Rathnir, he just picked a name he liked and nobody questioned him. He continued running his town until about the age of 20 when he grew bored of running a town with a sad population of just three. He built himself his own boat, and sailed for an impressive 2 years, before running into an iceberg in the middle of the Norgrens Sea. Since he could not repair his boat, Tharok decided he would be a small house on top of the iceberg and then anchor it down. Since there were no towns in the area he could be his house a part of at the time, he decided he would make his house a completely new squatter town named Iceville. He peacefully lived in this house watching boats pass by for the next 6 months, until Serafini, a Ryk of the TEK, built Brightland on another much larger iceberg right next to him. After his town was constructed, the deck coming off of his house was rubbing up against the walls of Brightland. After just a month of dealing with that, he decided he would take apart the deck of his house and build a makeshift rowboat, rowing through the Norgrens Sea until he eventually hit the walls of Maxtsadt, the capital of the TEK. Since he decided that he did not want to meddle with squatting any longer, he joined the TEK and bought a medium-sized apartment right in the heart of Maxstadt. It was in this apartment where he learned about the TEK and also how to brew. Once he got somewhat skilled at brewing, one of the leaders of the small village of Kylasholmar, another town part of the TEK, took notice of his skills and invited him to join the town and sell his drinks there as there currently were no breweries in the town. He ended up accepting the invite and now runs a brewery chain in Kylasholmar and Maxstadt. Thanks to this, he is now friends with Count Riccardix, and is a neighborhood admin for part of the market district of Kylasholmar.
