Percival Silvermoon

Percival Antioch William Silvermoon III (b. Fall of 107 TE), also known by his in-game username DrVoid7, is a Valdaran elf, the only son of Remus and Amelia Silvermoon and sole heir of House Silvermoon. He is a former member of the Grand Council of Valdara where he served as the Minister of Culture, and is a skilled potioneer and craftsman.

Before Rathnir (107 TE-227 TE)
Not much is known about Percival Silvermoon's life before Rathnir, however he has shared some information about it.

Percival Silvermoon III was raised at the ancestral home of Silvermoon Manor near the faraway town of Clearwater; a beautiful house in the countryside that was built by his great-great-great-grandfather Percival Silvermoon I.

From a young age, Percy exhibited the natural curiosity and ingenuity of his ancestors and spent a lot of time in the library with his uncle, Ford Silvermoon, who tutored him for a lot of his life, even after finishing school.

The exact circumstances of Percival's departure from his home are not known, however he has hinted that his family lost their fortune and all their possessions, and that this prompted him to set to sea in order to find a new home for himself, eventually stumbling upon the continent known as Rathnir.

A New Home as a Rathnirite (232 TE-247 TE)
For five years, Percival roamed the lands of Rathnir. He traveled from city to city, looking for the ideal place to settle down, until one day, in Summer of 232 TE, he found it: the successor state of Alda, Westmarch.

A year passed, and Percival began building a barn close to the coast of New Zerith (now called Jadetown). He worked hard to establish a proper farm there, and spent his free time writing stories and continuing his scientific work.

Minister of Culture (247 TE-296 TE)
After witnessing how badly organised the official lore and culture of his country was, Percival began his campaign to become the Chancellor of Culture in Fall of 247 TE. Ironically, no-one else was interested in the position anyway, so Percy won the vote without contest in Fall of 249 TE.

Percy would then continue as Chancellor of Culture until the two nations of Alda and Vanyr merged and became the United Kingdoms of Valdara. Many constitutional amendments followed, with the establishment of a new Council and the Chancellors being renamed to Ministers.

Now a member of the Grand Council as well as being the Minister of Culture, Percival began taking more action in the government, and undertook the task of reorganising the entire Ministry of Culture, almost entirely by himself.

Civil War (Fall of 296 TE-Present)
In Fall of 296 TE, the Aldan Black Sun Revolutionary Army led by Joseff P. Dusksworn made its first appearance, announcing their uprising against what they called "the Valdaran regime". Shortly after, in Winter of 297 TE, Matthias Tertrium came up with his own Delorian revolution, a new nation named Quel'Thalas of Deloria, whose aim was to take over Vanyr. At the same time, Lord Ash of Dytikos came up with the Aldan Republican Front, with the purpose of defeating the Black Sun nationalist revolution and to bring a new republican order to the monarchic parliamentary structure of the Velanate of Valdara.

Seeing the nation he had been serving for half a century tear itself apart in a four-way civil war broke Percy's heart. His work lost and his home now lying slap-bang in the middle of the territory of Dusksworn's nationalist forces, Percival saw no other choice but to flee the country. In Fall of 298 TE, Percival resigned from his position as Valdaran Minister of Culture, gathered his belongings, and left from the port of Jadetown on a boat.

Physical Description
Percival is a tall elf (5'10") with messy brown hair, a light skin tone, and black eyes with a mischievous gleam to them. He also often has ash from the forges in his hair, since physical cleanliness is not particularly important to him. Although seemingly quite thin and gangly, he is in fact rather muscular, and as a result of his arcane and scientific pursuits, his hands and forearms are covered in various scars and his eyebrows have been singed off.
