Loic

''“THEN LET THEM! Let Uldarash start a world war for their lost lands! We’ll simply crush them again. I want to put this bullshit behind Viodoxa and if that means destroying everything they have so be it.” Loic dem Spheniscidae during the Hapatmitas Crisis when being threatened by an Uldarashi diplomat''

Loic dem Spheniscidae (known ingame as Loic_exe27) and known by his people as Loic the Uniter or Akerei de Sud(King of the South), was a General, Spirit, Writer, Explorer, and Statesman who is a 4th generation player --meaning a player who arrived from the fourth Stoney video regarding Rathnir-- that joined the server on February 3rd. He was a Niedean founder of Asahiri and for some time, de jure King of Paloro. He typically wore a traditional samurai skin with a penguins face. The character was Imperial Archon of Viodoxa alongside Spike and is accredited with founding the Empire alongside his constituents, bringing Soleannen faith to Cymru, and ending the era of the Old Guard. He is also founder of Valentum. It is unknown what humanoid race he belongs to, but similar to most of his followers, he wears a realistic mask of a penguin to hide his true identity. He has purposefully kept it a secret revealing who he was during the Annihilation of Asahiri.

His Most Wise Imperial Magistrate, Archon of Viodoxa, Luizon of Valron, Lord of Adytum, Head dem Spheniscidae, Uniter of Cymru, Akerei de Sud, Reaper of Haven, Founder of Valentum, Champion of Soleanna

Origin
Loic had humble beginnings in the swamps of the Heart of Haven, after he and his friends Klaus and Landmine had stumbled upon Keechoo in Palovina. His origins are unknown, and so are his friends as many were confirmed to be humanoid beings, most likely humans that wear realistic masks of animals. They had notedly came from beyond the border of Rathnir. Nonetheless, they had arrived in the swamps which is when the first known data of their arrival. There, he met the wonderful city of Palovina and began to adopt the cultural affinity and identity with the nation. After describing his story of how his people had travelled far from the corners of the world, Keechoo allowed him and his people to stay and they made an Inn in the lands of Palovina which was known as the Paltalia. Yet it was soon renamed to Asahiri, as Asahiri was the term to describe the emerald city which lay around the bright green flora. Loic had become infatuated with the culture and rich history with Haven and his people began to adopt the same nationalist romanticism of the continent having visited Hapatmitas on their free time. It was after this time, that Loic had begun to expand his base preaching unionization which was popular amongst those of the Southwestern corner of the continent. Asahiri in time would become the most populated city in the fastest amount of time, climbing to a staggering 40 people in it's height.

Rise to Influence and Coup of Paloro
In time, Loic's preaching of unification was reached by a wide audience. Even foreign powers seemed to be receptive, yet many older players viewed him as being ill-fit and inexperienced to truly rule a unified nation. Yet, his followers had seen his leadership and believed he was capable, not in brute force, but as a leader to unify the continent. Many had perceived him in many different lights, but ultimately, the situation had brought turmoil to the continent, and lines were drawn asserting the sides of Unionists and those who had wished to maintain the status quo. Loic was hesitant to truly embark on a full conflict, aware of the potential strength of an unknown enemy. His allies were skeptical of his hesitance, believing that Loic had placed an emphasis too strongly on the strength of his opponents. Yet his actions proved to be noteworthy as it caused a massive upheaval and was the main reason for the booming population which flocked to Asahiri during the beginning of the 4th generation boom. By mid February, his followers had grown to 30 individuals who all lived in Asahiri.

This is the beginning of the Bal Election Crisis.

Shortly after reaching such a staggering population, Keechoo had become skeptical of his continued approval by the citizens of Paloro. The majority of them lived in Asahiri and had considered that city to be the capital over Palovina. It had gotten so out of control that Loic was seen as the true leader as whenever diplomats had arrived, they would go to him. Even the citizens would view him as the King as Loic was present and constantly assisting with construction. His rise as a leader drew such a popularity in Paloro that his advisors in the Mayorship of Asahiri had pushed him to speak to Keechoo about perhaps being adopted in ruling as the new King. The original deal for Keechoo, was that if he became King of Paloro for only some days, he would use his powers to draw his new Union Alliance with the southwestern nations of Boulderov and Dolaria to create a coalition. After this, he would propose unification with Uldarash under a new government that would finally tie up the continent under one unified banner. At the time, Haven was dominated by an inactive Uldarash which was ruled sparsely and disconnected in many locations. Loic had seen this as a chance to make a name for his people and under threat of popular uprising, Keechoo agreed to these demands. It was during this moment that the formation of the Theocratic Empire of Haven, this was a short lived Empire.

Yet soon after, this event would be known as the Coup of Paloro as Keechoo would begin a campaign to slander Loic to once again regain power. His plans soon fell apart as a result of foreign pressures by major powers in Rathnir.

As King of Paloro
As King, Loic had spent most of his time in the city without a home, rather living in the Inn amongst his people. It was noted for what he lacked in martial capability he made up for in his ability to micro-manage the city and delegate land efficiently for all his people. He was popular due to his ability to take down these small issues which arose. Many of his downsides came about of martial capability as he is by no means a skilled fighter to gain any fame. He was criticized for his rash decision making at times, but ultimately it seems that his temperament can change depending on the severity of the issue. Nonetheless, these are rumors, and the outcomes of his rule, although short lived, proved to be a successful management of the largest city in Haven. He also established the short-lived Compact of Asahiri as well as mandating the construction of a monastery near Aufsdale which was abandoned mid-construction due to the rising conflict.

Valentine Exodus to Viodoxa
The events after the Coup of Paloro have already shown it's influence in Haven, yet as of right now his whereabouts currently is unknown. Loic has maintained a level of incognito(in roleplay) and had continued to hide his identity in order to keep the peace with his neighbors and foreign powers. Believing he was wronged and framing the abandoned city of Asahiri as being a fault of Keechoo, Loic at first was incognito as Lothair and left to Viodoxa. Many of his followers have long left him, as he let them leave if they doubted his ability to continue as the leader of his people. All that is truly confirmed is that Loic has abandoned the Asharu faith believing that Ashuntash had abandoned the path of the righteous. During his Exodus, he had discussed the possibility of becoming leader of the new land and was granted the rank of Archon thus forming a diarchy with Viodoxa. Zelious, a trusted warrior, supported him and was given the rank of Council member of Synkletos in Viodoxa. This change in demographics brought about a massive cultural diffusion in which the Hanuyamese people in which they were known as Hanzeizh, a mixture of Viodoxan and Hanuyamese descendants. Loic himself travelled to Viodoxa and established another mega-city known as Valentum. This city was named Valentum after the Valentine Exodus. The people began to rebuild, disheartened but hoping to make a name for themselves.

Archon of Viodoxa, Resurgence
Due to the massive population led by Loic, and the trust of his allies in Viodoxa. Spike, the old Archon granted him the same title under a new government known as the Diarchy. This government would have two Archons with the same power. Swiftly, Loic took control of internal development to build massive cities and send settlers across the lands in order to expand Viodoxan influence across the remnants of Sorveien. Yet through this, he had still been troubled by the consequences of his past conflicts. Loic consolidated his forces after having been attacked by the Escharians. Unable to defeat them in a head on engagement despite his overwhelming forces as they attacked at night when the men were not mobilized. There was a boom in population once again and a resurgence in art and culture.

First Constitutional Convention
When the Paloran people arrived on the island of Ethreon, the leadership of both sides met to organize a new government. Loic had hoped to regain his power as a leader of a nation on paper. He formulated a plan for a new government which would break the tie and cement a true Diarchy. Spike's leadership abilities and prestige alongside Loic's popularity was a good combination for the foundation of a prosperous nation. It was an unspoken rule that Loic would handle international affairs due to his activity and ability to handle the complexities of geopolitics on Rathnir. The First Constitutional Convention was influenced heavily by Loic and Valen as both had proposed a formal treaty. The accepted draft was strung up by Valen and edited by Loic. It was then approved by Spike who cemented it into law and delegated the roles of synkletos.

The Vio-Auroran War
After the blueprints for the city of Valentum were published, Loic's location was found by King Aurelian who had kept it in tabs for future plans of attacks. It wasn't long when the citizens who had lived in Istanboulder were accused of having stolen goods from the Auroran King, and the men of Uldarash lead by King Aurelian marched to Valentum in the hopes of finding the goods. Loic saw this as a continued harassment based of old grievances. Angered by the sudden attack, Loic made a desperate attempt to pray to a new god. He saw the attacks from the spirits as a sign that perhaps Asharu was a false faith. During the siege, Loic had called upon Hicarys to grant him the support of the spirits in exchange for the conversion of the nation. It was not long until the spirits has arrived and the rally of Viodoxan soldiers had pummeled Aurelian's men forcing a route. Yet, the war did not end there, despite war never having been declared, the attack was enough to set off multiple skirmishes such as a massacre which had occurred in Shaloma causing the death of innocent civilians. Loic had claimed it was Aurelian who planned such an act, yet there was never any evidence other than the coincidence.

Loic planned to bring along his entire army and plan a counter attack to Fornost in order to finally end the war. The following day, Viodoxan forces marched upon Fornost and dealt a devastating blow to the infrastructure and defences of Aurora's land. This last victory effectively pushed Aurelian into surrender which lead to peace talks in Hapatmitas.

Conversion and Akerei de Sud
Following the victory against Aurora, Loic fulfilled his promise to Solaris and converted to Soleannen. In his conversion he brought a long a large portion of his population including much of the royal family. The dem Spheniscidae family and many loyal supporters converted to Soleannen following the patron god Hicarys and some to Sylene. Ultimately, this day was a huge event for Soleannen followers as it marked the reach of Soleannen into the continent of Cymru. To this day, Soleannen faith is a huge influence on Hanzeizh and Viodoxan culture as well as the backbone for morality and ethics in the nation. Loic took the pilgrimage that day and swam into Lileannen to be baptized by d3bi and Pope who performed the ceremony. Loic was inspired to continue his spreading of the faith and became a widely known zealot of the religion.

Assassination of Gobshire and Rivalry
During his resurgence in fame, Loic was aware of the many enemies that wanted him to fail. Particularly, an old member of Viodoxa known as Gobshire. He had intercepted messenger pigeons which had been threatening to murder and topple the government of Viodoxa. Hoping to send a message and eliminate this threat, Loic called upon yaykei and his son Zelious to pursue and take down this menace. Gobshire was last reported in the seas of Kush in Umbria. Not wanting to head too close to his old home, he was reluctant but still ventured with yaykei far near Haven. His journey's was reported in a book which he acquired from Gobshire's body. It took many weeks of travelling and upon the arrival of the archipelago's by Kush, they had been stuck for some time traversing the glaciers. During this Zelious had almost drowned when an avalanche nearly submerged him in water; miraculously, Zelious pulled himself out with the help of yaykei and Loic. After a couple more days, they reached the shores of Umbria where yaykei, having infiltrated the communications of Gobshire had the task of luring him out. Yet, this failed and Gobshire was alerted of their arrival. Immediately, yaykei cut him down and Loic took his belongings in order to discover his plans where he intercepted his personal journal. Afterwards, they had vanished and it is unknown where Gobshire had respawned. Now, he is on the loose in Rathnir and the nation of Umbria was unaware of Gobshire's treachery.

Loic's War and Rise of the New Guard
Loic as written in his journal, had many ambitions including establishing a new set of powers in the world. Yet in his mind, he felt that this was a far-fetched dream and instead focused on domestic affairs including sabotages and roads being hampered by others. Rogue citizens of Viodoxa had perhaps been involved which was his original thought when investigating these attacks on domestic affairs. Yet, after a raid by Andorn, Loic had been preparing for future raids and successfully fended off Himo's band of raiders in Istanboulder. Infuriated by another attack, Loic began raising an army in secret which coincidentally coincided with Debi's Declaration. This coincidence caused Canine, King of Aurora to respond by sending messages to Loic about having received word of the new army and believing Loic would use it against Uldarash. Loic, confused, correlated that Canine was the one responsible for the sabotages and spying on his land. Many saw this is a drastic action, but the harassment of Viodoxan lands caused Loic not to stand down for talks. He did however, attempt to speak with the Emperor of Uldarash to allow him to attack Aurora without the need for an Uldarashi defense. But this was obviously denied. He used the army initially meant for a training in counter-raids to attack Uldarash alongside the Soleannen spirits. Valen disciplined the men as they marched and began sieging the lands of Sanctuary. Afterwards, the army single-handedly occupied Hapatmitas and were victorious with minimal casualties. Loic's victory had caused Uldarash to suddenly shatter which came to the surprise of Loic. His intentions were to simply enforce the previous treaties, but now with his name being enshrined as having been the reason for Uldarash's collapse was something he feared. He did not wish to be seen as an evil conqueror and rather than pursue a further conflict with Aurora, he immediately began peace talks despite not directly attacking Auroran lands.

The conclusion of the war had effectively established a new order of nations in terms of the official great powers. Aurora left in the wake of the fallen Uldarashi Empire, and Viodoxa a great power in the southeastern realms. Though Theios-Essukdal, Viodoxa, Second Empire of Uldarash, and Bardonia proclaim themselves as the 'new guard', claiming to be 'great powers' due to their 'activity and power'.

Hapatmitas Crisis
In the aftermath of Loic's War, the Imperial Archonate was ceded the province of Aruna with the capitol of Hapatmitas for safekeeping by the Uldarashi Government. This quickly led to a potential conflict when the Second Empire of Uldarash formed and began demanding the return of Aruna. Loic was a stark anti-uldarash politician and had advocated against the unity of another Haven Empire. He knew it was inevitable, but he wanted to make a statement in the international world that Uldarash was dead. Despite not wanting to have killed Uldarash, it's death established a vacuum which he believed would prove useful for future strategic gains. Valen had wanted to solve the issue diplomatically as he commanded the Altesian forces. Yet, Loic who's detachment of troops had returned to Viodoxa had hoped to use Aruna has a bargaining tool. Archon Spike had returned from his illness and thus Valen was no longer in his place. Loic's perception was that if a trade deal were to be made with any Uldarashi Empire, he would not sign it as it would recognize the continuation of the first dynasty which had fallen. In order for the crisis to be solved, Loic wished that the international community would recognize any subsequent Empire in Haven as being a successor state. Some saw this as being a petty move, yet as a populist ruler, his supporters saw this as a powerful move and one that would only bolster the pride of Viodoxan citizens. Valen was heavily against this idea, as he saw this as useful in propelling the interest of Viodoxa abroad. Loic was only brought to the table about letting go of Aruna in exchange for financial compensation which was suggested by Valen.

Loic decided to call upon a friend StoryStudio, leader of Theios-Essukda l in order to come to terms with the crisis and bridge the distance between the Empires. Storystudio was eager to bridge an alliance with the emerging Empire of Viodoxa and saw fit to be the mediator. It is debated what was Story's intentions, but it remains to be seen. In order for this favor in finally settling peace, Storystudio would ask for a future favor.

Talks had gone up-and-down, yet ultimately what truly swayed Loic to give up Aruna was the Kushite Ultimatum and the leader of the Kush people who had pleaded to him on a personal level to simply end this rivalry. Loic and Aurelian decided it was so, and finally agreed to end the hostilities which transferred Aruna back into the hands of a new Uldarashi state.

Operation Netherrack and the United Front against Kartoffel
After having spent a large amount of time working on the peace treaty, Loic turned his sight on assisting Story in the hopes of improving world relations and fulfilling a favor asked. Theios-Essukdal was dealing with bandit issues at the time which had killed citizens who were travelling around Urnu-Arrak. After picking up on a trail regarding Admiral Kartoffel being somewhere in the Sterling Crownlands, Loic asked yaykei for a favor to discover where he might be located. Yaykei gained AdmiralKartoffels trust and was able to provide Loic with the coordinates. Loic then travelled for miles until reaching the fishing village which he stalked for hours until AdmiralKartoffel appeared. He then detained and interrogated him ransacking the village for any sign of stolen goods and killing a couple of pandits after a skirmish.

During this period of investigation, Loic created Fort Loicel(Meaning Loic's Land in Hanzeizh) with his guards which put the village under curfew. It took some time but eventually enough evidence was found to justify arresting and executing AdmiralKartoffel but he had escaped. With Valen's assistance his location was found and he was executed by Stories commands thus ending the Bandit conflict. Ultimately, the relations improved after the coalition began to repair relations to fight a common enemy.

Abdication
After having spent a significant amount of time in peace, Loic began writing a book which detailed his actions and strategies which explained much of his ambitions. The many years of peace which soon followed Viodoxas rise left him with no will to lead the country at the time. In this, he fulfilled the promise he gave to his citizens which was to abdicate the throne once there was no more conflict. His empire was complete and with the continent of Cymru unified he had nothing left to give his people. Zelious was coronated in early April and was known as the warrior-king for his extensive skills in combat.

Career as a Diplomat
After retiring, Loic focused mainly on building up the Viodoxan prestige and assisting in internal debates. He attended multiple meetings with Bardonia over Jacw and his rogue actions which nearly threatened war in Plagatea and also facilitated talks between Valen and foreign powers. Loic was known for being quite inactive during this period yet remained a presence on the server as he was a part of the deals made to take down Entropy and was essential providing key foreign intel to the Archons. Loic would go on to live as a hermit feeling that his time as a leader had run its course. He began to become even more inactive and after the death of his wife he seemed to enter a state of depression. The main thing that broke Loic was the Ferrymen war. After fighting alongside Canine and Valen he had hoped to halt the Ferrymen with his forces only to be destroyed and wounded in battle. During the chaos, he managed to escape after his royal armor had broken.

Feeling disheartened and saddened by the defeat he had simply disappeared and any assumed he had died in the battle. For months, Loic was no where to be seen and rumors began to spread of his whereabouts or perhaps if he truly did die.

The Purple Insurrection
After having been gone for many months, Loic had returned and was found by Klaus in the hinterlands of Cymru. He was told of Valen's actions as Archon and this had angered Loic who decided to attempt to speak to Valen after such a long time. Valen saw hsi return as a threat at first and misjudged his actions as being one of revenge or ambition. This led to a rift which caused Loic to be even further agitated. He then began the Purple Insurrection as it is known today.

The Purple Insurrection was a series of controversial events orchestrated by Loic and his followers. Originally, Loic had been away for nearly two months when, according to his account, he was called back to Rathnir alongside Zelious and Cristel. During his reign, from their point of view, Valen had committed a series of actions in direct opposition to the ethics of the country. Despite knowing the vast backlash he would receive, Loic first attempted to confront Valen regarding his actions. Valen refused to hear them as he claimed Loic was deceitful and a snake. The evidence to support this, according to Valen, was Loic's history of being a skilled schemer, making Valen hesitant despite their previous friendship.

The refusal of discussion infuriated Loic and, in his eyes, reinforced his view that Valen was a rotten ruler. He took it upon himself to raise an army of loyal followers to overthrow Valen or watch Viodoxa die in the process. Despite no actual engagement after this point, it didn't take long for word to reach the international community, sparking a burning hatred against Loic for his actions against a renowned ruler. Yet, to the average citizen of Viodoxa, this scenario was all too familiar. Most Viodoxan expats and citizens who recalled Loic's reign stood by him. His past actions of glory and victory were effective in bringing Viodoxa to a halt.

It was at this time that the stress of the insurrection caught up with Valen. Mere days after the insurrection began, Valen passed away from old age and the Archonate lacked a true successor. Valen's dying will was to give Viodoxa proper to Dmitry Yazov, an ardent supporter of Valen and pragmatist with an isolationist outlook. Loic, despite being upset with Valen's rule was saddened by the news of his death, with the etched memories of their past glories and valors. Loic in his grief, dropped the bid to rule as Archon once more in order to work towards a united Viodoxa for all. He merely requested to become Lord of Valentum once more, and for the Viodoxan exiles to be allowed back into the nation once more. Yazov accepted these terms and finally resolved the conflict which had nearly destroyed a great empire.

Second Reign As Archon and Viodoxan Renaissance
Yazov's reign was filled with turmoil and it was seen that many of the Viodoxan citizens were beginning to feel as if the Empire was no longer as stable as it once was. With Valen's death and Loic having caused a schism, Viodoxa was not at all united. Viodoxa sought to rise up the ranks and perhaps bring massive change to the nation which had been placed into a path of destruction. Hazel McSpiegel attempted to impeach Numis who was the partnering Archon of Yazov in a huge debate which occurred over the discussion regarding his violation of the constitution. Loic brought a movement to block this impeachment which was successful. This initial debate and the ensuing schism only worsened as Viodoxa proved to still be quite stagnant in its political movements. Either way, Yazov and Numis would then abdicate the throne as a result of the stress coming towards them. Loic then rose to Synkletos as the prior Regents Edd and Danzig became Archons for a period of only a couple days. Soon after being Archons they too saw not being fit to rule and in a bid to gain power Loic asked for the throne for which it was granted alongside Hazel. After this, Hazel revealed their true identity as being the reincarnation of Valen. This shocked all and Loic was actually happy to hear this and managed to settle with an agreement with Hazel to work for the prosperity of the nation. Soon Loic announced a reset of international negotiation and a Viodoxan Renaissance in which Viodoxa held the third constitutional convention and established the national anthem known as the Triumph of Iriditum a reference to the Vio-Auroran War.

0|(National Anthem of Viodoxa composed by Loic)



Further during the early parts of his reign, Loic created the first written document in Hanzeizh alongside the help of Regent Richard dem Spheniscidae. Hanzeizh would be the formal language of governance and had its own phonetic map and dictionary written by Loic and published by the Grand Librarian Heinrich val Oberstein who was also a Daromísâtz(meaning count in Hanzeizh) at the time. The origin of the language was a dialectal shift from Paloran, yet it began to rise in popularity after it was promoted by the state. Hanzeizh was prominent and widely used by locals to communicate between Viodoxans in secret.

Treaty of Feirefiz and Arcturus Crisis
The early stages of Loic's reign was mainly focused on preserving the perceived weak Viodoxa. Whether it was delaying the inevitable or rejuvenating national spirit, Loic knew that he must have a concise victory in any upcoming crisis. So, when the unique opportunity came it was obvious that the iconoclastic leader would embrace this chance. Arcturus, an island nation off the coast of Avaria had come to Loic in the hopes of gaining protection as they had claimed that their enemies the Volo tribe and Daeltryia were backed by Bardonia in invading the island. This was the perfect chance for Loic to perhaps make use of the diplomatic reputation of Viodoxa and facilitate some sort of deal. At first, the Volo tribe ruler Marcus was fervently in denial for peace and had persisted in pursuing conflict as he, like many, believe Viodoxa was a paper tiger. This was not yet proven, yet Loic believed there was a way to perhaps end this conflict before it had even started. Hoping to restrict at any moment the possibility of a hostile nation on the border of Viodoxa, Bardonian or not, he began to mobilize his men to prepare defences by Feirefiz, the capital of Arcturus. Furthermore, Loic created the First Treaty of Feirefiz which brought Arcturus into Viodoxa as a province to be protected from any invasion. This was also the first document written in Hanzeizh. However, in a sudden turn of events the Field Marshall of Volo tribe contacted Loic realizing the potential risk of going to war over the island. Despite the confidence of the Volo tribe, the Marshall, Obopixel, attempted to bribe Loic with a sum of 60,000 to force Viodoxa away from intervening. This was fervently turned down and instead Loic swayed Obopixel into a more favorable deal which could divide the island into an administrative region integrating Arcturus and Volo under Viodoxan protection and guidance. This became the second Treaty of Feirefiz which peacefully solved the crisis and once again demonstrated Viodoxa's persistence in achieving peace through diplomacy. Volo-Arcturus shortly declared independence, despite the protests of Loic. Loic is quoted as saying something along the lines of "i can't really be bothered to defend the island anymore so you guys have independence" before leaving the talks. Volo-Arcturus had a short golden age with many new buildings being constructed however they were destroyed by a large tortugan force in the battle of New Volotra.

Focus on Literary Works
Following the events in Arcturus and with them peacefully succeeding soon after from Viodoxa, Loic focused a lot of his time on archiving much of the written history in which he came upon the old scroll of Paloran literature in the Hanuyamese dialect. He began to document and compile not only his stories onto paper but the written grammar of Hanzeizh into its old form of writing. It was around this time that Loic began writing the Essay on the Guard and truly began to take an interest in archiving all of Viodoxa's achievements. He began diligently creating an Hall of Annals that represented the achievements of not only Viodoxa by world leaders across Rathnir.

Eisenland War
The Eisenland War was a war that took place right after the Unification then Independence of Volo-Arcturus. Volo-Arcturus had been threatening to expand their borders into Eisenland according to Loic and with Hazel's approval senda volunteer force to assist the island nation in it's war against Volo-Arcturus. At first, the war was mainly preparing for the fight and after much clamouring the allied forces managed to reach 30 troops alongside 5 additional Tortugan mercenaries. Heavily outnumbered, Volo-Arcturus attempted to sabotage the Fort outside their cities in order to maneuver supplies between the island. Yet, this was intercepted and ultimately the city began to starve out until the Tortugan mercenaries used tridents to jump over the wall and massacre all the defenders.

The short conflict was another victory for Loic who had celebrated as per tradition with a rallying call 'Aver Viodoxa' which could be heard for miles. Volo-Arcturus having lost their entire force would surrender the island to Eisenland thus allowing them to expand their borders.

Leadership During the Third Coalition War
During the coalition war, Loic's return to Viodoxa had caused much attention being poised back to Viodoxa as Hazel and Loic were considered the golden leaders of Viodoxa. It had deterred the Magisterium from engaign in a war against Viodoxa and brought old alliances back. Loic had first focused on his cultural prestige and after winning a war in Eisenland, Viodoxan nationalism and war fervor increased rapidly. They began to remilitarize and grind for resources to prepare. With the militarization of Bardonia and the warning from Athaz, Loic had set his objective to destroy Bardonia during his reign. Having dealt with them as the number one threat not only to Viodoxa, but to Rathnir. Unlike his constituents however, Loic viewed them as another tool to increase his own personal prestige and was envious of their military might. With their downfall, he felt that Viodoxa would at least be cemented as a nation that took down two of the largest most powerful nations in history; more so, under his rule. This was a personal ambition, one which he didn't expres as it was obviously arrogant, yet he did intend to make Bardonia another major nation taken down by the Imperial Archonate.

Initially, Loic assessed his military and began branding the army without the Idomitian. This required a change of tactics, as the old Idomitian had been staved off by Valen during the early stages of Valen's reign. His most beloved guards were now a mercenary group acting independant. Despite this being a major affront, he felt confident his new military could still perform well.

After having drawn up the alliances on the map and gained old enemies in Uldarash as new friends, Loic and Hazel focused on the tactics. Ryzan, an old nation within Bardonia had been hoping for independance. Their settlements had always been bumbling with rebellion, and after secretly coordinating with the Coalition, they were prepared to rise up against Bardonia during the war.

Before making plans, Loic would survey the battlefield alongside some scouts and Ulafeng men. His old friend Tyler would do so with him as they patrolled the outskirts of the city. They managed to pick off three guards who had attempted to make defences before the battle. Loic and Tyler would do this for hours alongside Xroman and other Viodoxans hoping to kill stragglers. Once the battlefield was surveyed adn the defences visible, theyw ould relay the plans to thier Forward Operating Base at Carthya City. The plan drawn by SexyCanadian and Hazel was in Loic's words, "idiotic". They had wanted the main force to simply attack down the middle over a trench and breach into the city that was filled with traps. Meanwhile, Ulfaeng would breach the back of New Doraesterrock. Nonetheless, they had to follow through with it, as the consensus was that Ulfaeng would surprise them and thus draw their attention away from the main entry point. Loic would lead a detachment of troops while marching alongisde the colaitions forces. The main force would be under Viodoxan leadership and before making it to the city, they would fortify their position with a fort. The fort was known as Fort Resolution. The fort would be quickly build and quite useful for a surveying position. Loic would lead the men with Hazel right into the city traversing traps and obstacles. By the time they made it inside, the battle was nearly ending until the remaining army swept and killed the garrisons that remained.

By the time the battle was ending, Loic, Hazel, and Aurelian had made their way into the City Hall and proclaimed the victory. Loic had stood on the outside podium alongside Ulfaeng soldiers for a time while watching all the men cheer. The last time he would hear the ceromonius, "Aver Viodoxa!" which would ring out over what seemed to be the downfall of Bardonia. The soldiers would also cheer "None for the Self" while proclaiming the coalition as victorious. This would mark the main fight and the last battle Loic would participate in.

Shortly after this battle, Bardonia would push for peace talks and inevitably disappear with ideas on how to rip partition or punish Bardonia's wordly aggression. Eitherway, the debate had caused much internal strife on Viodoxa alongside controversy in Plagatea. The debate by many was seen as unnecessary and toxic and would lead to a plot to impeach both Archons by Synkletos Edd. Loic was the first ARchon to be impeached and removed from honorably removed from office while Hazel, who was suppsoed to be impeached did not after removing some of the Synkletos from their roles of power. According to Loic, it was Hazel who pre-emptively did this to avoid losing power as Edd and his constituents were no longer in able to impeach Hazel as well. Edd, Blanc, and others would go onto regret the decision but it was nonetheless done so.

Death after Impeachment | Annihilation of Asahiri
Suffering from mental breakdowns and due to his old age he began to go mad revolving the entire situation. He self-exiled himself and went off on his own towards his homeland on a pilgrimage. He remarked about being haunted by the gods and specifically speaking directly with Borealis. After being spotted by Paloran citizens they followed him to Asahiri where he entered the Town Hall and met Borealis. Borealis the god of Change spoke with Loic and after seeing his suffering granted a deal in exchange for the truth of Loic's ancestry. There in the town hall he killed himself signing a deal with the god to find out his ancestry. After finding out he was Niedean, he smiled as he died. Soon after, the entire city bursted into flames and lava replaced the water surrounding it all. The city was completely blown asunder. Paloran citizens died and multiple wither-beings appeared killing all in their path. Now all that stands is a large sharp mountain signifying where Borealis made his mark down onto the world.

Resurrections as a Soleannen Spirit
After a day or two in secret, the Soleannen clergy after hearing of his destruction of Asahiri and wanting to bring back a valuable figure through Soleannen history, decided to resurrect Loic as an immortal spirit. This would be kept in secret as Loic would walk back to Asahiri and roam the lands as a protector of its history. To this day, Loic remains walking and visitors can summon and ask him questions. He is finally at peace.

Loic is considered a Champion of the Soleannen Faith and is noted in the religions history as its most recent major champion. His history sets an example, not only of the sort of ambition that newer players can have and achieve, but also how even the weakest of fighters can become leaders. His legacy will remain as being the first Niedean-Soleannen Ruler of Cymru and the founder of one of the most powerful Empires of Rathnir which with its two golden-ages managed to destroy two Empires in its history. Perhaps, history would have been different if Pope and keechoo never ruined his reputation in Uldarash, or if he never returned after the Purple Insurrection. Nonetheless, he remains as a figure of much controversy but it can't be denied that he played a major role in the politics and history of Rathnir during his tenure.
