Stovian Tennyth

Stovian Tennyth is a scientist who is currently researching and experimenting with End Portals. He has recorded the locations of fourteen End Portals in Rathnir and now looks to learn as much as he can from them.

Early Life
Stovian grew up in Gold Tree of the Empire of Uldarash. Here he was told stories and legends of how many people suddenly appeared in Rathnir. Of a world named Jagdas and how calamity befell it. Stovian felt curiosity and wonder towards these stories, making it his dream to discover more.

In his early adulthood Stovian decided to dedicate his life to the search for answers. Answers to Jagdas, the people who fled, and how they did so. Though he immediately encountered a road block. There was little to no books, scrolls or even papers covering the matters. Asking people of the town met him with skepticism and doubt that the legends were true. He realized then that he would have to leave home. Seek knowledge where it was plentiful. So Stovian began his journey, leaving behind Gold Tree at the age of 17.

First End Portal Discovery
After 5 years of searching, reading, and asking scholars and historians. Stovian found nothing significant to further his search. It was crushing, the history was either kept secret, it was not recorded well in Uldarash, or they were simply stories. He decided to prepare to leave Uldarash and travel to Alteniquia. Where Yimmu-Audal is located, supposedly the nation that escaped from Jagdas. Just before casting off Stovian heard from fishermen that a small island in the West of the Rough Sea had some strange structures under water. The island was on the path to Altenipuia, so he charted a course to include it.

He cast off that day, in hopes to find more in Yimmu-Audal. Although his journey took an unexpected turn when he finally arrived near the small island. What he thought would be simple structures of the drowned, was actually what he was searching for. The stone bricks and architecture were unmistakable, a rumored Stronghold. Said to hold an End Portal. Stovian landed as soon as he could, beaching his small boat. A small purple tent was erected, and then he began to dig. Low and behold, as the day reached it's end he found it. Stovian Tennyth stood at the steps to one of the oldest structures known to Rathnir, an End Portal.

Alaar
With the End Outpost in a livable state, Stovian was in need of supplies. He sent ads out to the nearby lands, though only one responded and within a timely manner. Someone named Gem Alai from Alaar. Stovian set out and traveled there by boat. After arriving at Alaar, Gem offered to assist Stovian, be it simple supplies or a place to stay. After receiving what he needed, Stovian chatted with Gem about Alaar. To his surprise, Gem revealed that under Alaar hid an End Portal. Stovian was ecstatic. Two portals in such a short amount of time discovered? Stovian accepted Gem's offer and started to settle into Alaar. With this, he had access to two portals, as well as meeting a new friend.

Many years go by. Stovian commits to Alaar and helping it develop. Getting involved in their local government and building. The head architect, Atlas Tuaylaai, helped Stovian realize his potential as a terraformer. Using magic and magical tools, he helped design and raise the Great Cliffs of Alaar. In this time buildings, bars, and markets were created in Alaar. Ever growing in size. Among these Stovian founded the Enchanted Eye, a magical tool and gear shop. With it he was able to help fund and support the efforts towards the development of Alaar.

The Search for all End Portals in Rathnir
During Stovian's experiments with the End Portals, he found that Eyes of Ender were attracted towards End Portals. With the discovery he noted that this provided the opportunity to search for the rest of the End Portals in Rathnir. In this time he also met an adventurer named Mimek, also searching for the portals who happened across his End Outpost. This was only a simple encounter, but they would share their discoveries with each other over time.

One of the first End Portals Stovian found on this quest was paired with a strange place. A pit to the void surrounded by floating signs encased in solid air. Stovian introduced Mimek to the area, he was interested and wanted to try to decipher the strange symbols. As they were investigating, Athaz the Traveler announces himself as they arrive through a cave. His appearance was surprising, but helpful. Athaz told the story of this place. The pit and the symbols were left by Entropy when she first began to influence Rathnir. Soon after departing the information, the 3 left.

Over the next 2 years, Stovian would travel by foot following Eyes of Ender to strongholds, and word of mouth to hidden portals. Eventually, a total of 14 End Portals would be found and recorded for public knowledge. Stovian's search was complete, but his journey was not. For the portals were found, their purpose was still hidden. So, it was time to head home to Alaar and his End Outpost to start his research and experimentation on the portals.
