Riff The One

"" Riff_The_One, simply knwon as Riff, was an active player between around August, 2020, and December, 2021. He spent his time in various endeavors as a recluse writer, noble, bureaucrat and entrepreneur.

On Yimmu-Audal
Yimmu-Audal was the nation where Riff first spawned in Rathnir. He spent his early days wandering about and visiting each town of the empire at the time. He wrote a book about his travels, simply named On Yimmu-Audal, describing every place in great visual detail. In his journey, Riff met Grey Is Yes while Grey was starting off the construction of Eldal-Adadi. In the capital, Riff also met Ghastly_Bespoke building one of the great temples of Urnu-Arrak.

Going South
After publishing his book, Riff went on to found a settlement in the southernmost region of Yimmu-Audal at the time, across the Atsyllean Sea. There were no buildings anywhere near him, aside from the abandoned Monastery Against Bread. Despite this, the Kingdom of Tálor, part of Yimmu-Audal, had a claim to the land. Shortly after Riff settled, he was contacted by Ghastly_Bespoke, who proposed he should join the kingdom. Riff accepted the invitation and would live in that region for the most part of his active days.

In his settlement, Riff spent most of his time alone. He built a farm to help him get materials to craft books so he could make a living selling copies of his. He managed to get a few deals with librarians, but eventually went inactive for a few months. He lost the claim to his settlement after not paying upkeep and upon returning, found his home sacked.

Baronos
With his first settlement ruined, Riff decided to found Baronos in a coastal island west of his old home. Grey_Is_Yes helped with money and materials. However, due to its remote location, Riff didn't manage to find people who wanted to live there. He was left mostly to his own once again, and eventually decided to start a potion-trading business in the town.

Baronos joined the Kingdom of Tálor from the start, thus also becoming a town of Yimmu-Audal. This earned Riff a position in the small nobility of the empire. After the Coalition War, Tálor became independent, but inactivity from its members allowed a takeover by the United Empire of Akratia. With no chance to fight, Riff accepted to join the invaders peacefully. However, he'd later help MysticCrafter and Ghastly_Bespoke in diplomatic missions that allowed Theios-Essukdal to take back the territory of Tálor and integrate it to the empire as the Atsyllean County, with Ghastly still ruling over it.

Some time after this, Ghastly stepped down as the leader of the County and pointed Riff as her successor. He would keep Baronos, but moved to the Island of Tálor. The Atsyllean County would later become the Duchy of Tálor, and Riff rose to the rank of Duke in the Audalad nobility.

Whereabouts
Nowadays, Riff_The_One is the Chief Executive Officer of Mercado Inc. He was also appointed by Ghastly Bespoke as Count of the Audalad Atsyllean County, which would later on become the Duchy of Tálor, with him as its Duke. He also holds a bureaucratic post as Royal Treasurer of Yimmu-Audal.
