Valendaesu

Valenore Ciiréa, also known as Val to their close friends, is a citizen of the Soleannan Imperium. They were previously an Akesor for the former Escharian Empire before Galitz and its citizens were sold to Gertonia, as per the agreement stated in the Treaty of Jharana, where they served on Gertonia’s high council before being exiled.

Origins
Like many Enderlings, Valenore was born in the dark realm of the End. As a child, they had a strong interest in stories of those who traveled to another world outside of the End. As they learned to use the Enderling's ability of teleportation magic, they wasted no time leaving their home to enter the world of Rathnir. Val ended up in the waters of the Huitca Federation, where they eventually began to explore the different towns and communities established there. After a few days of traveling, they came across the desert town of Regnum. Here, they were greeted by the leader of the town. Val talked to the leader for a time, before they were given an offer to live there. Val accepted, and was officially welcomed as a Huitcan citizen. They spent quite a long time in this town, meeting many varieties of people while helping build and expand the town. Like so many others though, Val believed that there was more that waited for them outside of Regnum. With a somber farewell, they left the Federation and sailed to the Nieden continent.

Escharian Empire
Val arrived on the western shores of what is now the Soleannan Imperium, where they came across the seaside town of Chileambore (Now Egalia). Val met with the leader of the town, intending to only stay for a short time. However, Val ended up staying in Chileambore, and built a house in the middle of the town. They were granted citizenship in Escharia, and converted to the Soleannen religion, which was practiced by most citizens in the nation. They remain a faithful Soleannen follower to this day, taking part in Soleannen gatherings and meetings with higher-ups in the clergy.

Valenore greatly enjoyed their time in Chileambore, but unfortunately the town began to suffer from severe inactivity from most residents. Eventually the claim shrunk to nearly nothing, and they were forced to leave. However, shortly after leaving they stumbled across FaBiolUs08 in the town of Galitz. Val had a great interest in the town, having heard of its age and the history it has been through. With some convincing, FaBiolUs08 let Val become the third Akesor of Galitz, with Fab coming to check on them and the town every few days. Over the coming days, Val had great success in getting more people in the town, raising the population to ten people within a week. After Galitz was properly repopulated, Val was finally able to meet with other Akesors in the Varmerion and Reykara duchies, becoming friends with many. This included FaBiolUs08, who after giving Val ownership of Galitz, began focusing on his leadership in Nikephoros.

Galitz-Thanutabad Crisis
Shortly after repopulating Galitz, Val was informed by a citizen that there was another town being built right outside of its front gates called Thanutabad. They told Fab, who informed them that Thanutabad was what is considered a squatter town. He told Val to focus on growing Galitz while he began to talk with the owner of Thanutabad, TheManAndPlan47. TheMan hesitated to integrate into the Empire, as the citizens did not wish to be forcefully converted to Soleannen. These talks eventually turned into small arguements, ending with threats of Thanutabad's destruction. In response to this, the citizens of Thanutabad destroyed large parts of Galitz's walls and buildings, leaving the city extremely vulnerable to bandits and others who wished to steal from the city. Val informed Fab of this, and he told the neighboring towns in the Reykara duchy to prepare for an assault against Thanutabad. However, Val felt that Galitz and its citizens weren't prepared for a fight. They managed to contact TheMan, and they reached an agreement that was satisfactory for everyone involved. TheMan would be granted citizenship and would convert to Soleannen, and his citizens could stay in the city without going through this process. He would be held responsible if his citizens caused any more destruction. TheMan and Val remain on very good terms today, still leading their respective towns in Gertonia.

Gertonian Expansion
Due to the agreement stated in the Treaty of Jharana, Galitz and Thanutabad were in territory that the Holy Kingdom of Gertonia had expanded into. Both Val and TheMan were outraged at the fact that Escharia sold them to a nation that they knew nearly nothing about. Val especially felt betrayed by the ones that took them in and gave them what they had. The citizens of both towns weren't too happy with this either, and the city of Galitz lost all of the trust and respect that they had for Escharia. FaBiolUs08 was angry as well, and shared Galitz's frustration. They were constantly told by the Emperor of Escharia that they would negotiate new borders for Gertonia, but this never happened. With their trust for Escharia lost, and unwillingness to know their new rulers, there was a large outcry for an independence movement. The city council in Galitz and the entirety of Thanutabad had a majority in the vote for what they'd do next. That day, the Duumvirate Kingdom of Curio was founded, with Val and TheMan being the rulers of the region. For only two short days they were independent, before TheKaiserJeremy contacted Val. Jeremy went on to explain that there was a lot of miscommunication between all parties, and that Gertonia offered more freedoms and opportunities than Escharia could ever grant them. With this new information, Val and TheMan happily agreed to joining Gertonia, and the Kingdom of Curio was dissolved. They were both given high positions in the Gertonian government, and their cities began to grow and expand at a fast rate. This growth and expansion continued to effect both Galitz and Thanutabad until mid February 2022.

Leaving Gertonia and the founding of Solitude
Due to many problems within Gertonia’s government, Val and many others tried reforming the government and presenting their thoughts to Jeremy. However, Jeremy saw this as an act of defiance and rebellion, and stripped them all of their ranks. Each town was emptied, including Galitz.

The town leaders, along with their citizens, were welcomed back into what is now the Soleannan Imperium with open arms, with the generous offer of being given a new town just across the Soleannan-Gertonian border. They all accepted the offer, and founded the town of Solitude, where Val currently helps govern.

A new opportunity
Not long after helping establish Solitude, a government reform took place within the Imperium that brought back the core Escharian duchies as separate territories. In the Duchy of Egalia, the town of Celtenn was left without an Akesor. Taking into consideration the success of Galitz, Imperium higher ups granted Val the position of Akesor once again. They are currently working to repopulate and restore the empty town, hoping to see the same success they saw during their time at Galitz.
