Tirado

Biography
Tirado is a Norade Nether-nomad, a tribe of warrior-mystics who use Nether portals to fast-travel across the world, seeking enlightenment. He is friendly, but reserved among strangers. He wears the skull of a Wither Skeleton he fought once as a helmet, which he seldom removes except among friends. In the way of his people, he traveled a great distance through the Nether to reach the world of Rathnir, exiting a portal somewhere on the continent of Nieden. The first thing a Norade does upon returning to the surface world is look for somewhere to settle and study, and one of the first of such places Tirado found was an old ruin on the border between the Simulami Empire and the former Triumverate of Denumain. He envisioned constructing a grand Sanctuary Fortress on the land, like his forefathers had done in other lands, a center of learning and wisdom. After getting his bearings [OOC Spending a week offline writing lore] he set to work.

Tirado had hardly begun building anything before he was tracked down and attacked by neighboring squatters. He was cut down and left to die, his supplies lost or stolen. His initial naivete broken, he wandered to the nearest city - Müviel, the former capital of the Simulami Empire. Upon explaining himself and his intentions to those in authority there, he set to work constructing what would become Müviel's own Raja Zir Grand Imperial Archives, later founding the Sterling Order of Archivists. He has become a good friend of the now-Governor of Convellirae, Robb, and finds the Simulami Empire's building style to be very agreeable. He owns a house in the Simulami capital of Nuvallen, but spends most of his time laboring in his library in Müviel.

It was during the construction of the Raja Zir Archives that Tirado met the Gaians - Namely their leader, Adashi Cornaro, and TenAnimal. Together they would found the Nomads of Rathnir association, a forum dedicated to the affairs of nomadic cultures, and the Nomadic Trade Alliance, which seeks to repair deteriorating trade relations through the widespread adoption of dedicated nomadic Trade Caravans. Tirado remains a close ally to the Gaians in their efforts to rehabilitate the overworld, at one point helping to mediate a crisis involving the Gaian home base of Marsium and the surrounding Escharii Duchy of Suderen.
