"'Remember, Alfheim is not the cities or towns or houses, but the people'" Delta Bolodrav is an Alfheimi statesman, soldier and playwright who served as the first Prime Minister of Alfheim from 0 RE to 4 RE. Appointed by his fellows as the Prince of Schwarzfeld, he could not prevent their expulsion from Syltör. He led his people to Haven, where they would found the Republic of Alfheim.

As Prime Minister, he saw through the construction of its Capital, Chervonstad and the founding of the towns of Sagan Tosu and Chervonliqen, the latter eventually becoming part of Chervonstad. Delta played an indispensable role during the formative years of the country. Many of his policies are still used in some way or another.

Delta negotiated the incorporation of Aravind into Alfheim. This deal doubled the size of the republic, but would later lead to a brief civil war due to King Alvar II’s dissatisfaction with the deal.

Early Life (18 PRE to 1 PRE)
Delta was born to Mimek Bolodrav and Joan K. Baggins in 18 PRE at Pedregal, Boulderov as the couple’s second child. At an early age, Delta showed an interest in listening to and telling stories. Whilst not getting a formal education, Delta received lessons in mathematics, writing and the basics of politics from his parents.

At an unknown date Delta went missing from Pedregal and end up on the streets of Akunamvula, Tortuga having contracted lycanthrophy. He had to live off the streets for weeks until he was found by a young Mat, who became friends with Delta. In 1 PRE, Mat invited Delta to join a planned rebellion against Sexy, the Pirate Emperor. He accepted and became the propaganda minister for the rebels. During this time, Delta met his best friend and future co-founder of Alfheim Niftyzebra, Piotik von Burg. In the month preceding the planned uprising, Delta met Stoneworks (user) who inspired the name of the rebellion after giving Delta the Saint's Blood. The plot, now known as the Red Turban Rebellion, would end in a massacre and the exile of its members.

After his exile, Delta was convinced by Shark, another former Red Turban, to move to Bardonia during the Allium-Coalition War. This led to the founding of the Principality of Schwarzfeld with Delta as its prince. He quickly transformed it into a republic. Before the new state could grow and developed, its people were expelled from Bardonia, despite Uldarashi and Viodoxan guarantees to protect it.

In 2 PRE Delta would seek refuge in Montroig where he met Marrie Gooblegins. The two quickly became friends and Delta was officially adopted into the familiy as her brother. During his time in Montroig Delta became inspired by Caterina of Montroig, the Elected Empress of Uldarash at the time. He grew to love the reforms she was pushing for in the Second Empire of Uldarash and was encouraged to go and speak to her. During this meeting, Delta was offered a gift. He was given territory within the Uldarash imperial lands to create a new republic for him and his fellow exiles from Schwarzburg. To this day, Delta feels that he owes Caterina everything for letting Delta and his friends settle down.

Prime Minister
Delta was elected to be the first Prime Minister of The Republic of Alfheim on the 3rd of Eldhach year 1. The first year of his term was focused on building Chervonstad, the capital city of the new republic. It saw a big and fast expansion in construction and population. Parliament road and Republic street were constructed, giving home to the ministers and the first citizens. Later in the year it became Delta started the construction of the stables, founded Alfheim’s miner's union, worked on the public mine, and several pubs were opened.

By the beginning of his second year in office, a severe housing crisis began, as more and more people moved to Alfheim. Most of the people found their way to the other Alfheimi cities of Sagan-Tosu and Chervonliqen. However, this was not enough, and homelessness remained a mayor issue. Delta resolved this by starting a mayor building program. Unlike earlier construction efforts, it was declared that anyone who built a house would receive a reward. After a few days, Democracy Square and Adilol avenue were constructed, along with many new homes, putting an end to the housing crisis.

Later in his term, Delta began negotiations with King Alvar II for a potential merging of their respective states. This culminated in the signing of the Midgard Union agreements. The merging of Alfheim and Aravind lead to Alfheim becoming big and populous, causing many smaller states to become envious of it. The Republic’s rapid growth and expansion made it the 4th most populous State in Uldarash in its first month. Beating founding states such as Sanctuary and The Kingdom of Boulderov.

Alfheimi Depression
Delta did not run again for the position of Prime Minister after his term ended. Instead, in 4 RE, he announced that he would run for the position of minister of culture. During his campaign, Delta promised to develop Alfheim’s burgeoning cultural identity. After winning the election and being sworn in, Delta started working on building Alfheim’s first library. This was built just outside the walls of Chervonstad right opposite Castle Von Alfen. Besides just building the library, he also wrote several books on the history of Alfheim to add to the initial collection.

The Prime Ministership of Piotik would be marked with a general decline of Alfheim and a rise in monarchist feeling in the young republic. Tensions between Alfheim and all its neighbors, Chevkri and Sanctuary, began to arise. During this time Renitsu, then the effective ruler of Sanctuary, and Sabiszos, ruler of Alagadda, began to act more aggressively towards Alfheim. At the same time, Piotik’s responses to this only worsened the situation in Alfheim and its relations with other states. This all came to a head during the upcoming election cycle. Immediately suspicious of Rettery von Burg’s and Ren’s election campaign for the King’s Party, Delta began to investigate their intentions. Based on the things he found, he determined that they were planning to turn Alfheim into a puppet kingdom for Sanctuary. As a result, Delta would run on a joint ticket with the popular Minister of Defence, Ashley, with Delta as vice prime minister. Together they were able to beat Rettery’s and Ren’s campaign and secure Alfheim’s status as a republic.

Vice Prime Minister
In 8 RE Alfheim was in a bad shape, the population was declining, and the economy was stagnant. Together with Ashley, Delta began to work on revitalizing Alfheim. As part of this project, he built Alfheim’s New Parliament and the southern district of Chervonstad. These efforts along with the founding of Axel turned Alfheim’s fortunes around for the coming decades.

During the period of tensions between Axel and Alfheim, Delta used his existing relationship with Nifty to calm things down. This eventually allowed the dispute to fizzle out without causing a civil war in Alfheim.
