Antonius Drake

Artoni Drakas, better known as Antonius Drake (Stellate_Zealot), is a human male. He currently resides in Northport, serving its Secretary under the Via Sinclair Administration. As such he serves as the right hand man to Arutor (Lord) Sythe Via Sinclair. He wasn't regarded under the name of Antonius Drake until he claimed it for himself from his book of origins; before this, he was regarded as Stellate Zealot, a name that stuck from the same book of origins.

A ripple from another World
Antonius' past before his arrival in Rathnir is largely based several books, one of which he had upon awaking for the first time. The Drakes would later dubb these books "The Colonial Chronicles." The first in the series, "A Tale of Colonies & the Stellate Zealot" is essentially a journal about an unknown man's time on an overseas continent that's being colonized. While this man's name is never disclosed, his title is regarded as "The Stellate Zealot." Antonius would go from simply admiring the character to evermore associating himself with it. The similarities would crossover between the two so much that it became clear that he was actually the same person from this very book. As such, while it did not occur in Rathnir, here follows the Early Life of Antonius Drake.

Arrival & Journey across Rathnir
Antonius first awoke on the sands of Yimmu-Audul, & traveled along a dusty road until he reached a coast. He was able to make a raft to cross the Southern Ocean, & would travel across the waters foraging & fishing to survive. He would eventually make landfall on a peninsula, where he unknowingly was confronted by Bardonian militants. He was accused of being a squatter after making his claim to traveling across the lands to simply find out why he was here - and was abruptly chased off thier territory, fleeing from the raining arrows overhead.

Antonius' next interaction was with the people of Montriog, who were currently amidst thier Civil War within Uldarash, whom fought under the Loyalist banner. They shunned him away for not being a trained swordsman & not being aware of thier struggle, so he would follow the coast of Haven, where he would eventually find himself in the state of Aurora. He was cautious to sail around one of the port cities due to his previous hostile encounters, where he thought two soldiers were eyeing him up. Eventually, he stumbled through the thorny brush surrounding the walls of great city of Fornost,

The Auroran Fishing Guild
During his first days in Aurora, Antonius worked with Sythe Via Sinclair & Durwin Destrae to plan a foundation for the Auroran Fishing Guild. It was created to provide a community for fishers across the kingdom (and at the time, Uldarash as a whole) by securing set prices for fisher's to sell enchanted books to the Order, & also informing new players of the ins-and-outs of fishing whilst equipping them with an enchanted God-Rod. In the long term, it plans to provide an in-depth fishing log so all havenites can use it to fish at maximum efficiency, i.e. fish during peak times in the right biomes.

After December, Sir Destrae was found of the coast of Huitca after a horrid accident during a fishing trip. His vessel was recovered & sits on the eastern docks of Northport as a memorial to the founder. Arutor Sythe still serves as a guild manager alongside Antonius to this day. In May of 2022, the Guild HQ was moved from the Merchant district of Fornost - where it resided since its founding - to the Gull Parkway district of Northport.

Civil War in Haven, the Eldham Entente, & the Collapse of Uldarash
Antonius had never known a time up to this point where Aurora wasn't in the middle of a conflict, wherein they were currently in the middle of the Uldarashi Civil War when he first joined. While he initially joined the Order, he did not see active combat during the civil conflict. Instead, he aided Aurora by constructing one of many forts that would be used as a precaution against invaders Alfheim & Montriog. As he lived in Northport during this time, he boarded up his house before the invaders came sometime during November, serving as a witness to the remains of the Iron Soldier - whom was the only real casual on the Imperial side of the Battle of Northport, as he held off the Alfheim-invaders until reinforcements could arrive.

Leadership in Northport
In early March of 2022, Sythe Via Sinclair was called upon by Ward "Bourbonknight" Ganeff to lead the city of Northport as its new Mayor. Evermore, Sir Sythe asked his best friend Antonius to work alongside him in the revival of the city as its Secretary.
