Vernexer of Arda

Vernexer of Arda is a recent newcomer to the world of Rathnir. He wandered for a while and then settled in the beautiful city of Rosa, in the land of Friholm. There he now lives as an ordinary citizen and bears no significant impact on the great happenings of the world.

Vernexer came to Rathnir from land of immense beauty, where ancient creatures and great races of people, elves and dwarves alike lived in harmony. Charm of this world with its mighty cities, gardens stretching as far as the eye can see, deep, uncharted forests and sky-high mountains was unmatched. But as the time passed, even though the land was ever plentiful, the inhabitants started to diminish. It began with the elves, dwarves soon followed. In the end, even the men left. Long, too long had Vernexer lingered, wandering the heavenly forests. But one day, as he dinned under a tree watching as the setting sun ignited the clouds in red and orange and yellow, he came to realise the meaninglessness of beauty without the eyes to see it, without the people to admire it with him. He left his supper unfinished as he hastily decided to leave the paradise in search of people. He made a few steps, then he stopped, thinking. He returned to the tree he had been siting under and picked a golden apple from its branches- a link to his home.
 * Backstory

Then he set off. His journey was long and tiresome. He wandered through the lands of chaos and despair, where the strong abuse the weak and hatred rules the human heart. Here however he first heard of the land of Rathnir, known as the arena of High nations. He decided to visit this land in hope of finding people, who admire beauty the way he did, but when he came to this world, he did not see beauty- he saw scorched earth destroyed by war and lust. He continued to explore the world anyway and just when he thought, that all hope was lost he came to a spruce forest, that seemed untouched unlike the surrounding lands. Vernexer looked at it and in it he saw his home. He went to the nearest town and the people told him, that he was in the land of Friholm and the town was the Friholm city. He wanted to join these people immediately and they took him in. He settled in the district of Rosa that was located on the other side of the forest and was even more charming. He built a house there and started his quest to bring at least a small piece of the beauty and fairness of his home to these good people. He also took the appellation "of Arda" as a tribute to the land he came from.


 * Vernexer's Golden Apple

The only thing he brought from the paradise land was his ever-present companion on all of his travel and now, when he settled, a day may come, when the apple is planted…
