Maz Elorion Ironhide

Childhood
Maz Elorion Ironhide was found as an infant in Trayaguard by Elorion Tian Ironhide and Tylics Ironhide and they adopted him as their first and eldest child. In his early years he spent a rather hectic life, due to constant travel as his mother was the the leader of Drak Yamar and his father held a high position inside Drakonia. This led to him mostly staying with either one of his parents as they weren’t able to meet often due to their obligations in their respective nations. During this time whenever he was with his father he learned about literature and economics, while his mother taught him how to use weapons and fend for himself. Things changed though, due to the pact of draconic siblinghood between Draakonien and Drak Yamar, better infrastructure and cooperative institutions were set up, as this now allowed the family to stay better connected overall.During these following years he also started conversing with many people from Simulami and thus when he came close to adulthood, Maz left for Simulami in an effort to achieve something himself. He quickly rose through the ranks and was assigned to rule over the tribes of the area known as Lavidol, as they were still rather unruly after being subjected a few years back.

Rulership of Lavidol
To calm down the lavidolians Maz started making concessions to them in an effort to calm the tensions. His first act to achieve this was to make the Lavidolian “Castle Georgi” into a historic site. Furthermore he reformed the towns administration, bringing in the tribal leaders as appointed “Chiefs” to help and provide better representation for their own people. Furthermore the town's architectural style was reformed into a more refined style, while still keeping its original roots and the town was properly connected to the road network, allowing for easier trade flow. During this timeframe Maz got into talks with Zdunke, the mayor of a nearby town, at a festival. They gained great admiration for each other and were good friends, also promoting mutual cooperation between their towns. Their friendship was cut short though as Zdunke became afflicted with a mysterious illness that started to drain away his life forces. Throughout all of this Maz insisted on caring for him in the hope that his friend would eventually get better, giving control of Lavidol to the chiefs in his absence. But alas Zdunke succumbed to his illness, Maz refused to believe it and walked uneasily through his friend's estate, while the funeral was still in preparation. Then he found a piece of paper beside Zdunke’s bed. Reading through it Maz quickly realized it was Zdunke’s will. He gasped for a moment as he read through the last sentence which stated “And Staribor, I want to give to the mayor of Lavidol, Maz. He will from now on decide the fate of the town.”

Maz presented the will to the rest of the town and the Simulami government and thus he was appointed as the town's new leader.

Growing influence
Feeling that Lavidol had developed sufficiently Maz looked outwards, first off to Staribor where he appointed one of the lavidolian chiefs and good friend Hity to manage the town besides himself so that he could split his focus.

Next he went to the neighboring island settlement of Snakegarden, which had turned into quite of a ghost town. There Maz started negotiations with the mayor and sole inhabitant of Snakegarden. Shortly after his arrival an agreement was reached where Snakegarden became a de facto vassal of Lavidol. Some time after though the mayor Snakegarden fell in battle and thus Maz was technically the heir to the town as the mayor had no heir apparent themselves. Thus the town's leadership was given to another of the Lavidolian chiefs strengthening Lavidol as a collective even more. Around the same time Maz and the chiefs held a meeting trying to set up a trade outpost in the desert near them to make trade flow easier as the desert provided somewhat of a barrier. One of the chiefs went south along with some of the other Lavidolians and they founded the town of “Al-Lafidol.”

Things went well until on one of Maz’s visits to the town he noticed that the entire population was gone. Believing the town to be cursed they left quickly and have not tried resettling since.

Current state
Currently Maz is a popular figurehead in the area of Finnibus within Simulami. After only having  sparse contact with them after leaving for Simulami he has reconnected with his family and is working closely with them for a renovation of Lavidol, as the town has become somewhat neglected due to the expansion efforts and focus on big projects instead of the town as a whole.
