Westrik Sprout-Petruzk

First Life
Westrik Sprout-Petruzk is an Immigrant to Eldham from Rathnir. He moved here somewhere around the age of eight and bounced around working small jobs for many years before settling in Merconis.

Back in Rathnir Westrik was orphaned in a boating accident that killed both of his parents. Their identities would never be known as he was too young to remember their names.

In Merconis Westrik worked as a builder, he designed the city walls and helped create lots of new housing, he lived at the top of a large wooden tower he built in the center of Oblitus Oris. Westrik did not like the path Merconis was going on, it was clear that the small nation would soon be embroiled in a large conflict he did not think they could win. In response to this he moved to the bitter rival of Merconis, The Zamotz Union.

Westrik lived in a small house on the outskirts of Surif and continued helping construction on many projects. During this time Westrik was adopted by Badi Porisovic Petruzk making him part of the extensive Petruzk family.

After living in Surif for a time Westrik decided that it would be a good idea to have a fort at the top of a nearby mountain called "Samuels Peak". He constructed a large deepslate stronghold named "Fort Angmar". During his time building there Westrik found himself exploring the ruins of a town that once stood at the top of the mountain. Within those ruins he rediscovered The Holy Grass and had visions in his dreams to start the religion of Poacea. He built a church there and soon a city grew around it, Azencrowne is born.

As he predicted, the war between Merconis and The Zamotz Union broke out, he fought for the coalition in the Second Sand War and participated in The Battle of Perria and The Second Battle of Oblitus Oris against his native Merconis. Westrik founded The Duchy of Angmar (part of Swardia) in Azencrowne.

Seccond Life
While working on the roof of the church Westrik was blown off ballance by a gust if wind and fell off the side, he was impaled through his chest by an azalea bush. Carrot was blessed by The Holy Grass so that whenever he dies he is absorbed into the closest living thing, becoming that thing. So Westrik turned into an azalea tree. In response to this gift he vowed to one day return it to the grass.
