Mayus of the Dawn

Mayus of the Dawn, or Mayosh cau Rremaræ in the Lænc, was a Hesperdian leader, statesman, builder, writer, and teacher of the Encan.

He arrived in Rathnir on 27 April, 2021 as a refugee from the Krævan Crisis and became a Macehualtin of the Huitca Federation.

Upon the Rathnir discovery of Eldham, he led a group of Krævan citizens of Huitca to settle in Eldham and meet up with earlier Krævan immigrants in the region. Upon arriving in the Silence, however, the group of settlers found their kin subjugated and oppressed by the Mallachchay Empire, so they fought a war of liberation against the Mallachchay and won. Mayus founded and was appointed Txashikan of the Encan City and its Freehold.

As ruler of the Encan City, Mayus occupied a central position in the Commonwealth of Huitca Nations as steward of the seat. He was instrumental in the chaos of early Eldham colonization attempts in his brutal crackdown on squatters and ruthless border enforcements. As a result, the Encan Freehold existed without any border encroachments during his governance.

During this time, Mayus was also an active statesman in Huitca. He drafted and passed the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments of the Huitca Constitution, establishing Astlin (Ministries) for the executive, administered by the Chiefs of State. Mayus went on to serve three consecutive terms as Chief Counselor, the longest in Huitca history, presiding over notable trials and creating a clear code for the Astli of Justice.

As the Huitca Commonwealth began collapsing with crises in the Iron Freeholds and Neuregnumland, Mayus approached George Weilo, King of Cansavia for a union to strengthen the Commonwealth. The resulting nation was short-lived, as rebellions in Cansavia and the threat of the ever-growing Ravenguard and AWE created a precarious state of instability. As such, with the consent of George, Mayus declared the collapse of the Commonwealth and negotiated the protection of the Encan Silence and Cansavia by the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire. Some months afterwards, the Encan Silence and Cansavia were officially incorporated into the AWE.

Towards the end of his tenure as Txashikan, Mayus was recalled to Huitca with news of Xipitl's razing by bandits from the Ummarnu mesa. Horrified to hear of his home's collapse, Mayus attempted to repair and recolonize the city, with little success. Towards the end of his life, he was approached by the Keseler Khaganate to reform Xiton into the Khaganate of Kharakesestan, to which he accepted. He spent his remaining time in his home in Aequalis.

Shortly after, in the early reign of Quauhtli as Tlatoani, Mayus disappeared from Rathnir and Eldham. Some believe he committed suicide upon witnessing the collapse of the Encan sanctuaries he strived to create. Others believe he has gone in search of new lands, or of his Encan brethren. He leaves behind laws, journals, roads, buildings, and hope for the future of the Encan people. He is survived by his cousin Warek.
