Bowph

Uzair Elernel-Audalad, nicknamed Bowph, and also titled Bowph "The Defeated", is a player on Stoneworks. He is the current Caeron and Overlord of Carn, as well as the former Caeron of Lardburg. Bowph is the Daeron-Quellith (Lord-Mayor) of the grand capital and cultural hub of Lestria. He rules over the Neo-Carnian people, and is the head of their ancient faith, older than the corrupted lands of Jagdas, The cult of the Blue Flower. A castaway from far away, and widely unkown lands, he likes to discuss and talk with the people of Rathnir, especially from other nations, to expand his knowledge and influence.

Humble Beginnings
Like many others, the future Caeron started out as an explorer and nomad. After years of travelling, without any home or goal, he started his journey. He was situated in a big forest, near the Floramian city of Maeleum. Seeking a permanent home and shelter, he tried to get out of Floramia’s borders, and head elsewhere. As a previous sailor, he decided to look for a home by water. While rowing through the Phagosian Sea, he stumbled upon the large island of Ocotlan, belonging to the Huitca federation. There, he met some of the natives, who generously gave him a room and storage inside of their fort, for the small cost of mandatory work. Grateful and no longer homeless, Bowph took care of their farms and fort while looking for alternatives.

Meeting the Caeron
Six days after Bowph found Ocotlan and the natives, he noticed something peculiar. When he went out to reap the wheat, there was not a single soul nearby. Naught but the icy wind and the scent of seawater accompanied him. He sat and enjoyed it, for a short while, before rowing away on his boat. He left the island, and rowed to Southern Alteniquia, looking for economical opportunities, and potentially land related ones. His first destination was a tavern, just in the lands of Theios-Essukdal. It was almost midnight when Uzair arrived. It was full of people cheering, laughing, and even wrestling. He was instantly more charmed than he was with the natives. While looking for empty seats, Bowph saw something strange.

Two figures sitting by a table. One had a pitch black helmet, resembling a skull. The material was unrecognizable, though looked like obsidian. The man infront of him had a crown on his head, and an expensive, detailed robe. But what caught Bowph's eye, was the race of the second individual. He was of the Coenian race. An extremely rare, and very isolated race. After years of exploring and discovering areas in Rathnir, this was the first of his race that he had spotted. The wealthy Coenian seemed to be just as shocked as the future Caeron. As Uzair sat down with the two, they all introduced themselves. The Coenian was called Kerplis, and the skull-helmeted man Null. For hours, they talked and discussed politics, till the sun had started to rise. As both Null Uzair had prepared to leave, Kerplis stopped them, for he had a deal. A deal to give both land and shelter, food and drink, work and payment, if they joined him and his people. Both Null and Uzair without a true home, and Uzair seeking knowledge about the Coenians in Rathnir, they accepted the deal. And so, the three sailed to the Carnian capital of Lestria. From the beautiful city itself, to the pretty forests and nearby savanna, Bowph already began to love region, even more than the cold mountains of Ocotlan. He decided to stay. Permanently.

Work and Elections
After he became a knight of Lardburg, he mostly worked on the construction of the city, the biggest project being the construction of the Lestrian wall. During this time, Bowph also learned a lot about the culture of the region and Kerplis' people, as well as the nation they resided in, Yimmu-Audal. It was at this time that Bowph officially joined and became a citizen of the nation, and still is to this day. As elections for a new Caeron was around the corner, Bowph had over time gained the trust of Kerplis, Null, and the Lardburgian people. This paid off at the elections, where he won, and got crowned by the legendary Bivoj himself. Many of the old Caeron’s titles and powers got transferred to Bowph as he got elected. Those being Caeron, Count, Sahrad, and Gidesh. Shortly after, Uzair reformed Reyllea into the Archduchy of Coenia.

The Aldovir League
It was a normal day in Lestria, when Bowph suddenly got an envelope. It came from the south, from Lioveldor Jabberdrake of Cobbleworks. It read out an invitation to the Aldovir League, an organization of unified and supportive nations, duchies and archduchies, around central Rathnir. As Coenia had suffered from lack of infrastructure, he saw this as a great opportunity not only to strengthen his archduchy, but to serve a greater cause. Therefore he accepted the invitation, and formally joined the league. As time went by, and the member states of the league lived in peace, helping each other, The Battle of New Dorasterrock was around the corner. Each member state joined the coalition, fighting against the land of dandelions, and later winning honourably.

The Empire of Aldovir
After gaining independence from Yimmu-Audal, with the help of Kerplis, the Caeronate of Carn joined the young empire of Aldovir, together with all other member states of the league, but The Kingdom Of Councils, Grizagel, and Kush. Unified and stronger than ever, the states of the empire started to assist and help each other with infrastructure, economy, and conflicts. With the prosperity and glory that the nation had, Uzair went on a vacation through Yimmu-Audal, sightseeing and taking inspiration for future projects. As it was his last day of his vacation, and Uzair was sitting infront of his campfire, eating, a rode up to him. The stranger stepped off of his horse, and gave the Caeron a letter. A letter, explaining the bombing and sacking of the once stunning, and flourishing capital of Lardburg. A group of unhappy politicians, or rather terrorists, had destroyed the city, and killed many in the process. The operation was led by the other candidate, who lost in the elections. Peter, as he was called, felt cheated and frustrated by the outcome of the elections, and tried to claim the throne for himself. Accompanying him, was Derius "The Inconvinient". A famous war-criminal, who commited serveral atrocities in his past.

Hearing these news, Uzair immediately rode back to Lestria, and hastily prepared troops. He made a speech to the world of Rathnir, begging for any available support, as his fear grew. They had caught him off guard, and Bowph knew that this would be a big issue. The following day, he sailed off to the lands of Rhell, together with the Aldoviri forces and the volunteers, mostly from Yimmu-Audal. As the Bowph and his resistance arrived, disorganization hit. The supplies were scattered, the troops were arguing, and thieves had infiltrated the camp. The morale got low. As each division made it to their individual gate, they had a prayer, and for some, it was their last. As the divisions rushed into the ruins, the battle had begun. Arrows were firing, fire was spreading, and explosions could be heard all around the city. Even though the resistance won the siege, they lost the war. The traditional and honourable duel was lost, and won in the favor of the rebels. Expecting an exectution after his big defeat, he accepted his loss, but was pleasantly surprised as the rebels granted him mercy, and offered true peace between both parties. As peace talks were held in the slowly crumbling dining hall of the royal palace, Uzair, Peter, and Derius got on better terms, and each one of them gaining respect for each other.

After that loss, and being titled "The Defeated", Uzair could finally focus on Carn, rather than Rhell. He would from now on not primarily consider himself Lardburgian, but rather Neo-Carnian, and made a separate image for the Caeronate of Carn. It would no longer be fully associated with Lardburg, which was now an individual entity and Caeronate. They were different. And a new age for Carn had just begun.
